Interpretation & Application Study of God's Word
For the study of the book of Hebrews, we will be doing some sweeping reviews doing multiple iterations, before we delve into the 3 phases we normally do. The bible study is a personal journey and based on our comfort level, walk with the Most High, we come to it differently. Therefore one size doesnt fit all, although we will try to follow some form of order for consistency. But the objective is to treat these as guidelines instead of becoming slave to the process.
Here then is how the prelimiary phase of the study of Hebrews will go, leading up to 9 weeks of overall study of the chapters, before deliving into the specific section study of observation, followed by interpretation and application.
