Lesson 3 - Learning to Slow Down: Learning to Study God's Word for Yourself

What might we discover in Scripture if we simply learned to slow down?

Lesson 3 teaches students to resist hurried reading and give careful attention to the words of Scripture. Students practice slowing down, noticing details, and allowing the text to guide their thinking before moving too quickly toward conclusions.

In this lesson, students will:

• Recognize how hurried reading can cause important details to be missed
• Practice reading a passage slowly and deliberately
• Notice words and details that deserve closer attention
• Develop a more thoughtful approach to personal Bible reading
