Do you find yourself wanting to read the Bible but have no idea where to start? Do you try to read some of the Bible but then after you are done, you feel like you have no idea what you just read? Do you want to grow in your love for God's Word and sharpen your abilities in reading it well? Our esteemed Pastor and Christian Studies Professor extraordinaire, Joshua Styles, will be leading the men through a 5-week class called How to Interpret the Bible.
We will be using Scott Duvall's and Daniel Hays' Journey Into God's Word. We will be covering the first eight chapters in the spring and will plan to cover the latter seven chapters in the fall. Please purchase your own copy of the book (we are using the 2nd edition that was published in 2020 - you are welcome to use the first addition but you will miss a couple of chapters). Please plan to have read the chapters below by the date indicated.
This Equip Class will be on Sunday nights from 5:00-6:15 PM in conjunction with RA's & GA's. We hope that you will join us!

Ch. 7 (What Do We Bring to the Text?)
