Why does the New Testament feel confusing sometimes?

Because we often read the letters like random verses… when they were actually written as real messages to real people, in real situations.

In the final week of our “How to Read the Bible” series, we unpack how to read the New Testament letters the way they were meant to be read—so they actually make sense and transform your life.

In this message, you’ll learn:

• What the New Testament letters (epistles) actually are

• Why context changes everything when you read the Bible

• How to understand what was happening then before applying it now

• The big picture of every New Testament letter—from Romans to Jude

• Why reading a few verses at a time might be missing the point

Because our goal can’t be just to know Scripture, we have to understand what it means—and respond to what it says.

📖 Scriptures referenced:

Matthew 4:4 • Acts 1:8 • Matthew 28:19–20 • James 1:22 • Romans 1:16 • Philippians 4:4 • Revelation 21:3–5

🙌 Next Step:

This week, don’t just read a verse—read a whole letter.

Start with Philippians, Ephesians, or James.

Watch what changes when you see the full picture.
