New Bible Study Resource Available
Pastor Eddie has compiled a new resource to help you learn How to Read & Study the Bible Like You Went to Seminary!
This booklet is designed to introduce you to the foundational principles for reading and studying the Bible, otherwise known as the process of Biblical Hermeneutics. Whether you’re a new believer or a seasoned ministry leader, this guide will help you acquire the tools needed to navigate scripture with intention.
Biblical Hermeneutics is the practice of interpreting Scripture correctly. By studying and implementing the techniques found within the pages, you will gain the essential tools you must have for understanding the Word of God accurately and applying it meaningfully to your life and ministry.
Free Copies of this new book are available in the Narthex!
