  2. Bible Study Techniques Do you find it difficult to study the Bible? Do you read, but the words seem to just sit on the page? If you study but can’t seem to apply God’s word to your everyday life in today’s world then perhaps this Bible study can help you.

  3. Chose a Book from the Bible • This method will allow one to study one entire book at a time. • Start with a small book such as 1 Peter or 1 John. • This method is great for beginners, however, it can be geared to any level of study. • Allow one to focus on specific book without “getting lost” in to much information. • Will allow one time to develop their own techniques.

  4. Start with Prayer • One of the most common reasons that Christians don’t study the Bible is based upon the complaint, “I don’t understand it.” • Before the start of each study session began by praying and asking God to open your spiritual understanding. • As you pray, realize that the words you are studying are inspired by God.

  5. 2 Timothy 3:16“All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. (NIV) Psalm 119:130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. (NIV)

  6. Read the Entire Book • Spend some time. Perhaps the next several days, reading through the entire book. • Do this more then once. • Look for themes that may be woven through the chapters. • Sometimes a general message may be prevalent. • The theme of the book of James is that of “Persevering through Trials”. • Take notes on ideas that jump out at you.

  7. Zoom In • Next, slow down. Read the book verse by verse. • This will help one to break the text and look for a deeper understanding. • Consulting a Bible dictionary can help one to better understand the different meaning of different words used throughout the text.

  8. Choose Your Tools • By continuing on this verse by verse study, there is no limit on the wealth and understanding that will come from your time spent in God’s word. • Choosing the right tools will aid you in your learning. • Bible Dictionary • Bible Study Guide

  9. Be a Doer of the Word at Your own Pace • Don’t just study God’s word for the sake of studying. Be sure to put the word into practice in your life. • Once you have finished the first book, choose another one and follow the same steps.

  10. Luke 11:28But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put in into practice. .

  11. When I look at the “Ace” in my deck of cards, it reminds me that there is but one God

  12. The “Deuce” tells me that the Bible is divided into two parts…… The Old Testament The New Testament

  13. When I see the “Trey” I think of the Trinity The Father The Son The Holy Ghost

  14. When I look at the “Four”, I think of the four great evangelists that preached the Gospel There were Mathew Mark Luke John

  15. When I see the “Five”, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps There were 10 Five were wise and saved Five were foolish and shut out

  16. When I look at the “Six”, I know that in six days, God made the great heaven and earth

  17. The “Seven” tells me on the seventh day he rested from his work and called it Holy

  18. When I see the “Eight” I think of the eight righteous persons God saved when he destroyed the earth There was Noah, His wife Their three sons And their wives

  19. When I see the “Nine”, I think of the lepers our Savior cleansed Nine of the ten didn’t even thank him

  20. Of course, when I see the “Ten” I always remember the 10 Commandants The 10 Commandants that God handed down to Moses on the tablet of stone

  21. When I see the “King”, I know that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty

  22. When I see the “Queen”, I think of the blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven

  23. And the “Jack” or “Nave” is the devil

  24. When I count the spots, on my deck of cards, I find 365 spots, the number of days in a year

  25. . There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year There are 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter There are 4 suits, the number of weeks in a month And, 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year

  26. . So you see Sir, my deck of cards serves me not only as a Bible, Almanac, but also as a Prayer Book Written in 1788 T. Texas Tyler
