Episode 144: Reading the Bible in C.O.N.T.E.X.T.S. (Crowd)

Studying the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As believers in Jesus, we are told to love God with our mind, study to show ourselves approved workman, and dwell on the words of the Lord. But how exactly should we go about studying Scripture? In this new series, we are going to teach you how to study the Bible in C.O.N.T.E.X.T.S. (Crowd, Occasion, Name, Time, Echoes, Xplanation, Text, and Says to me). In this week’s episode, we specifically look at the importance of knowing the Crowd that each book was written to. By understanding the intended audience, we can better interpret what Scripture is saying, and what it isn’t saying. We hope that this series will equip you to study God’s Word in a new way this year.

Episode 146: Reading the Bible in C.O.N.T.E.X.T.S. (Name & Time)

This week, we are looking into the Name (author) and the Time (date) of the book of Philippians. As we continue to study the Bible in C.O.N.T.E.X.T.S., knowing who wrote a book of the Bible and when it was written helps us understand the message that the author was conveying. By knowing the background of the Apostle Paul and the situation that he was in when he penned the Epistle to the Philippians, we can gain an understanding of the things he says. We hope that this series is an encouragement to you and that you are implementing these study habits into your Bible Study.
