About this listen
In this message, we trace the journey of God’s Word from scrolls on ancient pages to the living Spirit that shapes our lives today. Psalm 1 shows that delighting in the Word makes us like trees planted by rivers of water, while John 1 reveals that the Word is not only written or spoken, but embodied in Christ Himself. To encounter the Word is more than reading—it is moving from text to testimony, from information to transformation, vanity ends where Jesus begins. In Christ, futility becomes fulfillment as the Spirit takes what is written and breathes it into a life of fruitfulness and communion with Jesus.
Action steps / Takeaways
• Treat Scripture as a relationship, not just an instruction manual.
• Make space for meditation—linger on the Word until it shapes your soul.
• Recognize the difference between container Christianity (safe structures) and river Christianity (living growth).
• Prioritize the words of Jesus; let the Gospels anchor your time in the Word.
• Hunger for Christ Himself—Scripture leads us not just to information, but to encounter.
