Deeper!
2 Timothy 2:14-15
A Worker Approved by God
14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
SERMON NOTES
“The Word of God I think of as a straight edge, which shows up our own crookedness. We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.” - Elisabeth Elliot
- God wrote a book! How do you defend the trustworthiness of the Bible? The historical reliability of the Bible?
- What is the difference between devotional reading of Scripture and studying the Scriptures?
- What tools do you use to help you study the Scriptures? What tools should you look at getting to help you study the Scriptures?
