chasing sacred bible study: a five-week journey through colossians and philemon

How do I create a consistent, fulfilling Bible study routine?
If you’ve ever struggled to spend time in God’s Word on a regular basis, you’re not alone. So many of us deeply desire to come to Scripture for meaningful connection, but with the chaos of everyday life, God’s Word so often takes a back seat to the immediacy of life’s needs. Yet firm grounding can be found in the pages of the Bible when we truly take the time to understand what it says. In this five-session Bible study companion to the book Chasing Sacred, designed for both individuals and groups, Bible teacher Mikella Van Dyke invites you to chase the sacred narrative woven through the pages of Scripture and get to know God in a deeper, more intimate way. Using the Inductive Bible Study Method, journey with Mikella through the books of Colossians and Philemon to:

• Observe: Take a look at the biblical setting. Who was the author? What was happening during this time period? You’ll uncover the nuances of the culture and context of the time.
• Interpret: Take a deep dive into the waters of His living Word. Then learn how to ask questions that will guide you into greater understanding of the text.
• Apply: Let the Holy Spirit allow the truths of scripture to sink deep into your heart and give you the strength to continue onward in this walk of faith.

Investing time in studying Scripture never comes back void. In this study, Mikella offers the reminder that Jesus longs for you to rely on truth, to look up beyond the impossible demands of the world and stand firm in the Father’s unconditional love for you.
