Shalom everyone. I'm Amir Zarfati here from Connect in Galilee.

And once again, we are here with Dr. Rick Yon for Explore the Bible.

I'm so excited.

Pastor Rick, Dr. Rick, how are you, my friend?

I'm doing very, very well, and I'm just so glad that we are learning how to study the Bible, what to look for when you open up the Word of God.

There are very specific things that we're going to look at this morning or today, whatever the time is.

And we are going to see things that we haven't seen before because we're going to look for different quotes from the Bible, from the Old Testament.

We're going to be able to look at different claims that Jesus makes about himself. We're going to see reactions of people.

We're going to see what comes before and what goes after.

So these are the types of things we want to look at when we get into the Scriptures.

Yes, and we cannot do it before we start with the prayer.

So will you do us the honor and start with you?

I'm glad to.

Lord God, your word is so precious to us.

It is life.

It gives us hope.

It helps us to interpret all the events around us.

It helps us to see the kind of God you really are.

A God who truly loves us,

a God who wants us to know more about yourself.

So teach us during this time that we might have ears to hear and eyes to see and minds to understand.

We ask in that matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
