God sees you. He saw you when you were at your least. He sees you even though you have nothing to offer and He values you.
As the perfect example, Jesus invites us to be like Him and our Father. He invites us to see those that others look past, to really see someone and meet them where they are at. And when we do, He shows us how important it is. We aren't just seeing that person, we are seeing Him.

Bible Reading Tip: Read Slowly
The goal isn't to finish a chapter—it's to understand what you're reading. Sometimes one verse is enough to meditate on for the day.

There are so many things in life that threaten to steal our joy, but God gives it freely and all we have to do is choose it. So the next time you are in a situation where joy doesn't seem to be there, ask the Lord to show you. In asking for help, you are choosing Him and His joy.

Bible Reading Tip: Ask Three Simple Questions
As you read, ask:
What does this teach me about God?
What does this teach me about people?
How should this change the way I live?

These three questions work for almost any passage.

Your Individual Purpose by Design

At ECBI, every class is designed to do more than increase biblical knowledge. Our desire is to help students discover God's purpose, grow in their faith, and be equipped to serve others wherever He leads.

We're grateful for the opportunity to be part of Edward's journey as he continues to use his God-given gifts to encourage and strengthen those around him.

God values you. One of the ways He shows you is through confronting you with His Word so that nothing can come between you and Him. He gives us this plan with each other as well. Our Father loves to see us build relationships and stay connected.
Value those around you enough to have hard conversations in love. Every family member and friend is valuable and worth the effort.

Bible Reading Tip: Read the Whole Context
A single verse can be powerful, but it's often misunderstood when taken out of context. Read the verses before and after—and whenever possible, the entire chapter.

Every class at ECBI is about more than gaining knowledge. Our prayer is that students grow in their love for God's Word and their relationship with Him.

Thank you, Brenda, for sharing how God has been working in your life through the Book of Romans.
