Context Method of Study Guide
written by intentional filling founder bree blum
In most Westernized churches, congregants are taught the Word of God, but not necessarily taught how to read it for themselves. We are spoon-fed through Sunday morning sermons, Bible study books, and our daily devotionals.
Though those resources help to provide us with a taste of the Biblical narrative, we’re missing out on the soul-quenching satisfaction that can only be found in communing with God and learning His heart for His people through intimate personal Bible study.

Holy Week in Context
written by intentional filling founder bree blum
The Bible is a TOUGH subject! Reading the Bible often leads to more questions, especially when studying the account of Holy Week—the week leading up to Jesus’ death.
You might ask–what is an accurate timeline for Holy Week? It doesn’t seem as though everything lines up! Or why would the people receive Jesus with such celebration and then stand by as He was led to His crucifixion less than a week later?
If these questions have you nodding your head in agreement, then this study is for you!
