Episode 7 - Watch the Words: Marking Keywords
Ever notice certain words popping up again and again in Scripture? That’s no accident. In this episode, we explore the power of repeated keywords—how they reveal major themes in a single book and connect to the greater story of the entire Bible. You’ll learn how to spot these key words, why they matter, and how marking them (yes, break out your Bible pens or colored pencils!) can help you see God’s message with greater clarity. Get ready to trace God’s heart through His words, one repeated phrase at a time.
HOMEWORK:
Read Ruth Chapter 1. Using Bible pens, colored pencils, or highlighters and mark any repeated keywords. (Secret tip: If a word is repeated, it is a keyword!) You will want to keep your marking consistent throughout the entire book, so grab an index card if you would like to keep track of the words you are marking. For example, "kindness" can be marked with an orange box, and "Bethlehem" could have a light green line through it.
Mark every reference to God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. If you have margins in your Bible, note what you learn about God in the margin.
