8 Questions to Ask Before You Choose a Bible Study Guide

With hundreds of Bible study resources on the market, selecting a study can be a daunting task. Answer these questions to determine if a study guide is right for your group:

Is this study biblically based? Will the study lead us into a better understanding of what Scripture says, or are we likely to be sharing our ignorance?
Will this study build good Bible study habits that will make us better students of God’s Word?
Is the depth appropriate for our group?
How much advance preparation is required from group members, and is it realistic?
Is the subject engaging? Is it relevant to our lives?
Can the chapters be completed in a reasonable amount of time so that we can still pray and mingle?
How many lessons are there? Will we grow tired of the study before we complete it? Will we complete the study before our summer break?
Will I be encouraged to apply what I learn  to personal growth and ministry?

Arrive at a group consensus before choosing a study guide. Seek a study that leaves you with a sense of anticipation for the wonderful things God will teach your group as you gather around His Word.
