Getting Help From God’s Word

Teaching points

  • Reading Scripture involves attention to what the passage says, what it means in context, and how to respond. Application should follow understanding rather than a detached quotation.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • 2 Timothy 3:16–17
  • Psalm 119:105

Reflect

  • How would slowing down change the way you read a familiar passage?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Read one short passage and record an observation, a question, and an application.
