How to Study the Bible Mini-Series: Part 1


In this mini-series, we are going to learn how to study the Bible.

In this first episode, we look at the necessity of experiencing spiritual heartburn.

In Luke 24, the two disciples Jesus met with on the road to Emmaus said, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

This same spiritual heartburn is needed in each of us when we approach God’s Word – for it is more than an academic study but a pursuit of God Himself through His Word.
