3 Essentials for Christian Living eBook

PODCAST INTRO

Welcome back. I hope you had a great week and time to think about last week’s topic, Bible Study and growing in your relationship with the Lord.

Maybe you had a chance to share what you heard with someone else. I’d love to hear about it. Send me an email through the website: ChristianEssentialsPodcast.com 

This week’s episode is a continuation of last week's lesson related to Essential Number Two – Christian Growth – Bible Study.  

Again, Just a quick reminder about the 3 Essentials that we are talking about in case you missed the first few episodes in the series:

1) Birth – We must have a spiritual beginning, being born again as the Scripture describes it 

2) Growth – Once we have begun, we need to grow in our faith and understanding of God’s Word 

3) Reproduction – The Scripture gives us the task of sharing what we know with others, helping them to come into relationship with God and helping them to grow in their faith as well 

Today We’re going to take a closer look at the Second of the 3 Essentials – Spiritual Growth, specifically how to begin studying the Bible, and a few resources to help in your Bible study time.

* How can we understand what the Bible says about everyday life?* Where do I start?* What resources are available to help me understand the Bible?

Special Note:

The topic of Spiritual Growth will be split up into multiple podcast episodes. There is a lot of information to cover and I want to take time to lay the proper foundation for each point, so subscribe to the podcast with the links in the right hand column and tune in each week.

If you have begun studying the Bible, which version or translation are you using? Why are there so many translations?

What is my current understanding of the Bible?

What is my motivation for wanting to know more about the Bible?

What resources do I currently have to help in studying the Bible?

Have I set aside some personal time, daily, to spend time with God in prayer and Bible study? If not, why not do it right now?
