From 2014:
As I was cleaning out some files today, I came across this that I had gotten during a Bible study at some point:
Inductive Bible Study Questions
1. What is the “Big Idea” (are there commands, promises, information about God’s character, attributes, actions?)
2. What am I supposed to get rom this “Big Idea” or theme?
Are there follow up questions I have about this that I need to explore in the text?
3. Would knowing anything about the culture help me to understand this passage better?
4. What is God telling me? What will I do about it?
5. How am I encouraged and strengthened?
6. Is there sin in my life for which confession and repentance is needed?
7. What can I model and/ or teach?
8. What can I share with others?
No attribution on this handout.. Could have been Nic, Tom, Mary, or any number of others with whom I have interacted in the last few years……But it’s a good tool. Just passing it along for your consideration before I goes back into the file.
