- Read 1 Thessalonians 2:13–20
- Read Chapter 4 of Wiersbe’s Be Ready book, “Growing Pains”
- Answer the 10 questions at the end of the chapter.
- Answer an 11th question: "Define the Word of God". Consider the entire paragraph on page 56, paragraph 4, that leads with the sentence, "The way a Christian treats his Bible shows how he regards Jesus Christ."
As you prepare for study, below are a couple of challenging thoughts to consider:
Challenge 1:
From page 57, all the paragraphs that start with, “Would you rather have. . .”
So the challenging questions for us are:
- Would I rather have God’s Word more than food, money, or sleep?
- Is my desire for God's Word more than anything else evident?
- Consider Jesus asking Peter in John 21, "Peter, do you love me more than these?"
Challenge 2:
From page 58, last paragraph:
- How much time do I set aside for meditating on God’s Word?
