IMPORTANCE OF BIBLE STUDY
Main Text: Acts 17:10-11
Memory Verse: Acts 17:11 “Now the Bereans were
of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message
with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul
said was true”
Introduction
Food nourishes the body and helps it grow. The food for the soul is the
word of God. It is therefore important for the soul to be nourished with the
word of God. Many Christians find time for any other thing apart from studying
the word of God. It is sad to see many Christians take notes on Sunday sermons
and never read through the notes till the next Sunday.
In our reading today, we encounter the Berean church. They dedicated
themselves to the study of the word, even after Paul had preached. A Christian
who starves himself of the word of God is susceptible to all forms of winds,
such as wrong doctrine, false teachings, and temptations from the devil.
Today’s study looks at the importance of Bible study.

Conclusion
Many Christians are tossed about by all forms of doctrine because they
are malnourished in the word of God. Having enough time to feed and digest the
word of God provide a very strong foundation for every Christian. A menu of
difficult topics, principles of God and deeper insight into the word of God is
served at Bible study meetings.
Bible studies also provide members (participants) with a good platform to
know one another and build fellowship in the church. It is therefore dangerous
for Christians to deliberately avoid Bible studies since it can be detrimental
to the development of the church.
