The Word as Revelation
The Word as Revelation
Speaker: Pastor Rachel Culver
Date: July 13, 2025
It’s not just about information; it’s about revelation. In this powerful message, Rachel Culver reminds us that the Word of God is meant to be approached with expectancy—because God longs to reveal Himself like an artist revealing meaning through a masterpiece. Join us as we continue our Get Shredded series and discover how to let the Word read you!
Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on this sermon:
Day 1: Unveiling God’s Love
Reading: John 3:16–21; Romans 5:6–11
Devotional: Just as the sermon described the moment a twelve-year-old encountered the revelation of God’s love, today we focus on experiencing that same love anew. As you read, don’t simply process the information—ask God to reveal His love to you personally. Reflect on times when you’ve felt God’s love in a tangible way. How did it change you?
Day 2: Seeing Jesus in Scripture
Reading: Luke 24:13–35
Devotional: The story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus reminds us that Jesus is present throughout all of Scripture. As you read today’s passage, imagine walking alongside Him. What would you ask? How might He explain the Scriptures to you?
Day 3: The Power of Revelation
Reading: Ephesians 1:15–23
Devotional: Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians highlights the vital role of spiritual revelation. As you read, pay attention to the specific things Paul asks God for. How might your life be different if you received “the spirit of wisdom and revelation”?
Day 4: Tasting the Sweetness of God’s Word
Reading: Psalm 119:97–104
Devotional: The psalmist describes God’s words as “sweeter than honey.” This image invites us to savor Scripture, not just read it. As you go through today’s passage, slow down. What verses stand out to you? How does God’s Word “taste” to you today?
Day 5: Finding God in Suffering
Reading: Romans 8:18–39
Devotional: Though not mentioned directly in the sermon, the theme of God’s presence in suffering is essential to our journey of faith. Today’s passage reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. As you read, consider how these verses might encourage someone going through hardship. Reflect on your own experiences of God’s faithfulness in difficulty. How has suffering revealed more of God’s character to you?
