The Bereans were people devoted to study and thought. They received the message that Paul spoke and considered that message to discern whether it was true or not. After examining his words, they believed in Jesus. The Bereans should be examples for all Bible studies. Hear, examine, believe.
It is hard to live like the Bereans when you are not part of a group that studies the Bible together. Yes, God can speak to you on an individual level just by reading the Bible. But the opportunity to grow and learn from other people’s readings and experiences is not possible. When you read the Bible alone, you only read the Bible from your perspective. When you read the Bible in a group, you get other people’s perspectives and hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to them through that passage of Scripture.
To be like the Bereans, you need to be part of a group of people who study the Bible. My encouragement for you this week is to plan to come to a Sunday Morning Bible Study this Sunday. We have groups for all ages and stages of life. Come and study the Bible with others and grow in your understanding of God’s Word.
