This message was for me! I struggle with reading God's Word and staying focused, not getting distracted. Thank you Pastor David! God bless you 💕
You are very welcome!
This is the best , most intelligent , almost surreal teaching of how to read the Bible , that I've ever heard , read , or watched. Thank you Pastor David , for helping us all to know how , and how not to read God's Word. ✝️
I really enjoy your bible commentary. It’s what brought me here. I just finished Nehemiah 8 & took notes:
“The Holy Spirit uses gifted teachers to bring spiritual discernment to us, helping us to understand what God’s word says.”
“Teachers help us understand it all in our own day.”
“Our minds are often slow to understand things that will convict our hearts. We often need it spelled right out to us.”
I’ve always heard that teaching someone else what you’re learning is the best way to know if you understood what you read.
very true, also the best way to learn and remember is to teach.
Thank you for the suggestion to read the Bible with a one sentence summary of each chapter. Thank God for you! 💜
You arde welcome!
What a great way to spend an hour+. This felt like in-person fellowship. Thanks!
Love things like this . I love Jesus and His Word.
When I read the bible It is the first thing in my day, before I get distracted and I pray before and after for God to speak to me through his word, so that I may apply it to that day.
Wonderful, these are excellent practices. I recommend the journaling idea mentioned as well - to write a short summary for each passage, helping to develop stronger understanding and associations with the text.
Thank you for sharing, Pastor Guzik. I'm reading the book psalm and up to chapter 68 and listening to your bible study on Psalm and taking notes to help me understand. God bless.
From Fiji.
David ... this is SO GOOD. So needed. I'll be sharing it.
Blessings Alan!
Thank you Pastor David. This information was so helpful to me. I’m looking forward to the next one. God bless.
Thank you David so much for all these helpful suggestions.
My suggestion on One Year Bible plans - Ignore the dates. That way if you miss a day you will be less likely to give up. There is nothing sacred about starting these on New Year Day. In fact if we treat it as a New Year Resolution, we will likely drop it quickly. Start the plan when God prompts you to start. Do it at the pace that works for you and allow yourself to go on Bible rabbit trails without the fear of not having time to keep up with the plan. By the way David. I LOVE your Bible commentary. It enriches my Bible study. Thank you for allowing God to use you in this way.
This is such a good video! Everything is so relevant. For me, I have to read the Bible, every day, in print. I usually finish it by the end of the year to begin again. I will start writing the sentence summary of each chapter.
Mr. Guzik. I know I'm not the only one that gets so much out of your commentary. Just wanted to say I have taken communication classes and your presentations are 2nd to none.
Thanks for the kind words!
I have found you after just reading and not thinking about what I’m reading!
I pick one of your videos and follow along with you. I pick 1 versus and write it down (SOAP Method). It has helped a lot. I have so many notes in my Bible! It’s beautiful!
You have changed my way of understanding the Bible.
I plan on going through the entire Bible with your commentary. Thank you for sharing your passion! And Gods word!
What a wonderful message to receive! Thank you for your kind words and your support.
May God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.
Thank you pastor David. I have been learning a lot. Am learning from the book of Jer now.
So much wisdom!
This is spectacularly valuable Pastor Guzik! Thank you!
This is EXCELLENT. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for including the audience! David, bless you because God is speaking through your teaching!
Loved this!
Man!! I live kindaaa near Philadelphia, sad I missed it!!
Thank you Pastor David for this video
Thank you for your great Commentary. I started reading a couple of chapters of it a day in Sept of '21 & finished it last month. I'm halfway through Revelation again & plan to keep on going. It's changed my life!
Fantastic!!!
I like this guy. God led me to you.
In my almost 50 years as a Christian, I have yet to find one pastor in person or on line, who has been willing to accept they're wrong about anything when it is pointed out clearly from the Bible. Plenty of lay people yes, including when I am wrong and admit it, but never a pastor. No matter how respectfully, thoroughly or patiently shown they're wrong; they never change their mind when a layman does so.
Thank you! And you're not alone, many prefer video to audio-only content!
Brilliant teaching. Thank you so much. I learnt so much now from message.🙏✍️❤️
23:15 "Jesus Calling" I'm cleaning my house as I listen, I heard that, raced to my bookshelf, yep! I inherited a whole ton of books from my grandpa and mum, and have been trying to find one (of about 15 lol) devotionals to use. Jesus is calling was...creepy and unsettling. I felt very uncomfortable reading it, and ended up putting it off to the point I just didn't anymore. Finally found one now that is Christ focus, but wow, yea.
This was SO HELPFUL!! Thank you very much. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have tried memorizing the scripture severally but it doesn't work for me...instead i try to get acquainted with a particular verse or passage and re-read it until i drill it down to inner self...
So i rarely quote words for words but i paraphrase according to my understanding and its refreshing for me. Maybe I'm just weird though or its a stage of my learning.
I like "memorization with view a mediation upon it." 57:12
I have been a christian for more than 50 years and reading from cover to cover can start to feel like drone mode.So from time to time I change things up, read all the gospels at the same tome e.g reading the different accounts on after the other.Rather than the individual gospels one after the other. Each gospel account is the same story, but from another angle. Reading say, Jeremiah but read it alongside the accounts in Kings and Chronicles. Same with Isaiah, the are events recorded on Kings and Chronicles that give you another perspective of the problems that the prophets were up against. Read all the restoration of the temple books together.
When you read the Jesus's mother nd brothers were outside, looking for him find out what the names of the brothers were. And in another place it mentions sisters too. But where are they?
When Paul mentions the men who went along with him, try to find out more ..Can I recommend an excellent commentary buy someone called David Guzik?; D
Thank you pastor DAVID!
IT'S LIKE THE BOOK THE NEVER
ENDING STORY!
THE NOTHING IS COMING ?
JUST CALL OUT MY NAME! Lo
NOW IF THE SALT LOSES IT'S SALTYNESS ! HOW CAN WE MAKE IT SALTY AGAIN!
Was it the salt he is concerned about? Or
FAITH:
TO THE LOST TRIBES
SCATTERED AMONG
THE NATIONS!
JAMES 1:JAMES 3:
IN JESUS NAME
AMEN
You are welcome!
Me seeing the title:
Just pull out a Bible, digital or literal, and read?
Good video.
What about the the generations of the Bible? That’s what get me.
Well said! It's often a tough read to go through the many generational records, but there is of course value in these sections as well - if not only as historical artifacts in evidence of real people living real lives in real time and space, then also as the encouraging remembrance for the significance each individual person has in the ongoing, unfolding plan of ages.
But also, the simple fact that each name is usually so obscure to our modern ears is often enough reason to discourage an enthusiastic reading!
meeting with God and INTIMACY with HIM!!!!!!!
Jesus Calling needs to stay on the shelf! Read the Word! Jesus calling has some serious discrepancies!
Yes, after I was born again I was handed a Jesus calling devotional the same day and I read it straight through for two years. My Christian walk has honestly never not been shaky though I've read the bible through twice. But I wouldn't give a new believer that book. Maybe just a little book that only had scriptures. Something more seemingly manageable
❤Genesis 12:3 🇮🇱 Matthew 25:31-46❤
❤Christians ✝️ speak of scriptures as being this or that as a salvation 🙏 issue, here Jesus made this a salvation 🙏 issue Himself in Matthew 25:31-46🇮🇱
😊No teasing out scriptures or extrapolations needed, it's as plain as the Sun shine 😊
❤Jesus made this a salvation 🙏 issue in Matthew 25:31-46🇮🇱 and before He returns I'd recommend ministering the same ❤God bless us on our journey ❤
🙏🏻
Great advice ,
How do you read through some chapters where it talks about names and numbers of people. That’s difficult
It takes some work, but you just do it! 🙂
Acts 17 tells one how to read the Bible... 😉
"Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."...
Full context..
Acts Chapter 17:10-13 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
Hi David hope you are well when I watch movies and TV you can tell that they have knowledge of Bible stories and are a parable or have taken the stories to make all types of situations and narratives but after reading the Bible you know there rio offs or diversions the Bible came first ❤️
John 8:31 kjv
It got me back in reading, this adds vallue to the time.
I just barely started paying more attention and receiving alot more from the living water .
