Action Steps for this Week:

After today’s message, we’ve been challenged to do more than just believe the Bible is true, we need to engage with it, allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate it, and let it transform our lives. So, here’s your challenge this week: three practical steps to help you clear the clutter, make space for God’s voice, and actually live out His Word.

Here are 3 action steps you can begin thinking through this week:
1. Start Small – Read One Chapter a Day.
· If you don’t have a Bible reading rhythm, start with Proverbs. Read the chapter that matches the date. (Example: If it’s the 17th, read Proverbs 17.)
· If you already have a reading plan, stay consistent, but ask God to illuminate something new.

2. Engage – Don’t Just Read, Reflect.
· Before you read, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding.
· As you read, ask: "What is God saying to me? How does this apply to my life?"
Use the Read → Reflect → Read Again → Pray method.

3. Live It – Apply One Truth This Week.
· Take one thing you read and actually do something with it.
· Maybe it’s adjusting your attitude, forgiving someone, or stepping into obedience in a specific area.
· Don’t just audit the Word… LIVE IT!
