I don’t know about you, sister, but I’ve found studying the Bible to be pretty stinkin’ hard on my own. With the pandemic in full swing, finding a community Bible study is about as rare as finding a good haircut back in the 80s. But, that doesn’t mean our faith can take a back seat. Jesus is essential.
So, here are three resources for better Bible study. The best part is you can have them in hand this week without leaving your house.
1. Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin is an excellent starting point. She teaches a practical and easy-to-understand approach for digging deeply into God’s Word. With an emphasis on context, cross-references, and seeing the “bigger picture” of God’s redemptive plan, Jen demystifies Scripture in a whole new way. You can purchase a copy on Amazon.
2. John MacArthur’s Bible studies are the perfect companion to whatever book of the Bible you choose to read. The study guides include background info, the text itself, commentary on nearly every verse, a “going deeper” cross reference section, and questions to help you process what you’re reading. Grab a paperback or eBook copy online.
3. Using Jen Wilkin’s book as a springboard, I developed the “P.R.A.I.S.E. Bible Study Method”: Pray, Research, Absorb, Interpret, Step Out, and Engage. I have a handy-dandy worksheet available for FREE so you can study Scripture with ease. Simply sign up for my email list, and you will get a copy sent straight to your inbox today.
Say goodbye to your Scripture struggle and hello to a heart and mind in-tune with God’s Word.
