I love your post about the book of Esther. I am currently reading the book of Esther in my daily reading. I love the book. I especially love how, even though God is never mentioned, you can still see God all over the book. We find many “coincidences” that we know are from God. It shows me even when I don’t see God at work in my life, He is. He…

Although the Book of Esther never explicitly mentions God’s name, His guidance is evident throughout the story. Esther, a young Jewish woman, unexpectedly becomes queen of […]

@brandondillard Hi Brandon! I am glad you got something from my post. I do agree with you that when Scripture screams, it is where the Holy Spirit is trying to teach you something. For me, I believe a lot of times we try to push our own convictions onto other people when Scripture is silent on or doesn’t speak very loudly on. By not speaking… Read more

I always love learning about bible translations. I am coming from a KJV-only background. I am no longer KJV-only, but I still appreciate the KJV. I have memorized many verses from the KJV. The NLT is my current favorite translation. I know a far cry from the KJV. The NLT was the Bible that helped me get the desire to read and learn the…

Creative Bible Study Methods

Lesson 1

I enjoyed reading chapter 1. It was a basic introduction that wasn’t new to me. I have studied the Bible for over 10 years. However, it was […]

Hi Brandon! Great post. I am on lesson 2 and want to find out what someone is learning several lessons ahead of me. It sounds interesting, and I look forward to getting to where you are. I hope you have enjoyed the lessons so far. I like how you mention you can do a theological study on just one book and what it teaches about a doctrine, or…

This was a good reminder of things to do before reading Scripture. It is easy to just open the Bible and begin to read and not even think about what you are doing. This chapter urges the believer to slow down and approach Bible reading prayerfully and in a systematic manner. Not just opening up and reading a chapter here and a chapter there.…

Hello Katherine!

I also learned what the Old and New Testaments meant. I knew about them as well, but I didn’t know the word testament meant agreement. Therefore, teaching us that the Old Testament was the old Agreement and the New Testament was the new agreement. The new agreement is how we come to Christ today through His shed blood. Very…

By just reading the first chapter I’ve learned so much already. I’ve never really “studied” the Bible to learn its story, I’ve just always known that The Bible was a […]

This sounds like a very interesting class. I have always thought it was cool how the only thing in the garden that God saw as not good was that man was alone. This tells me man needs a help meet. However, I never saw how Eve saw that the tree was good. Showing how, when we make judgments independent of God, we end up going in the wrong…

Creative Bible Study Methods

Lesson 1

I enjoyed reading chapter 1. It was a basic introduction that wasn’t new to me. I have studied the Bible for over 10 years. However, it was a great reminder of how the Bible is unified now. It proves there must have been one author because, with 66 books, 40-plus authors, over 1,500 years, and not a…

Just wanted to drop in and say a quick hi! I am a new student just starting my studies here at OBI in the Christian Ministry Certificate program. I plan to continue on with my studies as far as I can go.
