How to study the bible for all its worth
Led by Nate Adams, this session is designed to help you understand the big picture of the Bible more clearly, and to provide some simple tools for reading and studying your Bible more personally. It will be especially helpful to those without much Bible training or experience but also provide a helpful overview and useful tools to anyone wanting to engage the Bible more deeply. We will talk about common barriers people experience in engaging the Bible, and how to overcome them. We will look at the differences between several main translations of the Bible, and the benefits of different kinds of Bibles. After looking at the Bible’s source, structure, and overall storyline, we will spend two weeks “skipping over the mountaintops” of the Old Testament, and one week doing the same for the New Testament. We will conclude by looking at several methods that can make personal Bible study more natural and motivational. The goal is to help each of us deepen our lives as disciples of Jesus by learning to embrace the Bible personally and more consistently as His personal word to us.
