Introduction
• The Five Solas: Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone.
• Fallen Condition Focus: We are not hungry for the word of God, because we are filled up with other things; we are not feeding on the Word of God and so our spiritual growth is stunted
• Sermon Proposition: Since the Lord has given us his Word for spiritual life and growth, we ought to feed on it constantly

I. The Power of the Word of God - to bring forth spiritual life (1 Peter 1:23)

II. The Nature of the Word of God - living and abiding (1 Peter 1:23-25)

III. The Need for the Word of God - spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:1-3)

So What?
1. Hide it in our hearts (Psalm 119:11)

2. Meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:1, 2)

3. Share it with others (Colossians 3:16a; 4:6; 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
