We have given the teens some tips and tools to help them understand the Bible on their own. This week, as we are in the easter season, we will look at the death of Jesus for us!

4 things of what NOT to do when trying to understand the Bible
- Don’t look to Google for an answer - Google is not a mindless search engine - it has an agenda and i doesn't always agree with God's Word
- Don’t assume that something unexplained is inexplainable - The Bible was written in a different culture, in a different language, 2000 years ago. It was easy to understand for the people of that day, but it is harder for us now, but that doesn't mean it is inexplainable.
- Don’t allow confusion on a minor issue to cause a major crisis of faith
- Don’t be bothered that you can’t understand everything
- Start with Prayer - Ask God for help, understanding
- Check multiple translations - NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT (message paraphrase) - YouVersion - you might find it’s worded differently and it will help you
- Ask questions below as you read the - Website - Devotions
- Ask for help - From a leader, study bible, gotquestions.org, desiringgod.org
