Self-Feeder

Excerpt from Dan Kimball post

We are spending 5 weeks teaching about biblical hermeneutics and the importance of becoming a "self-feeder" of Scripture. Starting next Sunday we are going through the letter of Philemon verse by verse. Becky wrote a study guide for the three weeks so she walked everyone through the heart of how it was written and how to use it.

Becky quoted Bill Hybels as part of her point on the importance of people not depending on their Sunday worship gathering to be "fed" each week - but how church leaders should be setting a culture for teaching people how to be studying and learning from Scripture on their own through the week.
