This sermon passionately calls believers to move beyond superficial Bible reading and into deep, Spirit-led study of God’s Word. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:15, the speaker explains that biblical “study” isn’t merely academic—it’s about urgency, diligence, and devotion. The sermon emphasizes that growing in Christ requires both spiritual hunger and practical obedience, highlighting the vital partnership between the Word of God and the Holy Spirit in personal transformation.

The message also challenges the listener to embrace both spirit and truth—avoiding pride, willful ignorance, and imbalance—and to steward our walk with Christ as the most important responsibility of life. Using illustrations from space and ocean exploration, the sermon paints a powerful image: the deeper you want to go with God, the more of Christ you must put on.
