When will you schedule to do it? Where will you do it? What will your Bible study plan be? Suggestions for Your Bible Study Plan: a) Do a of a subject you want to learn more about or work on in your life. Use your concordance or topical study in your Bible So That s In The Bible by Broadman and Holman Publishers What Does The Bible Say...The Ultimate A-Z Resource by Thomas Nelson Publishers b) Begin to read through a. I would recommend the following order to help you get started: John Acts Romans 1 John 2 John 3) your plan for devotions and ask them to help you with it. Galatians Ephesians Philippians Luke 1 Corinthians 4) Discuss the next steps for your small group. 2 Corinthians James Genesis Psalms Proverbs

2 Matthew 7:24 27 (NLT) 24 Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash. John 8:31 32 (NLT) 31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. James 1:22 25 (NLT) 22 But don t just listen to God s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. James 1:5 (NLT) 5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. Psalm 119:33 34 (NLT) 33 Teach me your decrees, O LORD; I will keep them to the end. 34 Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart. Learning from God s Word is huge as it relates to your spiritual journey. You will begin to drift in your spiritual journey if you don t spend time praying and studying the Bible. The Bible has been given to us to help us transform our life. It is not simply a book so we can know who God is and what God thinks. Four Keys to Help You Apply the Teachings of the Bible: 1) Ask God to what you read and how He would like you to apply it to your life. 2) Use as a guide to help you apply Scripture. S Is there a sin God wants me to confess? P Is there a promise I can claim? A Is there an attitude God would like me to change? C Is there a command God wants me to obey? E Is there an example God would like me to follow? P Is there a prayer God wants me to pray? E Is there an error God wants me to avoid? T Is there a truth God wants me to believe? S Is there something to praise God for? It is important that you spend time thinking about how what you read in the Bible applies to your life. THIS WEEK: Watch Week 6 Video Teaching in your small group or online ( and work on pages in the 40 Days in the Word workbook. For more information about what it means to begin a relationship with Jesus or what to do after making a decision to follow Him, stop at Guest Central in the lobby following the service or call the church office at to set up an appointment.

A Prayer: The path to be more like Jesus and have a better life is not in knowing more. It is in putting into practice the teachings of God s Word. Dear Jesus, Teach me Your decrees and I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions. I will put them into practice with all my heart. Jesus, I want to be more like you and I want to live for you every day of my life. I need you in my life and want you in my life. Help me become more and more like you every day of my life as I study Your Word. Amen.
