We are into December already, it's crazy to think about as we approach the holiday season and Christmas and the new year.

We're focusing on Bible study habits. Last time, last week, we looked at how to study the Bible on one topic that was Apj 1998, a very practical episode where you,

Pastor John, just walked us through

how you do a word study on a single term or a topic.

Very simple hands-on.

And then coming up later this month,

we're going to look at the grammar of the Bible and the importance of that little word therefore therefore

coming up December 14th. Then we look at why daily Bible reading habits are essential for us in

2024. I guess a motivation that's coming up on December 18th and then we return

after Christmas to look at a very common hindrance to the discipline of Bible

reading inevitably throughout the year when my Bible reading seems flat.

I read but my heart is dull. What should I do? What can I do? That's on December 28th, so a big month ahead on Bible

Go to the aunt.

Study the ants, learn from the ants.
