CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
Summer of 66
Jun 16 – Sep 1 | 10 AM
We’re often encouraged to read our bibles – but do we really know how to? In this 12-episode series, we’re taking a look at each of the Bible’s six literary genres and learning how to approach them. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 says, “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” By creating a deeper understanding of scripture, we will build a strong foundation for ourselves as we continue to dive in and become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
