Verse-by-Verse Bible Studies: Letting Scripture Speak for Itself
Verse-by-verse Bible study is one of the most effective ways to understand what God has said, why He said it, and how it fits within the larger context of His Word. Rather than reading isolated passages or relying on tradition, this approach allows Scripture to interpret Scripture—carefully, thoughtfully, and in order.
These studies are designed to slow us down, examine each verse in its context, and recognize who is speaking, to whom, and under what circumstances. By studying the Bible verse by verse and in time, we avoid mixing law and grace, Israel and the Church, and prophecy and mystery.
Here you’ll find clear, structured studies that emphasize context, progressive revelation, and rightly dividing the Word of truth. The goal is not to rush through Scripture, but to understand it as God intended—bringing clarity, confidence, and deeper appreciation for the harmony of His Word.
Important Note:
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable (2 Timothy 3:16). Reading Scripture in its historical and doctrinal context does not diminish its value—it preserves its meaning. This site studies every passage according to when it was revealed, to whom it was written, and what God had made known at that time, in order to avoid confusion and honor the integrity of God’s Word.
