Length: 3 Parts

Have you ever wished you could better understand what you read in the Bible? We’ll share a three-step method of reading scripture. This process will make reading the Bible easier and help you apply it correctly to your life.

Part 1: “Observation”

Like a detective, it’s helpful to first pause and process before drawing any conclusions.

Part 2: “Interpretation”

Before asking "What does this text mean?", it’s important to ask what it meant to the original audience.

Part 3: “Application”

We don’t want to just know more about the Bible. We want to put into practice what we learn.
