Foundations and Versions
Which version of the Bible should you be reading, and does it matter? We walk through how we got the book that is in your hands, and why you can trust the one you are holding.

A practical, five-week guide to opening your Bible with confidence and reading it well.
Scripture you can understand on your own.
Many of us own a Bible we're not sure how to read. This five-week series takes the mystery out of it. Pastors Tim, Mark, and Kyle walked through where the Bible came from and which version to read, how the book is built, the simple methods that help a passage open up, and what to do when two verses seem to disagree.
The goal was never information alone. The final week asked what would change if we believed and lived what we read. The series gives you a way to open the Bible on your own, hear God in what you find there, and let his Word shape an ordinary week.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
