How to Read The Bible 📖
The Bible can feel overwhelming — but it was meant to be understood and lived. In this series, we'll explore what the Bible is, how it came together, and why it’s still the living Word of God today. You'll learn where to start reading, how to approach confusing passages, why certain books made it into Scripture, and how to see every page through the lens of Jesus. Whether you're new to faith or looking to go deeper, you'll walk away with greater confidence to read, trust, and live out God's Word.
