Bible Study Ideas Group studiesDigging Deep in God’s Word () Study plan available for both men and womenFiner Ground ()The Christ-Centered HomeBible MarkingChain reference system conducted by Kathy Pollard on the Come Fill Your Cup website and in the Christian Women Magazine.I usually take a day to do the chain reference and then go back through each verse in the following days to study each verse in depth. I use Hebrew/Greek text to find the original meanings of words, read the context, and, occasionally, use Biblically sound commentaries to aid my study.Book StudiesChoose a specific book of the Bible.Read through it several times.Outline it.Highlight the Promises, Attributes of Godhead, Commands, Warnings, Attributes of Christian people, etc in different colors. (I use colored pencils so that if I mess up, it can easily be erased)Study the author, the one it’s written to, the city in which it takes place, etc.SOAP study: (S: Write Scripture, O: Make Observations of verse, A: What’s the application?, P: Pray and Practice) You can incorporate this with a book study, choose a passage or use one verse at a time.Character Studies: Choose a character, study their life, faults, times of repentance, hometown, references to them in other books of the Bible, compare what they did to your life, etc…Word Studies: When studying a passage/topic, you might come across a word that is repeated continuously throughout. Study that word. E-sword/Strong’s makes it so easy to look up the original word, where else it is used in the Bible, and the different/root meanings.Listen to sermons. With the aid of technology these days one can find sermons on various apps, websites, etc. Use them. Listen while you walk, wash dishes, clean the house, while driving, while cutting grass, etc. Make the best use of your time. Some of my favorite places to look are PTP365, YouTube (for certain preachers and church archives), Podcast App, GBN, WVBS, etc.Do topical studies. Choose a topic that you want to know more about and study all the passages in the Bible that pertain to this topic. Read sound doctrinal books on the subject. Read blogs/articles by faithful members of the church about the subject. (I always keep a pad of paper close when I am studying so that if I see a verse or topic I want to explore, instead of taking a “rabbit trail” at that precise moment, I can use this list to work through on another day of study. See below.)***Remember to PLAN your study time each day. One tip is to plan out your week. Sit down on Sunday evening and decide when and what you want to study each day. If you plan ahead, then you will not waste 10 minutes of your allotted time trying to decide what you need to be working on. I’m a planner and this is so helpful and I study deeper and my study time is more meaningful because I have a plan and a purpose.
