Immersed in Scripture // Hearing God Series // Pastor Sarah Blount
Jesus didn’t just know Scripture—He lived it. Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we’ll uncover Jesus’s daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God’s presence.
1. Immersion & Encounter
Purpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:
Ask for examples of times they’ve read Scripture and felt personally met by God.
Encourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.
Follow up with: What’s one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?
2. Memorization & Meditation
Purpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:
Briefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:
_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities.
_Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context.
_Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it’s hard.
Ask them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.
3. Response & Supplication
Purpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:
Encourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.
Ask the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.
Offer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there’s gentle accountability.
