Where should a beginner start reading the Bible?

If you are new to reading the Bible, start with the life of Jesus from the book of Mark in the New Testament. Start at the beginning of Mark and read as much as you want to read each day. If you are a new Christian, we recommend that you start with the book, “A Fresh Start,” the ideal place for new-to-the-Bible Christians to begin learning about the spiritual riches and abundant life that God has prepared for us.

Then, read the books of Matthew, Luke and John. Christianity is Christ. It’s about a relationship with him. Therefore, get to know Jesus well through reading His life and teachings. Continue reading through the New Testament from Acts through Revelation. After reading the New Testament, then you can start reading the Old Testament.

Can anyone do Bible Study?

Yes! Anyone can study the Bible Study for themselves. The Bible is God’s Word for every one of us. Just start reading through the New Testament. The Holy Spirit will help you understand what you are reading. That is what God desires for you so He makes sure you are enabled to do it. So, you can ask the Lord to teach you through what you are reading.

How do you lead a Bible study for beginners?

  • Choose a short and easy study designed for beginners.
  • Be aware of their feelings of insecurity.
  • Work through the lesson together the first few times you meet.
  • Look up and read each Bible verse together.

    Love your Bible Studies! I can’t believe you allow them to be used for free. A group of about 8 of us old gals from church have been doing Mark. Great in-depth look at the end of Christs earthly life. It also encourages us to look at other sources for information. Even though we are all old. (younger at heart than years) we are all learning. I cant thank you enough for the free preview. So many othet authors books are a bit pricy for our budgets and then not what we want to study. Just discovered you a few weeks ago and so glad I did.
