WHY should I study the Bible?
- Grow in our relationship with God: Deepening our faith in God happens as we learn more about God, hear from God, and grow closer to God through Scripture. It's relational, not just informational! "Lord, speak to me" = Relationship not a check-list.
- Searching for meaning & purpose: Many people turn to the Bible when they are asking life's big questions: "Why am I here? What Matters? How should I live?" The Bible offers a framework that helps people make sense of their experiences and find direction.
- Looking for comfort & hope: During difficult times people often seek the Bible's promises of God's presence, love, and hope. Passages like Psalm 23 resonates deeply when life feels overwhelming.
- Seeking community & belonging: Reading the Bible connects people to a global community of faith, both present and historical. It provides shared language, stories, and values that create bonds with others.
-Practical wisdom and truth for daily life: Many approach it as a guide for relationships, decision-making, ethics, and navigating challenges. The Psalms, Proverbs, Jesus' teachings, and Paul's letters offer concrete guidance people find applicable.
