Free Printable
Bible Study Lessons

Our site can quickly become a source of free printable Bible study lessons for your family, Bible Study group or just for yourself. You have a wide variety of topics to choose from and 100's of articles to use. Ultimately, when sharing with your family or a group, what comes through is what is in your heart. Using other material is only good if you can personalize it. In our busy society, when many who hold Bible Studies are pressed for time, it is often hard to do research totally from scratch. Below you will find suggestions on how you can make our articles and courses a "springboard" to use as the foundation of your own free printable Bible study lessons. Note: Our articles/courses may not be "re-worked" and then posted on the Internet. They are for offline use only.

Where to begin?

Feed Yourself

Unless you are already an experienced Bible student, I suggest you begin by taking our Feed Yourself Course. This is an introductory course on how to study the Bible for yourself. It has 20 lessons, each with assignments. The lessons are only one or two pages, and the assignments are designed to take one week to complete.

It would be highly beneficial to start your Bible study group with these free printable Bible study lessons. After registering for free, you can access each lesson online. Download the lesson you need and a copy of any required forms [or you may prefer to develop your own]. The first 3 lessons can be combined into the first teaching lesson. Lessons 1 & 2 are essentially introductions to the course, covering foundational principles with very little "homework," making it easy to complete the first three lessons in one teaching week.

To prepare for your Bible study class, print off a copy of the lesson for each person you have coming. Also, print off one or two copies of each form necessary for the lesson for each person. Perhaps suggest that each student or couple bring a binder with blank paper to insert the lessons and forms as you distribute them. If you do this, you may want to have a 3-hole punch handy.

In the week before your Bible study class, be sure to read through the lesson and understand each part of it. Do the homework section yourself before class. With this in mind, it is a good idea to start the course yourself one week before you plan on teaching it.

It's your class, but here is my suggested order.

1. Pray at the beginning.

2. Discuss any questions from the previous lesson's homework.

3. Hand out the current week's lesson and any necessary forms [for the lesson on Bible Helps, you will have to gather around a computer; also, for the lesson on concordances, have anyone with a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance bring it].

4. Read through the lesson carefully. Answer any questions the students may have as to the meaning of the lesson or the application of the "homework."

5. Have students begin their assignment. It can either be worked on individually or as a group. Be sensitive not to embarrass anyone.

6. End in prayer.

It is a nice idea to serve coffee somewhere during the study.

Treasure Hunts

There are currently three Scripture Treasure Hunts that can be used as free printable Bible study lessons. They are on the Books of Genesis, John and Acts. Each page has ten questions, which must be answered correctly to progress to the next page. There are 10 pages in total. Access to a computer is necessary to "test" the password and get the next set of questions. This can be done as an entire Bible study or as a fun activity beside another Bible Study. Students can search the appropriate book to find the answers and call them out as they find them, or students can be assigned to find specific answers. Once the answers to all ten questions have been found, determine the password and proceed to the next set of questions. If the password doesn't work, have students re-check their answers. This is a fun way to become familiar with these books of the Bible as free printable Bible study lessons.

Bible Study Courses

There are several different styles of courses available from our Joshua Institute. Some are simply reading [and you will have to develop your own questions], some have questions and assignments, some are workbooks, some have videos, and some require a textbook. You can check out the style of each course on our Joshua Institute page. They are all free to register for, so there is no risk if you decide a course isn't for you or your Bible study group. All can be used as free printable Bible study lessons. View the ones you are interested in. If you have any questions about a course, send me an email. [If you don't hear back from me, make sure you gave me your correct e-mail address!] Make sure that you, as the teacher, review the lesson at least one week in advance of teaching the course. Follow the same basic procedure as with teaching the Bible Articles below.

Free Printable Bible Study Lessons And Articles

Each article can be easily turned into free printable Bible study lessons.

Before Class:

1. Print off the articles you want to use as your free printable Bible study lessons.

-----Copy the article you want.

-----Paste it into a Pages, Word or other word processor document.

-----Adjust the Font size if desired [12 or 14 works well]

-----Delete any pictures to conserve ink.

-----Print

2. Read the article carefully.

3. Note any areas you disagree with and the Biblical reasons for disagreement.

4. Write down Bible questions that can be answered from the article. [Some articles already have questions developed for them. See link at the bottom of select pages.]

5. Make a copy of the questions for each student unless you intend to ask them verbally.

6. Do a quick search through a concordance for additional Scriptures which relate to your theme and write them down.

Class Time:

1. Begin with prayer.

2. Ask students to share what they currently think about the topic [you could announce the topic a week in advance so they have time to think about it].

3. Read the article and the Scriptures in the article [or take turns reading], plus any additional Scriptures you selected. [You may also want students to review the context of the Scriptures to ensure they are being used correctly.]

4. Ask the questions you developed from your free printable Bible study lessons.

5. Discuss from a Biblical perspective areas of agreement or disagreement [keep everything polite and respectful!].

6. Announce next week's topic if desired.

7. End in prayer.

Note: There are easier Bible courses you could find on other websites; however, we have unique articles and courses which often present things from a different perspective [although ALWAYS within orthodox Christianity] than found in many other places and the more you put into your study, the more you and your students will learn.

May the peace and grace of Jesus be yours as you study His word.
