Welcome! We are so excited to start opening our Bibles with you for the next seven weeks as we study together! We can’t wait to see how God speaks to you through this study and helps you to fall even more in love with Him and His Word.
Here’s how this will work
Each week, you’ll come here and watch the Open Your Bible video with Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams. They invite you into study with them and offer new insight into God’s Word. Each video will last about 10 minutes (give or take a few). Once you watch the video, we have some questions for you to answer in your group or in the comments section of the post. We want this to be available to those who are studying together and those going solo. Some of the questions ask you to get to know your fellow Bible study participants and we hope the interactions you have will be both challenging and encouraging. Each week at the end of the video, Raechel and Amanda will let you know the homework assignment for the next week. You can do the homework in the Open Your Bible study book. We highly recommend you getting a copy for this study, since that is where most of the studying will take place! You can get a copy by clicking here. That’s it! The study will be seven weeks long (including this little introduction week).
If you can’t participate right now, or if you miss a week, don’t worry. We will leave these posts up for you to do when you’re ready! You can find all the older ones using our Online Bible Studies tab at the top of the blog. Just click on it and then the Open Your Bible study.
A note about the videos
Open Your Bible has optional video downloads available for purchase online (for group or individual use). These videos are not the same as the free videos available here on the blog. The videos for purchase are more like teaching videos and dive deeper into the topic of each session. They are the videos that go with the group time in the Bible study book. We recommend them if you want to dive deeper into Raechel and Amanda’s teaching on Scripture.
OK, let’s get started!
Questions to answer in the comments:
- What is your name?
- Where do you live?
- What drew you to this study?
- Coffee or Tea?
Before next week, complete Week 1: Open Your Bible in the Bible study book. We’ll meet back here next Thursday to discuss!
