“Thy Word Have I Hid in Mine Heart...”
PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE SELF-GUIDED BIBLE STUDY COURSES. Questions for our courses are taken directly from the King James Bible. We work hard to make the questions straight-forward, so that the answers are direct and easy to find. There is no need for an answer key, or to return the courses to us for grading, as we do not have the staff to do so. It is recommended that you save completed courses for future review and reference.
Our Bible studies have been designed as tools to help local churches, their members and others who desire to systematically study God's Word. Some are chapter-by-chapter or verse-by-verse studies of a particular book, others are topical in nature. The fill-in-the-blank format takes questions directly from the King James Version of the Bible and is free of commentary. The Bible studies are organized into courses. Each course consists of eight lessons. Each lesson has twenty-five questions as well as a suggested memory verse. Courses come complete with a Certificate of Achievement suitable for copying onto your choice of award paper for presentation and/or display.
Our material is copyrighted. However, we grant permission to any gospel preaching ministry to reproduce, translate and distribute FREE copies of our Bible studies.

Suggested Uses
The Bible instructs us to not just hear and read, but to study, meditate on, and memorize the Word of God (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:2, Isaiah 34:16, I Timothy 4:16, II Timothy 2:15). Our Bible studies are designed to help believers in achieving that goal. There is no commentary provided. The Scripture text is to be read, and each question is accompanied by the reference where the answer may be found. Our desire is to provide folks with a tool that will help them to study the Word of God effectively, that they may be better equipped for the work of the Lord. The memory verse at the end of each lesson is an encouragement for the individual to hide God's Word in their heart, which is vital for spiritual growth (Psalm 119:11).
Group Study. The studies are an excellent tool for use in Sunday School, teen or adult classes. You may do four or five questions together with the class, then ask them to complete the lesson at home during the week before teaching your regular material. If appropriate, you may want to offer special recognition or a small reward to those who complete the lesson and bring it to class the following week.
Discipleship Material. The lessons are useful in one-on-one or two-on-two discipleship studies, and are also an excellent tool for fellowship and study around the Word of God for new believers or those who have a desire to grow in the Word (II Peter 2:2). Space is provided at the bottom of each lesson for the teacher/student both to sign, which provides accountability in completing the lessons. If desired, the Certificate of Achievement may be presented before the Sunday School class or church so that others may pray for the continued spiritual growth of this believer.
Personal Devotions. Many folks have let us know that they are using the Bible studies for their own personal devotional time. The lessons provide a systematic structure for personal Bible study.
Homeschoolers. We have heard that many homeschoolers find the lessons useful as a companion to Bible class.
Family Devotions. By reading the Scripture associated with four questions each day, a family could study together through the New Testament (New Testament Overview I, II and III), as well as Psalms (I and II) and Proverbs in one year.
Those Struggling with Addictions. The Bible studies are an excellent tool for those who desire to overcome sinful addictions through the study of God's Word.28074015670881
Scripture Memorization. One way to memorize the verses at the end of each lesson is to say the verse and reference five times in the morning and five times in the evening for one week. At the end of one week, the verse should be committed to memory. Review that verse once a day to keep it fresh in your mind and begin saying the next week's verse five times in the morning, etc. following the same procedure as before. Try to actively incorporate the verses in day-to-day life or ministry. In Luke chapter four the Lord Jesus combats the devil's temptation by responding with specific Scriptures dealing with each temptation, which is so needed to overcome sins of the heart (Luke 4:4, 8, 12; I Corinthians 10:13). God is faithful to make a way of escape for every temptation we face. Hiding His Word in our hearts gives Him additional tools to use in giving us victory over sin (Psalm 119:11).
