Print and Use Bible study guides |
Here's something new on the Web -- basic Bible
studies you can print out and share with your neighbours and friends.
Print out the studies as they are. Or modify them by copying and pasting them
into your word processor.
Give each person in the study a Bible, a pencil, and a copy of the printout.
If you have a book with relevant illustrations (such as illustrations of
beasts for a study on Daniel 7), take it with you to the study.
Have a piece of paper with you on which you can draw timelines of
prophecies, etc.
Open the Bible
Read aloud the first question in the study. Have each person open their Bible
and have one person read the verse which answers the question.
Then each person can write their answer in the space after each question.
(Write in your own answers to set the example.)
Most studies can be printed on one sheet of paper, although you may need to
adjust the font size on your computer.
Studies on line
The studies currently on line are:

This will remind you which studies you have given to each person.
(Note that the order of this list may change as other studies are added.)
These studies are deliberately not numbered so that you can give them to people
in any order. However, they are listed here in an order suitable for most
situations.
You will not need to give all studies to all people. And you may want to
give extra studies to some people on some subjests.
Answering questions
When anyone asks you a question during a study, don't give your opinion.
Turn to a Bible verse that answers the question and read it.
If you do not know the answer, say you will find out for them and that you
will give them the answer at next week's study.
The dining table is usually the best place in a house to do such studies.
Try to have the studies at the same time each week.
Always ask for a decision
Near the end of each study, ask for a decision. For example, after a study
on Heaven, you could ask, "You want to be there, don't you Susan?"
This prepares people to make the difficult decisions like keeping the Sabbath or
being baptised.
Advantages over envelopes
The studies on this website have advantages over those you buy in envelopes at
Adventist Book Centers.
Permission to use
These studies are copyright in most countries of the world. However, the author
gives permission for them to be reproduced for personal use, local church
use, or to be included in courses on how to give Bible studies. These studies
may also be translated to go on foreign language websites. The studies may be

to the internet.
If you have any suggestions for this Bible study program, please email

Print out a copy of this page whenever you start giving
studies to a new individual or group. When you give a study,
write the date of the study beside the topic on this list.
Please let your church pastor and your church evangelism leader know this
resource is available.
Dedicated to Pastor Fred Taylor
These studies are dedicated to Pastor Fred Taylor,
the master of kitchen table evangelism.
Every year he quietly baptised more people in Greater Sydney Conference that
anyone else. Singlehandly, he would baptise more than public
evangelism progams. These studies and the
techniques given above are based on his successful methods.
