One thing that really stood out to me in Exodus 1–18 was how quickly the Israelites forgot what God had already done for them. As I was reading, I kept thinking, we often remember […]

I can relate to what you said about slowing down in prayer. Sometimes I catch myself praying and moving on to the next thing instead of sitting still long enough to listen. One thing God has been teaching me lately is that prayer isn’t just about bringing Him my requests it’s about spending…

An Introduction to Prayer

This chapter helped me understand that prayer requires stillness so I can listen and communicate with God. Prayer is not just rambling about what I […]

I haven’t tried a biographical Bible study yet, but after reading what you shared, I think I want to. I like that you pointed out looking at both the strengths and weaknesses of the person because it reminds me that God doesn’t just use perfect people, He uses ordinary people who are willing to trust Him.…

Lesson 17 shows you how to do a biographical Bible study. I really enjoyed this one as I chose John the Baptist to do my study on. A biographical study is exactly what you […]

As I was reading, I kept thinking, we often remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember. Even after God rescued them, parted the Red Sea, made the bitter water sweet, and provided manna, they still…

His Word is living and active, and it never returns void. The real question is about our heart posture. Are we still listening for His voice, or have we allowed the voices of the world to become louder? I believe God is continually inviting us to trust Him, follow Him, and be led by His…

What really impacted me was how quickly sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey God. I use to focus mostly on the punishment, but this time I noticed that […]

That really stood out to me because it’s easy to focus on finding the “right” Bible verse, but without prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can miss what someone truly needs in that moment. God’s Word is living and active, and the Holy…

In this lesson, Chuck Smith cautions against turning biblical counseling into a mechanical, formulaic process. While searching Scripture for answers is important , simply listing […]

I use to focus mostly on the punishment, but this time I noticed that even after they sinned, God still pursued them. He called out, Where are you? not because He didn’t know where they were, but because He wanted them to come to Him.…

[…] https://onlinebibleinstitute.org/activity/p/83816/ Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:46:19 -0400 One thing that really stood out to me was Abraham’s faith. God asked him to leave everything familiar without telling him every detail of where he was going. That made me think about my own life. There have been times when God has called me to step out in faith, whether it was serving in youth ministry, leading Bible studies, or going back to…
