BIBLE 101: HOW TO READ THE BIBLE

Introduction

To be an able-bodied minister of the Gospel it must include knowing the Word. However, it’s not an easy book and most Christians haven’t received training in how to read the Bible. This course will equip the student with knowledge of how the Bible came to be; how all the parts come together to tell a unified story; and how to begin finding the meaning of each verse and truth for yourself!

This course is typically offered as a self-directed study so it falls on the student to discipline oneself each day and week to complete the material and assignments. Unlike most courses however, this course is broken into daily readings and exercises to make it doable for anyone (you can even do it in place of your regular Bible reading time).

Special Note: January 7, 2024 we are offering a weekly meeting as a part of this course to ask questions, share excitement, debrief and learn more together. Join host, Tyrel Williams, on Sunday evenings at the church for this weekly gathering!

We pray God uses this course to forever change your relationship with Him and make a positive change in the way you love your neighbour.
