Bible Study Resources

The Bible is God’s breathed-out Word.

In the Bible, God speaks personally and authoritatively about the salvation he’s accomplished through his Son, the Lord Jesus. And he speaks to us in his Word to change us, to equip us for every good work.

The following videos begin to explain a few basic tools for biblical exposition. They aim to encourage us to keep making progress in hearing God’s Word, doing God’s Word, and retelling God’s Word—all for the glory of Christ Jesus.

Recalibrating Your Calendar

In October of 2025, this forum encouraged us to reflect on what our calendars reveal about our priorities, ambitions, and limits, and how well our schedules align with Christ’s priorities, including spiritual renewal and rest. Acknowledging that there is no single “right” way to structure a Christian schedule—and that many demands are unavoidable—we explored biblical wisdom for stewarding time and energy in ways that promote flourishing, even in demanding seasons. We considered how to resist chronic busyness and worked toward recalibrating our calendars according to Christ’s heart, with the goal of also helping others do the same.
