I enjoyed this lesson on the basis of praying not just with your spouse, group of friends, and your whole church. But also picking out other nations on your world map and praying for them. Not just focusing on who is in arms reach or in your circle. Then also praying for the unreached groups of people. That they will also receive and hear the…

Wed, 27 May 2026 01:19:03 -0400

In this lesson I like the comparison of preparation for revival to the task of a farmer. A farmer can sit around and pray for a good harvest, but if he does not prepare the field, plant the seed, and water the crop, it will not come. Equally as foolish is the farmer who thinks because he does his part in these tasks that harvest is assured.…

I didn’t know until this lesson that there two different times the Lords prayer or Model prayer was recorded. One Matthew 6:9-13 which is when Jesus taught at the Sermon on the mount. Also Luke 11:2-4 this was two and a half years later when the disciples came to Jesus asking Him to teach them to pray. During this interim period, the…

This lesson was a great reminder that identifying hinderances to intercession is not enough, but we must also seek God to help us to eliminate them from our lives. To also remember that what seems to be unanswered prayer does not mean there are always hindrances in our lives. Sometimes its answered in a delay or differently from our…

Tue, 26 May 2026 17:51:58 -0400

In this lesson I learned how imperative it is that Gods glory be at the end of our intercession and for God to be glorified. Therefore, if we are to have as our primary goal the glorification of God and commit our whole soul being to the movement of intercessory prayer, God will manifest Himself. “Then you will call upon me and when you seek…

Tue, 26 May 2026 17:41:17 -0400

I learned a lot in this lesson, the importance of binding evil spirits before casting them out, also the principle of binding and loosing extends to more than casting out demons. You can bind the power of the enemy to work in your life, home, community, and church fellowship. The name of Jesus is the authority upon which we intercede. “And…

This lesson we really hit the head on Intercessory prayer, when you’re pleading and praying for others. In this lesson one cool thing is the pointing to Jesus as our biggest intercessor for us. He prayed for those that were sick and possessed by demons. He prayed for his disciples. He now prays for us as our intercessor in heaven.

Sun, 24 May 2026 15:56:22 -0400

In this lesson we go over the different kinds of prayer and the importance of exercising all kinds of prayers. Also different intensity levels of prayer. From asking, seeking and knocking. Asking is the first level, seeking is a deeper level of prayer where you’re seeking an answer until it finally comes, then knocking also being an even…

Sat, 23 May 2026 18:46:02 -0400

In this lesson I learned how much Scripture in Genesis points to Joseph as a type that is similar to Jesus. Using typological Bible study, we can clearly see the many connections God placed throughout His Word from beginning to end. Joseph was rejected by his brothers, betrayed, suffered even though he was innocent, and later became the one…

Sat, 23 May 2026 18:39:28 -0400

In lesson 20 I learned prophecy means to speak forth. Bible prophecy includes three basic kinds of speaking forth. A message of inspiration from God, prediction of future events in Gods eternal plan, and interpretation for man of the acts of God. There are different methods of prophecy and I learned how Old Testament prophecies point towards…

Sat, 23 May 2026 16:00:12 -0400

In this lesson we learn the Bible often uses parallelism, where ideas are arranged in related lines to deepen meaning. Synonymous parallelism repeats the same idea in different words to reinforce truth, such as when one line restates the thought of another. Antithetic parallelism contrasts two ideas, showing opposites like righteousness…

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:53:14 -0400

In this lesson we learn theological study of the Bible focuses on studying major doctrines and teachings about God, salvation, sin, faith, and other spiritual truths found throughout Scripture. This method helps connect biblical teachings into a complete understanding of Christian beliefs. It strengthens faith, deepens knowledge of God.

Cody posted an update: I learned in this lesson the biographical study can […]

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:46:13 -0400

I learned in this lesson the biographical study can be pretty interesting. You will learn their name and name meaning, their relatives, birth location and importance of said location or interesting facts of their birth, geographical setting, where this persons life occurs and their personal relationships. I did one on John the Baptist.

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:32:15 -0400

I learned the topical study method is a way of studying the Bible by choosing a specific topic and then finding all the Scriptures that relate to that subject. For example, a person may choose topics like faith, prayer, forgiveness, love, or salvation. After selecting the topic, you search throughout the Bible to see everything God’s Word…

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:21:46 -0400

What I learned about this lesson is word study is important it helps us understand the deeper meaning of Scripture and the intent behind specific words used in the Bible, especially if that word is repeated. Studying words in their original context can reveal truths we might overlook during casual reading. It strengthens Bible study,…

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:15:47 -0400

This lesson showed me how to create and summarize a proper verse study but also showed me the importance of reading and understand the verse in its context. Because you can take one sentence or statement out of a verse and completely misconstrue it and make it something else.

Sat, 23 May 2026 11:23:10 -0400

After learning the process of utilizing chapter studies, which is composed of paragraphs. This lesson dived into paragraphs. What I found interesting is the literary form of paragraphs. Which refers to how the passage is written. Some are poetic form like in Psalms, some are parables which are short stories illustrating a spiritual truth,…

Sat, 23 May 2026 11:10:30 -0400

What really helped me in this lesson was learning how to utilize a chapter study in a more organized and detailed way. Creating the chapter title, marking paragraph divisions, making a study chart, and building a chapter outline all helped me better understand the flow and meaning of Scripture. Before this, I would read chapters without…

Sat, 23 May 2026 11:03:23 -0400

One thing I really enjoyed was the use of the initial survey, the book study chart, and the book outline. The initial survey helps give a general understanding of the book before going deeper into the details. The book study chart helps organize important information like themes, key verses, and main events, which makes studying easier and…

Sat, 23 May 2026 10:54:30 -0400

Something I took from this lesson using the Devotional method. Not just studying and being a hearer of Gods words. But meditating on his word, God told Joshua that it was a key to success. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that…

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 20:27:48 -0500

A good point I read in this lesson is many books become outdated over time, like medical books when new treatments or better medicines are discovered. What was once considered the best method can change. But God’s Word is different. The Bible never becomes outdated because its truth is eternal and continues to apply to every generation and every situation.

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:59:53 -0500

I gained another helpful tool for understanding the Bible by outlining, marking, and charting passages while I study. These methods helped me slow down and notice important themes, key words, and connections in the text. Doing this made the meaning clearer to me and helped me understand the message of the passage better.

Cody posted an update: I have a new understanding that the Bible’s chronological […]

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:54:27 -0500

I have a new understanding that the Bible’s chronological history shows how God’s plan unfolds over time, starting with creation, moving through Israel’s history, and leading to the life of Jesus and the early church. Understanding the timeline helps me see how different events and books connect and reveal God’s purpose throughout history.

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:12:41 -0500

This lesson showed me how truly important it is to read a verse in its full context. We can’t just grab one sentence because that can twist its meaning. Like when people say the Bible says “there is no God,” but Psalm 14:1 actually says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Context can change everything.

Cody posted an update: In this lesson something that was reinforced unto me is […]

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:00:44 -0500

In this lesson something that was reinforced unto me is to use all the tools we have when trying to find a verse. Sometimes I only recall a few words, but a concordance or even technology can help me find it. Many times I even stumble upon another amazing verse when looking in my Bible or searching online.

Cody posted an update: One thing I really liked in the lesson was the […]

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 03:47:51 -0500

One thing I really liked in the lesson was the comparison between the physical and the spiritual. Just like in jobs, hobbies, and other aspects of life we start as beginners and grow with time and experience. “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (I Peter 2:2). That we are first called to be hungry…

Something I found pretty neat in Lesson 3 that the Auca Indians did not have words for scripture, writings, or book. They had a custom of carving identification marks on their property to show ownership. When the Bible was translated for them, they called it “God’s carving,” meaning it belonged to God and was marked as His.

Cody posted an update: One thing I really took from this lesson is the […]

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:06:05 -0500

One thing I really took from this lesson is the importance of praying for knowledge and understanding when I read God’s Word. I don’t just want to read it, I want to truly understand it and live it. “For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord…” (Ezra 7:10).

I like how you broke down the different types of parallelism and poetry. It really helps make sense of how intentional the writing is. The poetry books definitely make you slow down and think deeper. They challenge your mind but also speak straight to the heart.

This chapter is on Bible poetry. There are five books in the Old Testament that focus exclusively on poetry. Those books consist of, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and […]

I really liked how you pointed out the power of intercessory prayer, especially in small groups. There’s something different when believers pray together in unity. I also agree about staying in prayer even when we don’t feel like it.

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 01:57:42 -0500

What really impacted me is that God used around 40 different men over 1,500 years to write the Bible, and yet it all connects perfectly. Different backgrounds, different times, but one consistent message. That kind of unity isn’t random it shows one true Author behind it all: God. That’s powerful and honestly beautiful to me.
