OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE STUDY: Each student will be responsible to write at least a 2-page, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font Bible Study on an Old Testament text. The text should be 1 chapter of a book in the Bible. Include a title page, which does not count toward the page limit. Feel free and creative to present the material as desired, though the following bits of information should be included to permit a fluid study of Gods Word.
Text
Do not type out the entire text. Merely reference the text so that the reader can identify where to turn to in the Bible
Opening story
This should be a scenario, personal anecdote, historical record, or otherwise that engages the reader and connects to the theme of the biblical text
Connect the story to the text
Here connect the scenario with the reader and the reader with the biblical text
Explain the text and the main point(s) that the text is teaching us
Dont get too technical here; emphasize the highlights of the text and the grander themes that are being communicated
Dont get lost in the details
Perhaps a bit of retelling the story of the text is necessary here
In the explanation of the text, weave in 10 questions for the reader to review and consider and answer while understanding the text
These questions could be interpretation questions, application questions, personal questions, etc.
Label your questions 1, 2, 3
for identification purposes
Leave a line after each question with underlined space (e.g., ___________) for your reader to answer the question
It would be best if these questions were imbedded into the overall study as you explain the text. However, a list of questions at the end of the Bible Study is also permitted. It is best not to answer the question for the reader not to hinder reflection and meditation
Close the Bible Study with a written prayer incorporating the points of the text with the readers life
This should be a prayer written in the first person so that the reader could read it aloud and pray that prayer to the Lord
