Summary

A huge aspect of living an abundant life is the realization your life has purpose and meaning. God truly has a beautiful plan for his glory and your good set before the foundations of the earth, not only for mankind, but for your life. As we begin wrapping up our week on living an abundant life, I hope you leave today encouraged, envisioned and empowered.

Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 2:10, and today's worship is Future / Past by Bridgetown Music.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.

A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:

Why do we read the Bible?
How was the Bible created?
Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
What is the Bible about?
What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
What can I learn from others?
How can I learn for myself?

I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.
