The Faith of the Berean Jews

Today is April 24, 2024

Welcome to your mid-week!

The faith of the Berean Jews is more than just reading and studying and memorizing scripture. It is their relationship with scripture that is their act of faith. And it is a that relationship that scripture calls us to have with it.

Yes, the bible tells us to read it and study it and memorize it. But the bible also tells us

to sing scripture,

to pray scripture,

to practice scripture,

to meditate on scripture,

to treasure scripture,

to hear scripture,

to obey scripture,

to discern scripture,

to proclaim scripture,

to recount scripture,

to lament with scripture,

to exhort scripture

to teach scripture,

to comfort with scripture,

to rebuke with scripture,

to absolve with scripture,

& to encourage with scripture.

Having a relationship with scripture is more than just opening up a bible and reading it. It is about having it be active in your life; something that is a part of you; that defines your very identity.

That’s the faith that the Berean Jews show us, and that is the faith that resonates.

God’s blessing upon you as you think about your relationship with scripture, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.

- Rev. Frank Kim
