Instead of “how long will it take to read the Bible,” ask this instead. Why current events prove the Bible’s accuracy and how the Bible is the only guide you need to navigate what’s going on around youīut if you already believe the Bible is a true and worthy source of God’s words, keep on reading.Why you should trust the Bible and how science proves its validity.How the Bible can guide you through moments of struggle, disappointment, and sadness.INC Media recently held an online event answering the exact questions you’re probably thinking right now, including: If you’re in that stage where you’re not 100% convinced that learning about what the Bible says is worth your time, I suggest starting with understanding why we should believe and trust the Bible. What about you? Why do you want to study the Bible? Learning and understanding that is important to me. More importantly, the Bible reveals the purpose God has for our lives. Time after time, I’ve seen firsthand how God’s words continue to direct and guide my life.
And I regularly attend Bible studies in the Church Of Christ. I grew up attending children’s worship services and even sang in the choir. But more importantly, I’ve spent my life attending worship services twice a week.

Full disclosure, I work in Christian media. Maybe you’re thinking, the Bible was written thousands of years ago, so why is it still worth our time? For me, the answer is easy. So is there a right way to study the Bible, and how do you know the right way to start? Why is the Bible worth your time? It’s enough to send someone into analysis paralysis. The number of comments on each post is usually upwards of 20, while some receive over 100 comments. To be honest, I can see how it can get overwhelming for the one who posted.
#JESUS IN ME ONLINE BIBLE STUDY HOW TO#
With each post, there are hundreds of comments-suggestions of how to start, where to start, along with invitations to learn together. We didn’t have a printed Bible until Martin Luther and Gutenberg gave us print in the 16th century.Every day on Facebook, I see probably a dozen or so posts from people asking how they can start studying the Bible. Now we are a busy, mobile society using email and computers. But that hasn’t changed our need for connection to God. We still desperately need knowledge of God through Scripture – and Christian fellowship through communication. So for those who are unable to meet face-to-face weekly for 2 – 2.5 hours, we have designed an online Wesley class meeting – limited to about 12 persons, with freedom to ponder the questions and discuss the spiritual meanings.Įach week I will help you explore some of the deep spiritual issues that Julia and I thought and prayed about when we wrote the Disciple Manual.
I’ll lead you through the whole Bible week by week. I’ll help you focus on key questions for you to discuss with others in your group. Hopefully, together we’ll become even more devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. Bishop Richard Wilke, Author of DISCIPLE Bible Study “As a pastor in the early 1980s, I became aware how isolated and lonely people were becoming and how ignorant they were of the Bible. We started new adult Sunday School classes, but that only reached a few- and it was hard to find teachers. Then I remembered how John Wesley reached out to people with little class meetings – a handful of folks – many poorly educated, farmers and hard-working people – meeting in homes. They would gather like the early Christians in Acts 2:42 – “and devote themselves to the apostle’s teaching, to the breaking of bread, the fellowship.” The “apostle’s teaching” meant scripture study and the “koinonia” meant sharing life’s experiences together.
