ONLINE BIBLE STUDIES

Online Bible Studies is a way in which you meet with others, three to five persons, to reflect on Scripture, pray for each other, discuss accountability issues with each other, and just praise God together. The Bible Studies use an inductive approach, meaning that each person reflects on the passage of Scripture being studied and offers input rather than having a leader that only tells the particpants what the Bible is saying. Using the inductive approach allows participants to understand what God is saying to them. Each Bible Study has a facilitator who is familiar with the inductive study process of Oil, Interpretation and Life Application (OIL). Bible Studies are available in general theme areas or specific areas such as addictions and other life issues.

Christian Institute's Online Bible Studies have a commitment of about one to two hours a week. Of this time, there is a half-hour committment to be live in the bible study classroom. During this half-hour, participants in the Online Bible Study will have the opportunity to talk with each other. This time is pre-arranged such as 6:00 am every Wednesday. For the rest of the committed time for the week, participants will go at times convenient for them to the Online Bible Study Classroom to do Oil, Interpretation and Life Application (OIL) of the passages of Scripture for the week.

The purpose of CI's Online Bible Studies is to have persons to come to know Jesus and become closer to Him. The Bible Studies are free of charge. Christian Institute is only asking that persons signing up for an Online Bible Study has a charge from God to want to get to know Him more. The time duration for a study is contingent upon each person.
