F O R S T U DYING TH E BIBLE
by Mary Margaret Collingsworth
The Bible can be pretty intimidating. It’s filled with big words, parables, and measurements that can be hard to understand. And sometimes all those things keep us from really digging into Scripture. Many of us have participated in Bible studies but have never taken the step of learning how to read and study the Bible. This year, I’ve been reading through the Bible chronologically, and it’s been one of the richest seasons in Bible study I’ve ever had. As I read, I’m watching everything unfold as one huge story, which all points to Jesus. It’s simply beautiful.
HERE ARE NINE THINGS TO CONSIDER AS YOU STUDY THE BIBLE:
1
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING INTO.
3
CHOOSE A PLAN.
People will often study Scripture asking the question, “What does this passage mean to me?” when the better question would be, “What does this passage mean?” The interpretation of the Bible isn’t up to us and our best guess as to what it might mean or could mean; God inspired it with a specific interpretation, and our goal should be discerning what that is.
For those of you who like some structure, there are a ton of resources available! Here are some great places to start: One Year Bible, SheReadsTruth, YouVersion (smartphone app), Read the Bible for Life, and Reading God’s Story. These plans will walk you through the Bible and can be a great way to start or enhance your journey of studying Scripture.
2
It can be easy to just pick out a verse that sounds good to you, but to really understand it, you should read the context (the surrounding chapters/verses). Taking the time to find out who the author is, who the book was written to, and why it was written can clear up a lot of questions. A study Bible or commentary can be a great resource as well.
PRAY BEFORE YOU STUDY.
This may seem obvious or redundant, but it’s critical. When we approach Scripture, it should be with humility and an attitude to receive and learn. Ask God to reveal Himself to you through His Word. We are given the Holy Spirit as a guide (Acts 2) as we interpret the Word.
4
READ THE PASSAGE IN CONTEXT.
41
5
INTERPRET SCRIPTURE BY SCRIPTURE.
Hang with me on this one. In his book, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith, R.C. Sproul writes, “We must not set one passage of Scripture against another passage. Each text must be understood not only in light of its immediate context, but also in light of the context of the whole of Scripture.” When you can look at Scripture as one big story, all inspired by God, you will start to see it more clearly.
6
APPROACH THE BIBLE WITH A TEACHABLE SPIRIT.
If I’ve learned anything over the last few years, it’s how much I don’t know. There are a lot of things about the Bible that we have to wrestle over. We’re grappling with concepts and truths about theology and doctrine, and it’s hard. Sometimes, we’re just trying to understand a basic truth. It’s important to dig and ask questions, but remember that we can’t (with our finite minds) completely understand it all. Continue to ask hard questions, and don’t give up!
7
ALLOW GOD TO SPEAK.
So often, we approach the Bible with a “what’s in it for me?” attitude, and there are times that we just need to read to understand. Don’t just read to check it off a list, but read to understand and learn. The Word begins to come alive as you start to soak it in! As you spend time in the Word daily, you allow God to speak to you through His Word.
8
TAKE IT SLOW AND ASK QUESTIONS.
You’re not going to understand it all in one day! If you’re a verse-by-verse person, study it that way. Don’t be afraid to ask questions—it’s a huge part of the learning process! The more you read and study, the more the Bible will come alive in your life.
9
BE A STUDENT OF THE WORD.
Be in the Bible daily. Make sure you have people in your life who are at least a little bit ahead of you in their spiritual journey. Ask someone to disciple you and to challenge you as you study the Bible.
As you dig deep into God’s Word, you will undoubtedly fall more in love with Jesus. My prayer for you is that you develop a love for Scripture that’s unquenchable. He truly does satisfy our souls (Psalm 107:9). Mary Margaret Collingsworth serves as the Girls Ministry Specialist at LifeWay Christian Resources.

Meeting a new group of people for the first time can be intimidating. Think about your first day of school, your first date, or your first day on a new job. As you start a new small group, remember both first timers and seasoned attendees are in your group, and find ways to help them all connect.
1. CONNECTING
3 TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST SMALL GROUP MEETING by Michelle Hicks
52
Building relationships is foundational to a great group. This begins from the first invitation to join the study and should continue throughout the duration of the small group. Find ways to have fun and get people talking. You may provide food, play a game, or pitch out some conversation starters. Do whatever it takes to get people talking and connecting, not just at the first meeting, but every time they meet. People need to sense that they are welcome and belong to the group. Identify key questions to discuss in that first meeting that help them see connections such as: What drew you to this study? What do you hope to gain from this Bible study? Remind them of the purpose of the study on the first meeting and keep that purpose at the forefront throughout the study. Keeping a common goal and purpose will help maintain connectedness.
2. PREPARING Spend the necessary time in prayer and preparation before the group meeting. Talk things over with any co-leaders and map out the plan of how the group session will flow. Set the pattern in that first group meeting where discussion and study keep moving and go deeper. You want the group to know that there is always more in Scripture and always more to learn from and about one another.
Part of being prepared is starting and dismissing on time. This implies that you know their time is valuable and you will honor that. Group members will respect those boundaries and be grateful for you as the leader. When people want to stay connected with one another, they will be on time and not want to miss the precious time they have together.
3. CLARIFYING AND EXPLAINING THE PURPOSE Women want to know what they are getting into and the commitment they are making. They will evaluate if it is worth their time and how they will benefit from attending. It is good to share the plan for the coming weeks, the biblical foundation of the study, and value statements of what you hope the group gains from their time together. Help your group understand the bigger purpose of meeting together. They are cultivating spiritual growth. Every person in the group is on a spiritual journey and needs the foundation and growth that only comes through God’s Word, the Bible. They will celebrate life together— birthdays, anniversaries, babies, milestones of all kinds—but more often, they will celebrate their salvation and spiritual growth as they walk in obedience to Jesus and in understanding of Scripture. Although meeting a new group for the first time can be challenging, the benefits of walking through a season of life with other believers far outweigh the fears. Lives that are transformed by the gospel are exciting to watch and encourage. Take time to shepherd and connect with your group from that very first meeting and watch as they live out their faith. Michelle Hicks is the Manager of Short-Term Bible Studies for the Adult Ministry Publishing team at LifeWay Christian Resources. This piece was first posted on LifeWayWomen.com on August 30, 2016.

How We Research Bible Studies
by Elizabeth Hyndman
Part of my day-to-day job as an editor is fact-checking. If an author says something, we try our best to make sure it is true. We verify everything we can to make sure our resources are trustworthy and so we can easily find the information when someone asks. I’ve spent a full day verifying the origin of a baseball player’s nickname and half a day overlaying modern and historical maps to try to find Mount Moriah’s location. I’m a bit of a nerd (okay, a big nerd) and love gathering information of all kinds. My team knows this about me, and so when Priscilla Shirer wanted some research help with The Armor of God a couple of years ago, they nominated me to lend a hand. I jumped at the chance to find out everything I could about first century Roman armor. Seriously. I told y’all I’m a nerd.
1. Start with the text. For Bible study, we always start with Scripture. I read the passage I’m researching and any relevant context. I always open up a physical Bible or view the whole chapter on a Bible website so that I can get a feel for the surrounding verses. Context can give you clues about the audience, the writer, the culture at the time, etc.
We thought you might like a little peek behind the curtain of how we research here at LifeWay Women. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but this is a condensed version of my method.
2. Go to commentaries, dictionaries, or a study Bible. This doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. Study Bibles are a great resource—they often give historical and cultural context in the notes. Some commentaries are available for free online at websites like BibleGateway.com and BlueLetterBible.com. BlueLetterBible.com is one of my favorite resources. I don’t know the biblical languages, but Blue Letter Bible has an easy search tool to help you find the word in Hebrew or Greek, and then use several other tools to find definitions, other uses of the word, pronunciation, etc. WORDSearch is another great tool where you can get several resources for free just by signing up, or you can purchase additional resources to have on hand wherever you have the internet. It’s like a traveling library!
64
3. Ask questions. As you’re reading, jot down questions that come to mind while you are reading the text and the commentaries. For The Armor of God, I would ask things like, “What did the belt look like?” “Why did Paul choose that particular sword to represent the Word of God?” Take on a posture of curiosity.
5. Go to Wikipedia. I know this seems strange because Wikipedia cannot be trusted. It’s true. We don’t quote Wikipedia because as a crowd-sourced encyclopedia, it isn’t error free. However, if you want to get your mind around something historical, Wikipedia articles are a great place to start. Not only can you get a decent grasp on the topic by looking at Wikipedia, you can also scroll down to find your BFF, the footnotes. Those footnotes can usually be trusted, and you can then get the information straight from the source.
6. Head to the library. This is my favorite part. If your town has a university, see if you can access their library. You may not be able to check out the books, but you might be able to enter without a university ID and sit with the books you need, taking notes or even scanning pages. Your local city library may also have many resources or the means to order them for you. For commentaries, check with your pastor! A lot of pastors have great libraries filled with Bible dictionaries and commentaries they trust. You can also check Google Books. They have many public domain books in full online. Another trick of the trade: If you’re just trying to verify a quote, check Amazon’s preview feature. You can often search for specific words and preview the page.
4. Pay attention to the footnotes. Footnotes are the researcher’s best friend. Typically, you’ll start to notice that a lot of commentaries are quoting the same people and the same books. You’ll want to get your hands on those books!
Every Bible study needs research. You want to make sure whatever you are writing or saying is true, especially when talking about the living and active Word of God. Research can be time consuming, but what you learn can give you valuable insight into the message of Scripture. Pretty soon you’ll be swapping friendship bracelets with the footnotes and breathing deeply whenever you enter a library.

Since women are diverse and have different Bible study needs, an effective women’s ministry should offer plenty of variety in content, leadership style, and schedule. Consider providing diversity in levels of Bible study and teachers, varying meeting times and days, planning for variety in length, and selecting a balanced mix of subject matter.

LI STE N I N! {MARKED} is a podcast for women who are marked by a hunger for God’s Word,
a longing to impact culture, and a desire to discover and live out God’s calling in their lives. In each episode, we interview someone who is marked with that hunger, longing, and desire, and encourage listeners to be marked as well. LifeWayWomen.com/Podcast
