Irving Bible Church

Overview

Description:

When you want to dig for what’s most precious, you need to dig deep. Acquire the excavation tools and skills you need to mine God’s Word. Learn to use your eyes to see, your mind to understand, and your heart to apply more of what’s in Scripture. And, like a miner digging for gold, experience the joy of discovering the treasure God can’t wait for you to find.

  1. Use your eyes, mind, and heart to see, understand, and apply more of what’s in God’s Word
  2. Apply straight-forward and proven guidelines and processes to the study of whatever Scriptures you choose
  3. Make the Bible itself your primary source for understanding the passages you choose to study
  4. Experience the joy of discovering and applying the truths in the Bible on your own
