Video Teaching on the 4 R Bible Study Method

You can understand the Bible. God wants you to know Him better through His Word. The 4 R Bible study method – read, record, reflect, and respond – is a basic, but solid way to dig a little deeper into any biblical passage. This “inductive” method uses careful observation to discover what the passage says. That’s our first goal – to accurately interpret God’s meaning.

Every Bible passage has just ONE meaning – God’s original and only meaning.

Personal application is our last step and end goal. You don’t need extra resources. All you need is your Bible, a pen, a notebook or journal, and a humble, teachable attitude. The “R” repetition makes it memorable! You can take it anywhere!
