The Bible, God’s holy Word, must be the central focus of the ministry of the Church and guide all the other aspects of ministry. “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching…” Acts 2:42

“We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” 2 Peter 1:16

God’s Word is Unique

We find the answers to life’s biggest QUESTIONS in God’s Word. “Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” John 6:68 1

We find the sole source of AUTHORITY for our lives in God’s Word. “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:21 2

We find Jesus in every PART of God’s Word. “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” John 5:

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

People Need the TRUTH. 1

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’” Romans 10:14-15

People Need God’s Word to be EXPLAINED. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 2

PRAY as you prepare. “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” Ephesians 6:

Study God’s Word for PERSONAL growth. “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105 2

Develop a plan to share God’s Word VERSE-BY-VERSE. “Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.” Psalm 119:34 3

Three Questions to Apply to every Bible Passage: 1. What does the passage SAY? (Explanation) 2. What does the passage MEAN? (Illustration) 3. What DIFFERENCE does the passage make to my life? (Application)

EXAMPLE: JESUS SAID, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set upon a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and pit it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.” MATTHEW 5: EXPLANATION
