But if we do not read and interpret the Bible correctly, we will struggle to grow in our relationship with our Creator. We must read the Scriptures in context and according to the rules of genre lest we mistake what God has said. And then we must obey what God has said. To understand our part in God's story, we must be immersed in it--so hear God's Word! This 6-session study in The Gospel Project series will help group members know how to hear God's voice through regular study and reading of the Bible.Session titles: Why We Read the BibleWhile You Read the BibleWhere You Read the BibleHow You Read the Old Testament How You Read the New TestamentWhat To Do After Reading the BibleFeatures:"Voices" of church fathers Individual study with emphasis in discipleshipGroup leader helpsApplication of key theological tenetsBiblically rooted and gospel-centered contentBenefits: Develop skills for interpreting ScriptureAcquire a deeper understanding of biblical context and its importanceUnderstand the significance of obedienceGain a more informed understanding of the distinctions between the Old and New TestamentUse historical background provided to create greater context for spiritual growthAuthor:George Guthrie is the Benjamin W.
