My Three-Step Bible Study Method

1. Read and Meditate – I usually wrestle through four or five verses a day, letting them sink in and pondering what God is saying. I tend to go thru one book at a time.

2. Bring Others In – This means reading a commentary or listening to a sermon on the passage to see how others understand it.

3. Journal and Apply – I reflect on how this passage speaks to my daily life and what I can take away for today

This is the method that has worked for me. However, the goal of any time in Scripture isn’t just knowledge, it should be communion with God.
