4. Decide If You Want to Do a Group or Solo Bible Study

Finally, take some time to decide whether you’d like to study by yourself or study alongside others.

What is your learning style?

Do you prefer learning through conversations with others?

Or do you prefer to think, contemplate, and learn in solitude?

Your learning style plays an important role in determining what online Bible study program is right for you.

By taking these tips into consideration, you can better determine what online Bible study program will be the best for you and your season of life.

Active Note-Taking

It’s vital to not just passively consume information, but actively take notes as you go.

Whether you use a pen and paper, or you prefer taking notes digitally, be sure to write down what you learn.

The habit of active notetaking reinforces what you learn and creates a log of information to return to as you continue deepening your understanding of the Bible.

Application to Your Life

As you engage with an online Bible study, it’s important to ask the Spirit of God to show you how to apply what you’re learning to your life.

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how you can begin living out what you’re learning today.

This practice helps to bridge the gap between simply learning information and applying it for transformation in your life.

Assessment and Reflection

Be sure to set aside time to review what you’ve learned.

This might look like reviewing your notes, reflecting on how you’ve applied the information during the week, or even teaching the material to someone else.

Reviewing your material and reflecting on it is a great way to reinforce what you’re learning during your online Bible study.

If you’re ready to take a deep dive into the study of God’s Word, check out our online course: Old Testament Orientation.

In this course, Dr. Ronn Johnson will discuss topics that are necessary for gaining a rudimentary understanding of the Bible (language, culture, canon, etc.), but he will also give special attention to those parts of the Old Testament where created divine beings play an integral role in the movement of the story of Scripture (cosmic geography, divine rebellions, sacred space, idolatry, monotheism, etc.). Along the way, you’ll receive an overview of every Old Testament book, giving you confidence as you prepare to read and study the New Testament.
