This episode explores what it means to be a 'People of the Word' by examining Bible translations and interpretation tools.

What does it actually mean to be a "People of the Word"? In this message, we peel back the layers on the Bible to explore how we got our modern translations, how we can faithfully interpret what scripture is saying to us today, and—most importantly—the practical tools we can use to study it well. Whether you're a lifelong believer or just starting to open the pages, this message will equip you to approach God's Word with fresh confidence and clarity.
