Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Nehemiah 8:1-8 (Nehemiah 8:1-8; Ezra 7:10; Mark 7:1-13; 2 Peter 3:14-18; Titus 1:1-4; Luke 24:27; John 11:35; Psalm 6:6; 119:18; Matthew 12:3; 2 Timothy 2:10-19; Hebrews 4:11-14; James 1:22-25)
How do we ensure we’re understanding God’s Word as He intended?
In this lesson, we’ll focus on a proper interpretive approach—learning how to faithfully draw out the meaning of Scripture, understand core principles of interpretation, and recognize the importance of context in discerning what God is saying. We’ll also see why careful interpretation matters: it helps us hear God clearly, avoid error, grow in discernment, and obey His Word faithfully.
How we study Scripture shapes not only what we know, but who we become in Christ.
Series description:
We live in a world overflowing with voices—self-help books, podcasts, influencers, trends, and opinions promising wisdom, direction, and clarity for life. Yet with all this noise, people are more confused, anxious, and spiritually unanchored than ever.
This new year, we’re returning to the one place God has promised to speak with authority, truth, and life: His Word.
Open the Book is a four-week journey into the Scriptures—why we need them, how to read them, and how God uses them to shape us. Instead of chasing guidance everywhere else, we will rediscover the wisdom, comfort, correction, and hope found in the pages of the Bible.
When we open the Book, we open our lives to the voice of God.
When we open the Book, we find what our hearts have been searching for.
When we open the Book, we find the way to live.
This series will teach us not only how to read, meditate on, and study the Scriptures, but why they are the most reliable guide for every step of the year ahead.
All the direction you need for life is in the Book—so let’s open it together.
