Reread the Scripture from Worship Service

Definitions:

Do you love to travel? When you go to a place for the first time do you take lots of pictures? Have you sometimes been so focused on not missing something that you actually miss something? Coming back to a place you have already been allows you to slow down and see it in a new way - to see things you might have missed.

Rereading scripture works the same way. When you reread a scripture used in a teaching from Sunday morning you get to slow down, and that opens the door for the Holy Spirit to reveal new and fresh insight. It also allows you to discover new questions to explore. It even allows you to see once again something you saw earlier but rushed past. The Bible is like a well that is so deep you cannot plumb its depths. Reading and then rereading is a part of that process. Take some time to reread the scripture for Sunday’s lesson. As you do, God’s word will become an important part of your relationship with God.

Scripture:

Joshua 1:8
“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have success.”

Details:

Reread the scriptures from the Pastor’s message Sunday. Read slowly and think about what you are reading. Ask God to give you understanding. Review any notes you made and make new ones you may discover. Reread the verses from your Grow Group. Review your notes and reflect on new insight you may see. Remember to read slowly and deliberately. Pay attention to what thoughts and questions may come to mind.
