Many people want to read the Bible but aren’t sure where to start. Why are there so many translations? Should you follow a reading plan? What do you do when a passage doesn’t make sense?

In this practical message, we explore a simple framework for reading Scripture with confidence: Read personally. Learn communally. Use tools wisely. Together, we’ll discover how understanding context, asking good questions, and seeing how every passage connects to Jesus can transform Bible reading from a confusing obligation into a life-giving encounter with God.

Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this sermon will help you move beyond simply gaining information and learn how to hear God's voice through Scripture and be shaped by His Spirit.
