bible studies

the book of proverbs

Above the Wildflowers Ministries offers weekly Bible Study sessions on the Book of Proverbs. Our Bible Study sessions are in-depth in which we incorporate the understanding of the Hebrew language for the text, the historical context and the significant meanings of the proverbs. 

We follow the hermeneutics approach where we examine carefully and methodically, the text verse by verse and dissect it's theme(s) and meaning. We learn the (1) historical and cultural context, (2) the literary text and genre, (3) identify our observations through highlighting/marking and (4) draw application from the text to our personal lives. In addition, we learn the definitions of words in it's context and read complimentary scriptures from other books in the bible that affirm the intended verses.

We always pray before engaging in the text for the Holy Spirit to illuminate His word for us.
