Study the Bible Like a Pro.
I've created this page to encourage people to study the Bible and study deeply. You don't need to be a theologian, seminary student, or academic to read and study the Bible.
I will be posting once a week study questions and suggestions for each book of the Bible. Your welcome to follow along or simply read through as you desire. The questions are meant to direct you to aspects of the Bible that will help you remember what you are reading and to discover connections that bind the Bible together.
What you may need:
A Study Bible
A Bible Study Program or App. (Links Comming soon)
A concordance (often there will be one in the back of your study Bible)
Strongs Concordance (if your really keen. It will give you greek and hebrew definitions)
Some time
Prayer
pen and paper for taking notes.
