Study The Bible
For Yourself

Paul told Timothy how important it was to study the Bible:

"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." 1 Timothy 4:16 NIV

Being able to study the Bible for yourself is foundational to growing and maturing in the Christian life. We are slowly starving to death if we rely on a once or twice-a-week sermon. Many sermons are geared toward evangelism or the new Christian, both of which are necessary. However, to mature, Christians must go deeper. We need to know how to feed ourselves from the Word of God to grow.

"Many preachers preach to be popular, instead of preaching to change lives. Their sermons are 95 percent their own thoughts and 5 percent God's truth. And the average church member cannot tell the difference because he or she is Biblically illiterate!" Anne Graham Lotz

Many churches, Bible studies, and courses are homocentric instead of theocentric. This means that they have made man the center when they study the Bible and apply it. Churches, Christian organizations and speakers quickly realize that if they want people's attention, they need to offer courses on personal improvement, such as how the Bible applies to marriage, parenting, finances, etc. The Bible speaks to these and other essential issues. However, we must be theocentric in our approach, which means God must be the center. We study the Bible because we want to learn about God, Who He is and how to direct our lives in a way that pleases Him. If our priorities and motives are incorrect, any benefit we receive will be limited to this world.

How To Feed Yourself is a FREE course. Step-by-step, we lead you through how to study the Bible. Weekly projects will have you practicing what you are learning and illustrating how to apply it to any Bible study you want. It doesn't matter if you are a teenager - who will be shortly making some of the most important decisions of your life and need the guidance of Jesus - or a busy adult who recognizes the need for the wisdom of God in your life or somewhere in between. You do not need special skills or knowledge to master these Bible lessons; you just need a desire to know Jesus better and want to understand and apply the Word of God to your life.
