No book or sermon can replace reading and studying God's Word for yourself
Vince Baker
Why should Christians study Scripture for themselves?
The Bereans listened eagerly to Paul and searched the Scriptures to examine what they heard. Paul tells Timothy that Scripture equips believers for good works. A sermon or book can help you see a passage, and reading the passage yourself helps you test and apply the teaching.
Read the Bible (KJV) · Acts 17:10-12 · 2 Timothy 3:14-17
Put it into practice · Choose a verse from a recent sermon. Read the surrounding paragraph, identify the author’s main point, and compare it with what you heard.
