About This Message
In this foundational teaching, Pastor Addison urges Christians to treat Scripture as a connected book with context and flow rather than a grab-bag of isolated verses. Anchored in 2 Timothy 2:15's call to 'study to shew thyself approved,' he explains how words gain meaning from sentences, sentences from paragraphs, and paragraphs from the whole book, stressing that readers must seek the author's original intent before applying a passage.
Key Takeaways
- Read Scripture as a connected book, not scattered isolated verses.
- Words and verses only make sense within their larger context.
- Seek the one true interpretation before looking for personal application.
