The Bible is a collection of 66 different books, written in three languages, across three continents, over a 1,500-year period by 40 different authors. Use tools like these to learn who the text was written to, when, where, and why.
There’s no need to rush. Take your time and get curious.
After studying the context, what questions do you still have? Use your questions as tools to help you dig deeper through prayer, study, and conversations with friends.
A small group is a safe place to make friends who'll help you process your questions about the Bible.
The Bible is meant to transform us, not just inform us. The more we apply what we learn from God’s Word, the more we become like Jesus.
Ask God what He wants you to learn about Him and yourself.
