How to Study the Bible (CM1)
The Bible is God’s own Word to us – evidence that God loves us and wants us to know Him and live joyfully in His will. Yet too often people are intimidated or confused about how to read and study God’s Word. In this class we will examine several strategies for effective Bible study, with a practical approach to using study aids effectively and learning to apply the truths and principles of Scripture to our lives.
