Verse-by-Verse Bible Studies
These studies slow down and move through a passage one verse at a time. Each verse is explained in its setting, with other Scripture used whenever possible to help make the meaning clear and keep the teaching grounded in God’s Word.
They can be used for personal Bible study, family study, Bible study groups, Sunday school classes, church fellowships, or by anyone preparing to teach Scripture. You do not need special training to use them. Bring your Bible, read the passage carefully, and take the time to see what God has said.
