Psalm 1 - If the Bible is all that we've learned that it is then it begs the question: What do we do with it? In this sermon we conclude our consideration of the broad category of "meditating on Scripture" and look at 2 more specific forms it can take: meditation and memorization. In all the ways we approach the Bible, we have to be ready to answer with a resounding “Here I am, speak!” We have to approach it with trembling humility—knowing that we aren't reading dead letters, but spirit-inspired and spirit-illuminated words of God. And we have to approach it with delight in full acknowledgement of the privileged, holy ground we're stepping onto when we take this book and eat it. All that we might see and savor Jesus Christ Himself and be transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. A sermon by Cameron Heger and Joel Christopher. [Part 6 of our series "The Very Words of God: Answering, trembling & delighting before the Holy Scriptures"] Questions for reflection: 1) Have you ever tried meditating on the Bible? How did you go about it? 2) Do you find an approach like "lectio divina" or, on the other hand, an approach like deep Bible study more appealing? Why? 3) What has your relationship been like with memorizing Scripture? 4) What is one verse you've never memorized that you think would be good to do? 5) What difference does the belief that the Bible is the very words of God make for how we approach it? 6) Talk about some of the ways we encounter Jesus in the Bible.
Psalm 1 - The first Psalm describes the kind of person who finds deep blessing and flourishing. At the heart of the description is a vital relationship to the Scriptures--a relationship of delight and meditation. To "meditate" in the Psalm 1 sense is to continually and repeatedly engage with the parts of the Bible in light of the whole and whole of the Bible in light of the parts in various ways until we are immersed in and formed by the gospel, story, wisdom, and commands of God that we find across its pages. In this sermon we introduce the broad category of "meditating on Scripture" and look specifically at 3 forms it can take: listening, wide reading, and deep study. A sermon by Cameron Heger and Reed Hooke. [Part 5 of our series "The Very Words of God: Answering, trembling & delighting before the Holy Scriptures"] Questions for reflection: 1) What do you think it means to "delight" in the Bible? Why is this important? 2) What is the relationship between being formed by the Bible and "blessedness" or "prosperity"? 3) How does this passage reinforce the idea that interaction with the Bible is a life-long endeavor? 4) In what ways did Jesus embody the life of the true Psalm-1-person? 5) How do listening, reading, and studying enable you to engage the Bible in different ways? 6) Share some ways of engaging with Scripture that you've personally found helpful over the years.

Ezekiel 3:1-3
The Bible isn't fast food. It's slow bread. In a world of scrolling and skimming, we've forgotten how to pause with a single verse, sit in silence, and let it speak to us. This week, we'll rediscover the ancient practice of meditating on Scripture, not as an escape from life but as a way of soaking in truth that transforms us. You don't need a seminary degree to hear from God. You just need time, attention, and a willingness to listen.

Pastor Dru Rodriguez highlights the powerful invitation to deeply internalize God's Word by urging believers to “eat” the Bible—allowing its truth to saturate and transform every part of their lives rather than merely reading it passively.

In 1535, William Tyndale was burned at the stake at the order of the King of England for the grievous crime of translating the Bible into English, and then printing it and disseminating it. King Henry 8th was so furious, he burned 6,000 copies of the Bible. But today, we don't burn the Bible. We just ignore it. In 2 Timothy 4, the Apostle Paul says what King Henry knew - that the Bible is dangerous because the Bible is no mere book. It's the Word of God and it has the power to utterly transform us, in the process forging us into the likeness of Jesus in a world that desperately need it. The Bible really can do that. That is, if we let it. SPEAKERS: David Tieche (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): 2 Timothy 5
