These studies are generally on a single book or theme in the Bible with an emphasis in diving deep into the subject matter in a brief time. These studies are excellent ways to test the waters of Bible study if you have not done so before or for a quick burst of energy if your spiritual life is waning.
These studies can cover two or three books of the Bible or a number of themes in scripture or even dive deep into one subject and look at it from several angles. These studies can build great friendships with people you may not ever meet during a trip to church on Sunday.
These long-term studies usually cover the whole body of scripture in an effort to familiarize the participants with the whole of God’s story. These studies provide opportunities for groups to study together, do mission work together, and play together because of the long time commitment. Involvement in this type of study brings about life transformation that shapes how you serve, worship, and love God.
