1 John 3:11-24 || Ep. 913 - Dwelling in the Word

(There may be a silent section in the audio. Fast-forward or hang in there and the message will resume.)
🌟 You know, sometimes as Christians, we might overlook the simplest yet most profound practices. Today, we’re diving into the importance of letting the word of Christ dwell in us richly and returning the favor by dwelling in His word. But here’s the twist—this isn’t just about Bible study; it’s about loving the Word with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. 💖
And you know what? There’s one essential step that often goes unsaid: prayer. Yes, prayer before you dive into the Scriptures. It’s about opening your heart to the Holy Spirit and committing your time to the Lord. Imagine it as a warm greeting before a deep conversation. 🙏
In this episode, I share a personal story about how I almost missed this step today. It’s like walking up to someone and jumping into a conversation without saying hello! So, let’s be intentional. Before your fingers touch the pages of your Bible, pause, fold your hands, and pray. Let’s invite the Holy Spirit to guide us, teach us, and reveal God’s heart to us. 🌿
Join me as we explore 1 John 3:11-24 together. Let the Word wash over you, invest in you, and transform you. And hey, don’t forget to pray before and after your study. It makes all the difference. 💫

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

1 John 2:25-29 || Ep. 910 Bone Broth & Bible Study

Monday, May 20, 2024 Ep. 910 Bone Broth and Bible Study 1 John 2:25-29 If you've ever made bone broth then you know the importance of having a good filter - a colander, sieve, or cheese cloth. The same applies when we read the Bible. Shouldn't we read the Bible with no filter? Actually, no. We all read the Bible through a filter - several filters actually. The filter of our upbringing, our current situation, even our mood at that moment. Be aware of your filters. You can’t remove them - but you can be aware so that when you read the Word you can ask - How is God using His holy Word in my life to teach me, encourage me, convict me, and change me today?

Today we're going to talk about a simple way to approach God's Word, to grow in your ability to understand, and also help you trust God in the process. 4 tips you'll be really thankful to have...and super simple too!
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
