Listen "Episode 5 - Context is King"
Episode Synopsis
When we study God’s Word, context isn’t optional—it’s essential. As we say in Bible Study, Context is King. In this episode, we explore why placing each book of the Bible in its historical and spiritual context matters deeply. Understanding the original audience, setting, author and purpose protects us from misinterpretation and helps us grasp the true meaning behind the text. Whether you're reading the prophets or the epistles, context will open your eyes to the truth, richness and depth of Scripture. Let’s learn how to study the Bible with clarity, wisdom, and confidence.HOMEWORK:WHO: Who are the characters in the story? Who wrote the book?WHAT: What is happening in the story?
