Lesson 1 starts us on the journey of listening to the Bible both in terms of what God was saying to the original audiences of its books and in terms of what God might be saying to us today through its words. We begin with a focus on prayer. God can not only transform our hearts as we read the Bible, but he can help our minds understand. Prayer can be a means of grace for our whole person, mind, body, and spirit!

This lesson aims to equip you to:

1. See prayer as a vital exercise in our interpretation, application, and experience of Scripture.
2. Understand the overall process of inductive Bible study as well as a sacramental experience of Scripture.
