Have you ever read a Bible passage and wondered, “How was I supposed to understand that?” Sometimes the clue is closer than you think. In Day 5 of Word Feast, we’ll learn to follow the connections the biblical writers leave for us and discover what happens when we keep reading.

Discover how the Bible communicates through metaphors, imagery, poetry, prophecy, parables and symbolic language. Discover why recognising how Scripture speaks can completely change how you understand what it says, and help you avoid interpretations the biblical writers never intended. This is a foundational session that will reshape the way you approach everything from Genesis to Revelation.

Learn how to read Scripture as it was written by paying attention to context, grammar, pronouns, tenses, audience, historical setting and the writer’s intention. We will discover why a text cannot mean today what it could never have meant to its original audience, and how careful interpretation helps us see Christ more clearly and apply Scripture faithfully.

What exactly is the Bible? How did it come together? Who wrote it? What does it mean that Scripture is "God-breathed"? And why does understanding these things completely change the way we read it?
