Session 1: Worrisome Words

This introductory session explores the dynamics of studying when you are worried about “getting something wrong,” vs. studying confidently and accurately.

Session 2: Key Concepts: First Words First
With nothing to fear, the next step is knowing where to start. Laying a strong exegetical foundation for your studies is absolutely imperative to discerning God’s message to His people. In this session, we’ll discover those “Aha!” moments that suddenly bring clarity to the Bible book you’re studying. How does Matthew’s Gospel account flow so that we clearly see the Messiah? Just how much does James draw from his big brother’s famous Sermon on the Mount? Why does Paul use verbs the way he does in 1 & 2 Thessalonians? Mark these things first and watch how it all comes together!
““This is Bible marking on steroids!””
Session 3: Key Words: What’s in a Word?
Keywording is easy once you know what it is and what it accomplishes. But do it wrong and you risk misunderstanding what God is trying to tell you. Session 3 is the longest of the sessions as we get into the nuts and bolts of what it really means to “keyword,” and all the benefits that come with seeing what the original language is doing beneath our English translations. With practical examples that will forever change what you thought you knew about your favorite Bible passage, this session is sure to inspire you to make your marks more meaningful.
““For those who like to mark/write in your Bibles, this keyword system is really good! The material can be used personally or in a class setting. It’s very beneficial either way!””
Session 4: Work on Your Words: Practice w/ Q & A
