QUOTE

EZRA 7:10

For Ezra had set his heart (resolved) to

study and interpret the Law of the LORD,

and to practice it and teach His statutes

and ordinances in Israel.

NEHEMIAH 8:5-8 KJV

5

 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above

all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 

6

 And Ezra

blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen,

Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and

worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground. 

7

 Also Jeshua, and

Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita,

Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to

understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place. 

8

 So they read in

the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them]

to understand the reading.

1 THESSALONIANS 2:13 NLT

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that

when you received his message from us, you

didn

’

t think of our words as mere human ideas.

You accepted what we said as the very word of

God--which, of course, it is. And this word

continues to work in you who believe.

We are getting a lot of information, but we are not

experiencing transformation.  People have a high

appetite for more word, but not for transformation.  If

information or knowledge does not bring about

transformation, it is useless.  Knowledge of itself is

great to have, but of itself is useless unless it is used.

PASTOR E.R. HESS, SR.

QUOTE

FROM INFORMATION TO TRANSFORMATION



Most sermons educate vs. creating a desire

in people to want what God offers.



We must move from Information -

Transformation.

OUR EMPHASIS



Our Emphasis must be Jesus Christ!

John 5:39-40 (NLT) 

39

 “You search the Scriptures

because you think they give you eternal life. But

the Scriptures point to me!

40

 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this

life.

NUGGET



Teaching is for Knowledge

and Understanding



Preaching is for Convincing

Good Preaching will inspire you to change, but the

Holy Ghost will empower you to change.

PASTOR WILLIAM MCDOWELL.

God’s eternal, inerrant Word is your

guidebook for all of life, and inductive

study gives you the key to under-

standing that guide. Inductive study, a

method that brings you directly to the

Word of God apart from another’s

understanding or interpretation of the

text, involves three skills: 

observation

,

interpretation

, and 

application

.

Bible study. You are about to learn the

most effective method of Bible study there

is. Yet apart from the work of the Holy

Spirit, that’s all it will be—a method.

As you study any passage of Scripture,

train yourself to constantly ask: Who?

What? When? Where? Why? How? These

questions are the building blocks of

precise observation, which is essential for

accurate interpretation.

A key word is one that is essential to the text. Key

words and phrases are repeated in order to convey

the author’s point or purpose for writing. For

example, notice that some form of the word

suffering is used three times in 1 Peter 5. Key

words can be marked using symbols, colors, or a

combination of the two.

Making lists can be one of the most

enlightening things you do as you study. Lists

reveal truths and highlight important concepts.

1 Peter 5:2,3, for example, contains a simple

list regarding the role of the elder, shown by

numbering the items in the text. It is also

helpful to make a list of what you learn about

each key word or person you mark.

Contrasts and comparisons use highly

descriptive language to make it easier to

remember what you’ve learned. For example,

Peter compares the devil to a roaring lion in

verse 8. Peter also contrasts God’s attitude

toward the proud and the humble.

The theme of a chapter will center on the main

person, event, teaching, or subject of that

section of Scripture. Themes are often

revealed by reviewing the key words and lists

you developed. Try to express the theme as

briefly as possible, using words found in the

text.

WHILE OBSERVATION LEADS TO AN ACCURATE

If you lay the solid foundation of observation, you will be prepared

to consider each verse in the light of the surrounding verses, the

book in which it is found, and the entire Word of God. As you study,

ask yourself: Is my interpretation of this passage of Scripture

consistent with the theme, purpose, and structure of the book in

which it is found? Is it consistent with other Scripture about the

same subject? Am I considering the historic and cultural context?

Never take a Scripture out of its context to make it say what you

want it to say. Discover what the author is saying; don’t add to his

meaning.

When you know God’s Word thoroughly, you will not

accept a teaching simply because someone has used

one or two isolated verses to support it. You will be able

to discern whether a teaching is biblical or not. Saturate

yourself in the Word of God; it is your safeguard against

wrong doctrine.

Remember, all Scripture is inspired by God. Therefore,

Scripture will never contradict itself. Sometimes, however,

you may find it difficult to reconcile two seemingly

contradictory truths taught in Scripture, such as the

sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man. Don’t take

a teaching to an extreme that God doesn’t. Simply humble

your heart in faith and believe what God says, even if you

can’t fully understand or reconcile it at the moment.

An obscure passage is one in which the meaning is

should not be used as a basis for establishing

God spoke to us that we might know truth. Therefore, take the Word of God at

face value—in its natural, normal sense. Look first for the clear teaching of

Scripture, not a hidden meaning. Understand and recognize figures of speech

and interpret them accordingly.

Consider what is being said in the light of its literary style. For example, you will

find more similes and metaphors in poetical and prophetic literature than in

historical or biographical books. Interpret portions of Scripture according to their

literary style.

Some literary styles in the Bible are: Historical—Acts, Exodus; Prophetic—

Revelation, Isaiah; Biographical—Luke;       Didactic (teaching)—Romans;

Poetic—Psalms; Epistle (letter)—2 Timothy; Proverbial—Proverbs

Always try to understand what the author had in

mind when you interpret a portion of the Bible. Don’t

twist verses to support a meaning that is not clearly

taught. Unless the author of a particular book

indicates that there is another meaning to what he

says, let the passage speak for itself.

APPLICATION:

Discover How It Works

The first step in application is to find out what the Word

of God says on any particular subject through accurate

observation and correct interpretation of the text. Once

you understand what the Word of God teaches, you are

then obligated before God to accept that truth and to live

by it.

Scripture will always teach what is right, show us where

we are wrong, how to correct, and train us in right living;

so that we are complete, fully equipped for every good

work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
