What's the Big Deal About the Bible?

Last night at youth, Travis finished up his 3 series with a message about the Bible. Everything we need to know to be a follower of Christ is found in the Bible. God can show us new things every time we read the Bible if we remember what Jeremy Kingsley says, "You don't read the Bible to finish, you read the Bible to CHANGE!" If we read God's Word with that mindset, it can do some amazing things in our lives!

The first point Travis made was that The Bible is a Map. In Psalm 119:18-19, it talks about how God's word is our guide. He gives us His Word to guide us through life, through good times and bad. It comforts us, gives us assurance,and leads us in the right direction. Let God's Word guide you!

Secondly, The Bible is a Light. In Psalm 119:105 it says, "Your Word is a light for my feet and a light for my path." God only guides us and shows us what's just ahead, in front of our feet, on our path of life so we will trust Him to guide us. Yes it may be hard and we all want to know what God wants us to do in the future, but God is in control and knows what is best for us and our trust in Him.

Remember, God's Word is not something to be taken lightly, it should be respected and obeyed. When was the last time you took a look at God's Word?
