Lesson 1: What Is Inductive Bible Study?
This lesson introduces you to the Inductive Bible Study method—the foundational approach you’ll use throughout this course. It emphasizes learning directly from Scripture without relying on others' interpretations, empowering you to engage with God’s Word personally and confidently.
Lesson 2: Step 1 – Observation: What Does the Text Say?
Observation is the first and most essential step of the Inductive Bible Study method. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to slow down and carefully examine a passage of Scripture, looking at what is actually there without jumping to conclusions. Observation builds a strong foundation for correct interpretation and powerful application.
Lesson 3: Step 2 – Interpretation: What Does It Mean?
Now that you've mastered observation, it’s time to move to the next step of the Inductive Bible Study method—Interpretation. In this lesson, we’ll learn how to understand the meaning of a passage as the original author intended, rooted in its context and guided by sound biblical principles. The goal is not to ask, “What does this mean to me?” but rather, “What did God mean when He inspired this?”
Lesson 4: Step 3 – Application: How Does It Apply to Me?
You’ve learned how to observe what the text says and how to interpret what it means. But Bible study doesn’t end with knowledge—it must lead to transformation. This lesson focuses on the most life-changing part of the Inductive Bible Study method: Application.
We’ll explore how to apply God’s Word faithfully and personally in ways that change your thoughts, actions, habits, relationships, and worldview. Application brings the Word to life—not just in your head, but in your heart and hands.
Lesson 5: Types of Inductive Bible Studies
Now that you’ve learned the steps of Inductive Bible Study—Observation, Interpretation, and Application—you’re ready to explore how flexible and powerful this method can be. The Bible is a rich and diverse book with many genres, stories, people, and themes. This lesson introduces you to various types of inductive Bible studies you can use, depending on your goals and what God is teaching you.
Lesson 6: How to Study a Whole Book of the Bible
Studying an entire book of the Bible may seem daunting at first, but it’s one of the most rewarding and transformative ways to understand God’s Word. Each book of the Bible was written with a purpose, flow, and message. Learning how to study a whole book allows you to grasp its big picture, main themes, and author’s intent, and helps you connect chapters and verses in context. This lesson will guide you step-by-step through how to use the inductive method to study an entire book, from overview to application.
Lesson 7: How to Study a Whole Chapter of the Bible
Once you’ve grasped how to study an entire book, narrowing your focus to a single chapter allows for detailed, prayerful engagement with the Scriptures. Chapters often serve as key building blocks of a book’s message and carry distinct teachings, narratives, or transitions. This lesson teaches you how to apply the Inductive Bible Study method to a single chapter—drawing out spiritual depth, understanding key messages, and applying them practically to life.
Lesson 8: How to Study a Fragment or Short Text of the Bible
God often speaks powerfully through short passages of Scripture. While studying whole books and chapters provides context, small passages—or fragments—allow us to slow down, meditate deeply, and experience transformation through even a few verses. In this lesson, you will learn how to apply the inductive method to small texts such as a few verses or even a single verse. This method helps you savor the Word of God and uncover treasures hidden in compact portions of Scripture.
Lesson 9: How to Do a Word Study
Words are the building blocks of Scripture, and understanding their original meaning can unlock profound insights. In this lesson, we will learn how to conduct a word study—a powerful tool for diving deeper into Scripture. By examining the meaning, usage, and context of key biblical words, you can discover rich layers of truth and clarity. This lesson will teach you how to apply the inductive approach to studying individual words, helping you enhance your understanding of God’s Word and apply it more deeply to your life.
Lesson 10: How to Study a Topic or Theme
Studying the Bible is not just about analyzing individual verses or words; it's also about understanding the bigger picture—the overarching themes and topics that shape the biblical narrative. In this lesson, we’ll explore how to study a topic or theme in the Bible using the inductive method. You’ll learn how to trace a theme throughout Scripture, understand its significance in different contexts, and apply it to your life today. Whether it's the theme of salvation, God's love, or the nature of sin, thematic studies can bring rich insights into your relationship with God.
Lesson 11: How to Study a Bible Character
The Bible is filled with real people—flawed, faithful, broken, brave—who encountered God and became part of His story. Studying biblical characters can help us see our own lives in light of Scripture, understand God’s ways, and learn valuable spiritual lessons. This lesson teaches you how to study Bible characters inductively, analyzing their background, choices, growth, and how God interacted with them.
Lesson 12: How to Study a Bible Story
The Bible is full of captivating stories—real historical events that reveal God's heart, truth, and ways. Whether it's Noah and the ark, Jesus calming the storm, or the Good Samaritan, these stories are more than narratives—they're living messages meant to shape our faith. In this lesson, you will learn how to use the inductive Bible study method to engage with Bible stories in a way that is faithful, insightful, and deeply transformative.
Lesson 13: How to Study a Bible Parable
Parables are short, simple stories that Jesus used to teach profound spiritual truths in relatable ways. While easy to read, parables require careful study to uncover their deeper meaning. In this lesson, you will learn how to use the inductive Bible study method to interpret parables faithfully—understanding the context, identifying key symbols, and applying the message to your life.
Lesson 14: How to Study a Bible Psalm
The Psalms are the heart-cries of God's people across generations—full of emotion, raw honesty, worship, lament, and divine truth. They teach us how to pray, how to worship, and how to bring our deepest struggles and joys before God. In this lesson, we will explore how to study the Psalms using the inductive Bible study method, with both reverence and practical insight.
Lesson 15: Creating a Bible Study Routine
Many Christians start Bible study with excitement but struggle to stay consistent. In this lesson, we move from method to lifestyle. The goal is to help you create a sustainable, life-giving Bible study routine that fits your season of life, strengthens your walk with God, and equips you to bear spiritual fruit.
You don’t need to be perfect—just persistent and purposeful. A strong routine transforms Bible study from a duty into a delight.
