Let’s Get Oriented to the Map

Most people own a Bible, but many feel intimidated by it. It can seem confusing, overwhelming, or disconnected—as if it’s a giant puzzle without the picture on the box. Because of that, many people leave Scripture unopened and spiritually drift without realizing it.

But the Bible was never meant to confuse us or collect dust. God gave us His Word to guide us, equip us, and point us to Jesus. The problem isn’t that the Bible is irrelevant—it’s that many of us have never learned how to navigate it. So let’s step back, see the big picture, and become more confident engaging the roadmap God has given us for life!

THE BIG IDEA: The Bible doesn’t just give information—it gives direction.
