Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Why Study the Bible?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says Scripture equips us “for every good work.” 

Joshua 1:8 indicates success when we “meditate on it day and night.” 

Hebrews 4:12 calls it “living and active.” Studying God’s Word isn’t homework—it’s how we hear His heartbeat, align our lives, and grow into devoted followers of Jesus who will develop devoted followers of Jesus.
