During the Covid-19 Quarantine, the staff at First Evangelical Free Church started doing a short video series on our Facebook and YouTube channels called “From the Desk.”  The hope was to create another avenue of connection for our people during the period of time where personal connections were increasingly difficult to have.  The series includes thoughts on worship music, basic devotions, or just thoughts from the staff at FEFC.
 
For the past six weeks, I’ve been using the time to share about how to better read our Bibles.  We as followers of Jesus Christ are to be students of “the Book,” letting it be our primary and supreme influence as we grow into the image of Christ.  Unfortunately, many of us have never been taught how to read the Bible.  If and when division or disagreement comes about applying the Bible to life Christians, young and old, often do not have the tools to read and understand what this essential book has to say about any given situation.  We are left to the guidance and interpretation of others instead of being able to understand the passages ourselves.
 
While this short video playlist doesn’t go into great depth, I feel passionately that the timing of these videos is particularly poignant given our culture today.  The culture at large would like us to view God’s Word as a fluid, easily changeable thing.  They are fine with the believer believing what the Bible says as long as it can be updated to better reflect the modern era we live in.  One of God’s characteristics is His immutability.  That means God does not change, and neither does His Word.  While we can always search deeply to find how the Bible applies to our lives, it never changes its meaning.  It takes less than 30 minutes to watch the whole playlist, and I hope the tools that are unpacked are helpful as we all grow in the image of Christ!
 
For His Glory,
-Pastor Zach
