Ask if everyone did the readings through Philippians
So last week, Isaac discussed with you all about the importance of God's Word.
The fact that you all are here learning about God's Word is proof that you see the importance of God's Word.
But hopefully through this class, we can elevate your view on the importance of Scripture.
And also that each of you will learn how to study the Scriptures for yourself so that you can have a firm understanding of God's Word.
Look with me real quick at some men we are introduced to in And look with me at verses 10-11 (Have Pratim Read) So here in the book of Acts, Paul the apostle comes across some men in Berea.
And notice that in verse 11 it says that these were noble men.
Why?
Because they received the word with all eagerness.
They were hungry and zealous for the Word of God.
They had a passion to learn everything about it that they could.
They held it in very high reverence.
But look at what else it says they did.
It says that they examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
These men didn't just believe the Word because some Pastor said it.
These men were diligent in studying out the Scriptures every day to make sure that what they were learning was accurate.
This is why personal Bible Study is so important.
I know Isaac touched on this last week, but if you guys want to have good theology, you need to be students of the Word.
Even in my walk with God, I have seen this to be so important.
I have heard pastors say things that sound really good, but are totally false.
And it took me actually getting into the Scriptures and studying the Word to see what the truth was.
So with that said, you all were introduced to Inductive Bible Study last week.
This is a huge topic, and let me just say that you can get much deeper into it than we will be able to cover over the span of this class.
But hopefully we will be able to lay out a good foundation for you all, so that you can learn how to effectively study the Bible.

Well, Inductive Bible study simply means to gather the facts about any given book or passage in the Bible, and make conclusions about it.

It's as if we are going to investigate everything we can about a passage, in order to form beliefs about it.
