How to Open Your Bible & Not Just Point to a Random Verse

God gave us His holy Scriptures as His revealed character & will to us. The Bible reveals to us the story of redemption He has worked and is continuing to work in our lives - it is of the highest opportunity and importance we read it daily. But what does it look like to study Scripture, and how do we do it effectively? In this series we are going to talk about and teach through how we can open our Bibles and not just point to a random verse, but truly learn how to understand and apply God's Word to our lives.
