Scripture at the Center

Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost wasn’t just a passionate speech—it was rooted deeply in Scripture. He quoted the prophet Joel, referenced Psalms, and built a clear case for who Jesus was and what had happened through the lens of God’s Word. The result? Thousands were convicted, repented, and were baptized.
  
There’s a powerful reminder here: God’s Word has authority and life-changing power. We live in a world filled with opinions, noise, and quick-fix advice, but nothing transforms like Scripture. It cuts through confusion and reveals truth.
 
If we want to be Spirit-filled believers, we must also be Scripture-filled believers. The Spirit and the Word work together. The Holy Spirit brings Scripture to life, reminds us of truth, and helps us apply it. The more we know God’s Word, the more we will recognize His voice and live in step with His will.
 
Scripture:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

Application:

Allow Scripture to shape your thoughts, attitudes, and actions. As you allow the Word of God to reveal areas of change, respond to Him and commit to living out His Word.
 
Prayer:
Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. Help me to love it, learn it, and live it. Speak through Your Word and transform me from the inside out.
