How to Read the Bible: Letting God’s Word Transform You
How to Read the Bible: Letting God’s Word Transform You
A practical guide to Scripture that moves beyond reading — into life-changing transformation.
Many people want to read the Bible more but don’t always know where to start. In this message, Journey Church walks through simple, practical steps to help you build a meaningful Bible-reading rhythm that actually transforms your life.
Using key passages like Hebrews 4:12 and Colossians 3:16, we explore how God’s Word is alive, powerful, and meant to fill your life — not just inform you.
You’ll learn how to:
Choose a clear translation
Pick a good starting point
Set a consistent time and place
Develop a simple reading plan
Avoid eisegesis and practice exegesis
Use the S.O.A.P. method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer)
Pray before and after reading
Share what you learn and obey God’s leading
We study the Bible not just to gain information, but to allow God to shape our hearts, homes, marriages, and minds. This message will help you move from just reading Scripture… to letting Scripture read you.
The Bible Is Alive
Why Scripture Still Matters — And How It Transforms Your Life
In this message, Pastor Ken launches a brand-new series on the Bible — not as an old book of ancient words, but as the living, God-breathed letter from our Heavenly Father. We live in a generation with more access to Scripture than ever before… yet we read it less than ever. Why? What keeps us from engaging God’s Word? And how do we unlock the life and transformation that comes when we truly open His Book?
In this message we learn:
why the Bible is unlike any other book
how Scripture is both alive and active
why the Bible still points to Jesus on every page
how reading God’s Word can transform the decisions we make each day
This is a call to return to Scripture with fresh hunger and fresh passion — because the Bible isn’t just information… it’s invitation.
Amen: God Is Able
In this message, Pastor Al Yanno unpacks the power behind a single word: “Amen.” From Ephesians 3:20–21, he shows how Amen is more than a closing line—it’s a declaration of confidence, abundance, empowerment, and worship. Hear stories of church planting, foster care ministry, and a powerful family testimony of freedom and restoration. You’ll be challenged to trust God in every season and to live as His Amen in the world.
Going on Offense
When the enemy pushes you down, push back in prayer.
What if the very thing meant to drag you down could be the fuel for making an eternal difference?
God Revealed in the Storm
Christine Little’s Testimony of Faith, Healing, and Mission in Zambia
In this powerful message, missionary Christine Little shares her testimony of serving in Zambia for 19 years and how God walked with her through one of life’s greatest storms — a cancer diagnosis. From demonic deliverances in Muslim communities to mobile medical ministry, Christine recounts moments of radical obedience and divine intervention. As she reflects on Mark 4 and the disciples’ fear in the storm, she encourages us to trust the God who never sleeps and is present even when we feel alone. This is a testimony of healing, purpose, and unwavering faith.
The Essence of True Worship
Worship in Spirit and Truth
We delve into three key questions about true worship based on John chapter 4: where, who, and how to worship God. The message emphasizes that worship is not bound by location, requires a true understanding of God, and must be performed with sincerity and honesty from the heart.
