Welcome to Our Online Bible Study.



Introduction: This online Bible study is being hosted by Cypress Ministries. These study lessons (and the commentary notes that are shared) are a shorter version pulled from the study notes Kassie wrote while working on her recently released series "Growing with God."  Though purchasing any of our books is not required, we encourage you to consider looking into our full studies and companion notebooks along with other studies written for Cypress Ministries.

🤔 Have you ever just felt like there was much you were missing while reading your Bible, because you had a hard time understanding Scripture (especially from the Old Testament)? Have you ever wanted to be involved in a Bible study with a teacher willing to help you with your studies, but maybe couldn't find one, or couldn't afford it?

That is what this online study is based on! There is a verse that has struck Kassie to the core, and has been a driving desire in her from God. The verse is in Acts chapter 8.

  • But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot." Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"  And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. (Acts 8:26-31 NASB) 
Notice what the man tells Phillip (when asked if he understood what he was reading). "How could I, unless someone guides me?" This man needed someone to teach him, to come along side of him and help him. And that's what we want to do here in this online study, and from book series, Growing in God's Word.

In this free online study, we are going to be looking at (and digging deeper into) God's Word through various Books of the Bible.

2 Timothy 2:15 says: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth (NASB).

Please note that in this study, we will be providing "reading assignments" that offer portions of the Old Testament, and of the New Testament. However, the actual study lessons will be divided between the Old Testament and New Testament. You do not have to do both at the same time and you can pick which one you would like to focus on first (and of course you CAN do both if you would like). 

Remember that this is a totally self-paced study. We have provide a "how to get started and a study checklist" (this includes direct links to each assignment) for you to go by. 


Blessings
Kassie
