Here are the sessions on How to Study the Bible.  The First covers why we must study the Bible and study it rightly.  The Second begins the discussion on how to study and the mechanics involved in Observation and Interpretation.  The Third covers how to go about applying the Bible after you have observed and interpreted your passage and the Fourth and final session (which I split off of the 3rd recording) covers translations and which one might be the best for you.  Enjoy and Happy Studying!            Download

Session 3 - How - Application - This week, we wrap up the 3 core elements of Bible study with how to apply the text correctly.  We are told to not only be hearers of the Word, but doers also.  This is perhaps the most important and most abused area of Bible study  Remember, this comes only after Observing and rightly Interpreting the text.
