When the Bible Tells a Story, What Is God Really Saying?

The Bible is filled with stories—but are we reading them the way God intended? In this two-part episode of Read It Right, we explore how to study biblical narratives by looking beyond the characters and discovering the God who is at work through every story.

Learn how to distinguish between what Scripture describes and what it prescribes, how to avoid turning Bible stories into simple moral lessons, and how to recognize God's faithfulness throughout the pages of Scripture.

Through practical tools, guided study, and hands-on practice, you'll learn how to read biblical narratives with confidence, context, and Christ at the center.

Why do sincere Christians come to different conclusions about the same passage of Scripture?

In this first episode of the Read It Right series, we explore how literary genre, historical context, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit work together to help us read the Bible the way God intended. Learn practical tools that will transform the way you study God's Word.

In this episode, we explore the vital difference between knowing the Bible and actually following Jesus. While Scripture is essential, discipleship goes beyond information into transformation, obedience, prayer, and everyday life with Christ. We ask what it means to truly be formed by the Word—not just informed by it.

This episode is a continuation of last week's conversation about asking questions. Questions are essential for spiritual growth and God is big enough to handle them.

For a lot of Christians, the moment they begin asking difficult questions, they feel guilty. They worry that questions are evidence of weak faith. They worry that if they ask the wrong thing, they'll somehow offend God.

But is that true?

This week is our final week in the Jonah series where we explore the Canonical Method. For those who do not know the term Canonical simply means the collection of the books of the Bible that we currently have. These are the accepted works that are considered authoritative scripture. 

In this series we are looking at the book of Jonah through the lenses of 5 different Bible Study methods. Today we are looking through the Historical-Grammatical Method.

This week in our Johan series we are exploring the SOAP Bible study Method.

This week we are looking at Jonah again. This time we are using the Literary-Theological Method. We don't just ask what is the story saying or what's the lesson. We are asking "Why is it written like this?"

We are embarking on a 5 episode series where we will use the Book of Jonah to learn 5 different Bible study methods. Today's episode is the inductive method.
