- Why do you read the Bible? Is it to gain information, to check it off a list of “to do’s,” or to know God and build a relationship with Him? What changes can you make to better read scripture in order to grow in your relationship with God?
- Read Matthew 6:19-21. In the sermon, Adam stated that God’s truth is the greatest treasure (Psalm 119:14). Is there anything that you are elevating as a greater treasure than God’s Word (money, status, etc…)?
- How can you better practice the 3 areas that Adam pointed out from Mark 1:35-37 to be in God’s Word (find the time of day you feel in control, find an environment with few distractions, and be alone)?
- Is there any “supplement” to God’s Word that you are leaning on too much? How can you shift away from that supplement to rely primarily on God’s Word?
- Are you ready to resolve and be determined to be in God’s Word consistently (Psalm 119:15)? Do you believe that it is one of the best ways to experience God’s blessings, which are greater than the worldly treasures of money, power, etc.?
