Jeff · Working with the Word

In the third installment of our Titus mini-series, we dig into chapter 2 to discover the core of Paul's message in this letter. What does Paul want Titus to teach - and why? What does sound teaching have to do with the gospel? And how does God's grace change us by giving us a "why" for righteous living?

Do With Your Heart

Jeff · Working with the Word

What is the hardest part of good Bible study? Observation? Interpretation? By far it is the final step - Application. Everything is pointless unless we do what God says. But there is so much more to application than saying "just do it." Why do we sometimes struggle to apply the Bible? Are there any pitfalls we must avoid? How do we overcome them?

Open Your Mind

Jeff · Working with the Word

After Observing what the text says, the next step is to Interpret what it means. This step may sound difficult or subjective, but we suggest it is neither. The goal of interpretation is not to read our own meaning into the text, but discover God's intended meaning within the context of Scripture.

Find Your Why

workingwiththeword · Working with the Word

So you want to become a better Bible student? That's great, but slow down! Before you jump into the "how" of good Bible study, you need to evaluate your "why" by asking questions like, "Why do I study? What motivates me?" Jeff and Emerson talk about why this first step is essential for fruitful study.
