Lent & Easter

Making Sense of the Bible

The Bible is the foundation of our faith, yet many of us struggle with its complexities. Why do some passages inspire while others confuse or even trouble us? How do we interpret scripture faithfully in today’s world?

Explore these questions on a five-week journey unpacking these questions and more in Making Sense of the Bible. Based on Adam Hamilton’s insightful book, this series dives into the origins, meaning, and authority of scripture—helping us engage with the Bible in ways that deepen our faith and understanding.

Whether you’ve read the Bible cover to cover or are just beginning to explore its pages, this series will equip you to wrestle with scripture with both heart and mind. Come ready to ask questions, seek wisdom, and grow in faith! Scroll down for details about the all church Lenten book study.
