This sermon builds on the foundation of 2 Timothy 2:15 — urging believers not just to read the Word, but to study it diligently in partnership with the Holy Spirit. The message emphasizes that our pursuit isn’t intellectual mastery, but intimate knowledge of Christ — becoming like Him by immersing ourselves in Spirit-led study of the Scriptures.

The speaker dismantles fear around theological terms like “study,” “doctrine,” and “theology,” calling Christians to seek wisdom over knowledge, discernment over opinion, and relationship over ritual. The Word of God, paired with the Spirit of God, is how we grow, discern, and become vessels fit for God’s use.

💥 Why Listen?

This message is for anyone who:

• Feels spiritually stagnant or disconnected from the Bible

• Struggles to balance truth and Spirit in their walk

• Fears becoming prideful or “too academic”

• Longs to hear God’s voice, walk with Christ, and discern His will

📣 Call to Action: Don’t settle for knowing about Jesus. Come know Him, walk with Him, and let the Holy Spirit illuminate the Word in ways that transform your life.
