Session One: The Prerequisites of Bible Study
Before diving into specific tools and methods for studying Scripture, we must ask: How do I get ready to hear from God? In this session, you will learn:
- That the Bible is the means through which God speaks to us.
- The importance of prayer before and throughout your time in the Word.
- An obedient attitude is necessary to allow the Bible to transform your life.
- How to cultivate the attitudes of someone who reads the Bible for themselves.
In the video, Bro. Derrick identifies five essential attitudes to successfully Reading the Bible for yourself. As you watch, use this workbook to take notes and contemplate how you can implement each attitude in your posture before approaching God’s Word.
