Everyone uses keys whether it’s the traditional type, a fob, a password to your computer, phone, bank account or a garage keypad. Keys matter so much we try to guard them diligently. If you use the wrong key, the results can be frustrating at the least and devastating at the worst. The Bible is our Life manual and God’s love letter to us. In it He has revealed the key that opens you and I up to a brand new life and this talk will help you discover whether you’ve found His key and if not, how you can.

God has great plans for every one who has become His brand new friend, daughter, and son. He has recorded these in a book called the Bible. Many people respect the Bible as a Holy book but don’t realize it’s God’s Love Letter to those who follow Jesus and releases Life to anyone who would read it with an open heart. This talk is designed to help you see God’s Word as His gift to help us know Him and experience Him in our daily lives.
