Inductive Bible Study Lessons – Lessons that zero in on a particular aspect of inductive Bible study, as I add them on my blog.

Inductive Bible Study of Deuteronomy 29-34 – Full Inductive Bible Study process for Deuteronomy 29-34. Survey, Interpretation, Evaluation, Application. Includes study of how this passage is situated in the larger context of Deuteronomy and the Pentateuch as a whole.
Exegesis of Luke 11:14-26 – I chose to study this particular passage in Luke because of its frequent use and implications in the ministries of deliverance and inner healing: binding the strongman and loosing the Holy Spirit.
Exegesis of Acts 12:1-16 – I have always loved this passage in Acts. As someone who loves to pray, and as someone who gives in too easily to fear, I can relate to the surprise of those who were fervently praying for Peter’s release from prison, when suddenly he shows up at the door. On one hand, I want to ask them, “Why are you so astonished? What did you think you were praying for!” On the other hand, I nod and say, “Yep. That’s me.” When I signed up for a much-anticipated class on Acts (I had wanted to study Acts since the 8th grade when my youth choir sang a musical about the life of the Apostle Paul), it was a given I would choose this passage for my exegesis paper. I was even more delighted to dig deeper into this passage and discover so many wonderful aspects of God’s heart revealed in these words of scripture.
Exegesis of Galatians 6:1-10 – When it came time to write this paper, I was glad our professor had pushed us so hard on translating entire passages from the Greek. It made my study of this passage much more meaningful. I chose to focus on Galatians 6 because this passage is so relevant for the ministry of inner healing in which I participate. The Apostle Paul’s discussion of burden bearing is also referred to often in the ministries of inner healing and intercessory prayer. Through studying this passage, I came to appreciate even more the ways that Paul calls the body of Christ to live a life (individually and corporately) characterized by ongoing sanctification (inner healing) and accountability. Paul’s work in Galatians 6 (and throughout his letter to the Galatians) is truly a blueprint for the community of Christ.
Exegesis of Isaiah 5:1-7 – I was assigned this passage from Isaiah, but I am glad because I love the vivid imagery of the vineyard and its symbolism. This passage sits at a great cross-section of biblical history with a powerful message to God’s people. This paper begins with my attempt at translating the passage from the biblical Hebrew, followed by my study of the passage in English. I had always wanted to take a class on Isaiah and feel blessed that this class intersected so beautifully with my school schedule. What a blessing from God.
