Alive by God’s Word is more than a Bible study—it’s an invitation into a life-changing adventure with God. Together as a church, we’ll open the pages of Scripture and allow His Word to breathe life into our minds, bodies, and souls. This journey will not only help us encounter God in a fresh and personal way, but also equip us to understand and apply His truth to our everyday lives. Though written thousands of years ago, the Bible still speaks with power and relevance to the challenges we face today. As we walk through this study, let’s prepare our hearts for what God wants to do—because His Word is alive, and it can transform us from the inside out.
Week one
By: Matt Allman
Get the most out of your Alive by God’s Word experience by downloading our study guide and practicing the Bible study method of the week.
S.O.A.P. is a simple acrostic you can apply to any chapter of the Bible or section of scripture to help you get a fresh word from God for your day-to-day life. Each letter stands for a different action you perform as you study the Bible.
Week two
The “Four Questions Method” of Bible study is as simple as it sounds. You’ll read the assigned chapter of the Bible and then ask four questions that are designed to help you interpret the message God is trying to convey.
Week three
The First Person Method is a way of reading Scripture by reading the passage from the perspective of one of the characters, as if you were experiencing it yourself. This approach helps bring the text to life, making it more personal and relatable by engaging both imagination and empathy.
Week four
The S.Q.U.A.D. study method equips you with a convenient and easy-to-use acronym for your Bible study. You are encouraged to gather with fellow Christ-seekers and create a “squad” who can keep you accountable with your studies.
Week five
This study method will teach you to focus on one Bible verse at a time, getting as much out of that one verse as possible. During the one verse study, you will walk through a simple four-step process designed to help you bring your verse to life.
