“But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” JAMES 1:22
STUDY PHILOSOPHY Every age level follows a book-by-book study plan at their own age-appropriate depth and pace. Each plan is carefully crafted to provide regular study of all types of biblical literature. For families that wish to explore together, a family discussion piece is provided for each session. You will find detailed study plans by age level in their respective sections ahead.
OUR PROMISE Explore the Bible is committed to helping your kids, students, and adults: Study all Scripture: Every book is the inspired Word of God. And not just the easy ones. Song of Songs is inspired. Obadiah is inspired. Revelation is inspired. Because every book matters, Explore the Bible digs into every book. Understand the text in its context: Every passage of Scripture has a context that illuminates its original intent. In order to have the most complete understanding of Scripture, we must understand the historical and cultural factors that influenced Scripture as it was written, as well as how it fits into Scripture as a whole. Develop a deeper knowledge of Scripture: In a culture grasping for any truth, it is more important we know God’s Truth than ever before. Explore the Bible is committed to helping Christians of all ages develop a deeper knowledge of the Bible, what it tells us about God, and what He is asking us to do. Discover the world of the Bible: Essential to our knowledge of Scripture is the reality that it actually happened. Explore the Bible presents archaeological evidence to illuminate the very real people, places, and events in the Bible. Apply scriptural truths every day: The Bible isn’t just something that happened, it is a living text that still speaks, inspires, and compels us today. That’s why Explore the Bible is committed to helping us both know and live the Word of God.
