We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and His divine revelation to us. This practice consists not only of reading but meditating and studying Scripture to find out who God is and what He has done. Then we apply these truths to learn who we are and how we should live. Studying the Bible is not merely for obtaining information, but to prayerfully allow the Holy Spirit to use what we read and study to transform our hearts and lives. Jesus teaches us that all of Scripture bears witness to Him, so Bible study is a discipline that connects us to Christ, reveals God’s will, and strengthens our faith. Humbly examining scripture with the guidance and illumination of the Holy Spirit shapes us more and more into the likeness of Jesus as we learn and apply His teachings.
