How to Read Poetry in the Bible

We're blessed to hear from our Campus Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a new message in our sermon series about how to understand the different sections of the Bible, called "Binge Reading The Bible". This message invites us to rediscover how the wisdom books of the Bible are meant to be read - not as step-by-step instructions for controlling life, but as poetic invitations into deeper trust with God. By exploring Proverbs 3:5–6 alongside books like Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, Psalms, and Song of Songs, this message offers clarity for anyone who has tried to do the “right things” and still felt confused, disappointed, or unsure of what comes next. This message helps us slow down, rethink familiar verses, and learn how wisdom shapes our posture, not just our decisions, offering hope, direction, and a renewed way of leaning on God in every season of life.
