Tips When Giving Bible Studies


  1. Keep good eye contact, especially when calling for decisions.

  2. Never criticize their church; even if they do, don’t you join in!  Let the Word of God do the job of pointing out error.

  3. Always leave on a spiritual note.  Do your small talk and visiting before the lessons begin, not after.

  4. Pray earnestly for your students every day.  The devil does not like it when one of those in his grasp is being plucked out!

  5. Turn the pages of the Bible slowly, and “talk to yourself” the books of the Bible as you turn the pages. This will help your student not feel inadequate in finding the books of the Bible.

  6. If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so! Remember, you’re learning together.  Just tell the student you’ll look it up and bring the information next session.

  7.  Invite everyone in the home to join in the study.  Even if they refuse, you have made a friend, and they’ll not suspect you of trying to “steal” a loved one's affections!

  8. Stick with the subject.  If a question is asked about a topic you will cover in a future lesson, say, “We have a study coming up on that topic soon.”  Then get back to the study at hand.  Don’t let the devil get you sidetracked.
