This website offers you a free small group Bible study on the topic of pride and studies of the Books of Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Genesis, James, Jude, and the Gospel of John. You can access them on the links below or the navigation bar on the left. The study of Genesis is not the entire book but the first first 11 chapters.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25 NIV)

Daily study questions are offered for each chapter online. We also have added the option for you to have the daily study questions e-mailed to you for the Gospel of John. Hundreds have taken advantage of this quick and reliable delivery of daily Bible study questions directly to their inbox. It has been so successful that we are developing this same feature for other studies offered as well.

Here's How It Can Work For You

You can use a free small group Bible study here by printing them out from the web page. We offer to email questions to you every day for some of our lessons here. Then you can compare your answers with the answers provided through a link included with the last daily email or from the web page itself.

Our study methodology involves a discussion of a passage of scripture that was previously studied individually or with a partner. Bible passages and their corresponding study guides are provided for weekly study.

This study format is designed to challenge the student to study the Bible on a daily basis, discuss and share insights with others, and learn biblical truths that can be applied in daily life. Discussion leaders and students should read the assigned passage, answer the corresponding questions, and be prepared to discuss their answers to the questions at the group’s next weekly meeting.

At the next weekly meeting discussion leaders facilitate the group in answering the questions. The general rule is this: if you do not have the answer to the question prepared (written down), group members pass and tell the discussion leader “I did not answer that one” or "I'm going to pass on that one" etc. so the discussion can move forward.

The idea for small group study is to share insights, explore the Bible together, and benefit from group discussion of biblical principles. The ideal small group format provides for a daily individual or partner study which is complemented by the weekly discussion group. Daily studies of the materials on this website can take as little as 15 minutes but is typically 30 minutes. The weekly discussions can easily last an hour, and may easily take 90 minutes or longer with groups that are comfortable or familiar with one another.

Discussion leaders do not have all the answers and should not be expected to have them – they should be expected to

1. be knowledgeable on Biblical doctrine
2. understand how to facilitate group discussion
3. know how to say “I don’t know”

Discussion leaders and students can learn from each other and learn more about the life of Jesus Christ together. It may surprise you how much you can learn from this format. Let us know how it works out for you, we would love to hear from you.

Find out how rewarding a free small group Bible study can be for you. By the way, these Bible studies are suitable for youth Bible studies.

Tools to Help You Study the Bible

It helps if you have a study library or at least a study Bible. We have reviewed several study Bibles and offer our opinion on them at this page. We also would like to recommend that you consider downloading a free electronic software library (opens new window) of Bibles and Bible reference tools if you have a computer. Having participants armed with these tools enhances your free small group Bible study. If you are thinking of leading a free small group Bible study, I believe a software library is essential.
