Digging Deeper: Why We Study the Bible | Week One

April 23, 2025 | In this kickoff session, Josiah introduces the heart behind this series and walks through the SOAP method: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Emphasizing that this is not about head knowledge but transformation, he reminds us that we approach God’s Word not as casual readers, but as people being shaped for the work of ministry. Using passages like 2 Timothy 3:16 and Hebrews 4:12, he unpacks the authority and power of Scripture. This lays the foundation for how and why we study—because every follower of Christ is called to know, live, and teach God’s Word.
