Women's Inductive Bible Study

About:

We are Protestant-Baptist Christians, that believes the Bible is inspired by God and is fully inerrant. We value reading the Bible in its entirety, but also studying verse, by verse - chapter by chapter to get a deeper understanding of the truths God has given in all of scripture by taking the time to study the passage in context and seeing how it shed light on the Gospel.

When we start a new book of the Bible, we encourage you to read through the whole book to get a big overview, then take time to look up the background in a study Bible or online: asking who, what, when, where, why questions about the book.

We take one chapter to study on our own throughout the week, going through three steps:

1. observation - What does it say? See what’s in the text without trying to insert meaning. Take note of repetition, question you have, look up definitions, find attributes of God, read through different bible translations etc.

2. Interpretation - What does it mean? Find cross references to let the Bible explain the Bible, rather than assuming meaning by what you think.

3. Application - How should it change me? Prayerfully reflect how understanding the truths in this passage should change you to be more like Jesus Christ.

It is the most fruitful when you take these three steps in your own personal study prior to group so you come prepared to discuss what the Lord taught you based off the chapter studied.
