The great decision is how you respond to God.
Psalm 119:137–144, Hebrews 3:1–19, Joel 1:1–2:17

Without God, our lives make no sense. As we read his word we understand the meaning and purpose of our lives.
Psalm 119:89–96, 2 Timothy 3:1–17, Jeremiah 50:11–51:14
The apostle Paul describes all Scripture as ‘*God-breathed*’ (2 Timothy 3:16). The Bible is not just inspired in the way that artists, poets, composers and musical performers can be said to be inspired. It actually has God’s breath, his Spirit, in it. Through the Bible, God speaks to you.
Proverbs 25:21-26:2, 2 Timothy 2:1-26, Jeremiah 49:7-50:10

Proverbs 25:11–20, 1 Timothy 4:1–16, Jeremiah 40:7–42:22
