Episode 122
Have you ever read a passage of Scripture and noticed a list of words that seem to go together but wondered why they were written that way?
In Romans 5:3–5, Paul connects suffering, perseverance, character, and hope. At first glance, they might look like four separate ideas. But what if the way he puts them together is just as important as the words themselves?
In this episode, we’re slowing down and taking a closer look at this passage to discover how the words connect, what develops from one to the next, and why paying attention to that connection can change the way we understand Scripture.
The Bible isn’t a collection of disconnected thoughts. Even the words we might be tempted to read past can help us see a bigger picture when we take the time to connect them.
Listen in and discover what you might be missing when you read Scripture one word at a time without stopping to connect the dots.
