The Goal of The Noble Groove is to remind and encourage us to examine what we hear and see in light of God’s Word. The Noble Groove draws its inspiration from Acts 17:11, where we read about the noble Bereans.
The nobility of the Berean Jews was not in their lineage or societal standing, it was in their character and state of mind. As opposed to the repulsive Jews in Thessalonica:
1. They received the message of the gospel with eagerness
2. They examined Paul’s teaching in light of the Scriptures.
3. They continued to search the Scriptures daily:
The Berean Jews were on one hand not unreasonably repulsive, and on the other, not naïve.
This is the focus of The Noble Groove. “Noble” refers to the virtuous and honorable character of examining everything in light of God’s Word. And “Groove” is the reminder to pursue this virtue routinely or daily.
Oddly enough, Paul would later write to the Thessalonians: “… but test everything; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 ESV).
