Christi Rose
About this episode

Pastor Brad Klassen discusses the importance of Bible study by answering the following questions: Why is it important for every Christian to study the Bible on their own even if they attend a sound Bible-teaching church? What attitude should a believer have when approaching the Scriptures? What encouragement would you give the person who feels their time in the Word is dry? How can believers pursue disciplined study of the Word without allowing that study to become disconnected from a personal devotion to Christ? What helpful steps should someone take when setting up a Bible study plan?
