How do you study the Bible when you don't know where to start?
Many believers want to understand God's Word but have never been taught how to study it for themselves. Whether you're newly saved, unfamiliar with Scripture, or have spent years listening to Bible teachers, learning to search the Scriptures independently is essential to spiritual growth.
In this first message of a new series, Sowing in the Word, Scott Mitchell begins with the fundamentals of Bible study. Using Scripture to explain Scripture, he demonstrates why studying God's Word requires humility, prayer, diligence, and a willingness to learn from the Holy Ghost rather than relying entirely upon the interpretations of men.
Scott also introduces the importance of Paul's ministry to the Gentiles and the instruction to rightly divide the Word of truth in 2 Timothy 2:15.
This series will take a step-by-step approach, helping believers build a foundation for studying the Bible, understanding difficult passages, and becoming established in sound doctrine.
