Bible Reading

READING WITH OTHERS

 Use this simple method to study and discuss a Bible passage with a friend or in a small group.

1. Ask God to speak to you.

2. Read the passage out loud.

3. Draw these icons on the left side of your paper.
​
4. Take 5-10 min to silently reread the passage. Jot thoughts next to each icon.
Picture
LIGHT BULB
What jumped out to you from this passage?

QUESTION
What you would like to ask the group about this passage?
​

ARROW
How does this passage connect with your life?
​
5. Discuss all three icon sections.
  • Share your observations together.
  • ​Ask your questions to the whole group (not just to the leader), trying to find answers using ONLY this passage. Unanswered questions are ok!
  • Share how this passage relates to your life.
​
6. Pray about what you learned. You can pray alone, in pairs, or as a group.
