Understanding Larger Scripture Sections
- To understand larger Bible sections, treat them like jigsaw puzzles, focusing on individual pieces first.
- Combine small pieces into mid-sized units, then connect those units to grasp the overall message.
Connecting Mid-Sized Units
- Write down main points of mid-sized units on paper to see how they connect.
- Don't give up; use pencil and paper to draw connections between units.
