You should find some very good basic Bible study outlines listed below, as well as some heavier "zingers or two" that we have thrown in-to help folks from every avenue of the Christian spectrum.
These studies are just a sampling of much more material that we can make available to the general public. If the response-and demand-for these studies is strong enough we will continue to produce studies on this page.
For any specific studies, or types of Bible studies you would like to see posted here-please message me directly (Douglas Wrucke-Head of Ministry) by clicking right here on our Facebook Ministry Page
1) BIBLE STUDY: How to be saved
A) FIRST-You must BELIEVE what God says through His Holy word, the Bible:
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
B) NEXT-You MUST "REPENT" of [turn away from and STOP doing,,,] the sins you have committed
Mark 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should REPENT
C) NEXT-you MUST ASK Jesus to come "into your heart" and TRULY become YOUR SAVIOR A-N-D YOUR 'LORD'
Acts 2:21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on [invoke for aid, appeal, call upon,,,] the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Luke 6:46- And why do you call Me Lord, Lord, an DO NOT do what I say?
D) FINALLY-you must CONFESS, P-U-B-L-I-C-L-Y, what you have just done with the Lord and what He has done for you !
Matthew 10:32,33 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

2) BIBLE STUDY: How to grow as a Christian
A) Realize that you ARE NOT ALONE. Seek out and find a group of REAL Christians to grow with and learn from.
Hebrews 10:24,25 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
B) NEXT-OBTAIN A DECENT BIBLE AND BEGIN READING IT
If you have never really read the Bible before, for yourself, or have had a hard time understanding it in the past-The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John [They are in the beginning of the New Testament] are a GREAT place to start ! (If you're starting in Matthew-start in Matthew Chapter 2 first,,,). Learning Gods Word is VERY important because He will talk to you, through His Word-because EVERY word in the Bible is "God Breathed". The Bible is , literally, GODS WORDS.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
C) FINALLY-BEGIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD PROPERLY AND BEGIN TALKING TO HIM, A-L-L T-H-E T-I-M-E, THROUGH PRAYER.
Through this, you will begin to obtain the help and fellowship with God-through His Spirit-that will help you grow in your relationship with Him.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

3) BIBLE STUDY: "Pressing In!"
Philippians 3:13,14 -Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
For every believer, there is a destiny to achieve and a high call to answer. It is in this place of the “press” that you find ultimate fulfillment as a born again believer. Nothing else is as exciting or fulfilling as becoming who God wants you to be!
Below are four truths regarding the press of the race for the prize of the upward call:
A) Everyone is to run. At the end of this race, every one of us will stand before the Lord and give an account for how we ran—not how we did in comparison to others. When you run the race that God has set before you, achieve the goals that He has called you to, being who God called you to be, then you will win.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
B) Discipline is a runner’s friend, not his enemy. To be able to run our race, we must train. What many Christians achieve is often the result of grace—it’s spontaneous and unplanned favor. However, to achieve anything great we must understand that self-discipline will bring supernatural results.
1 Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
C) Living in the press provides divine energy and life. Running your race will keep you young at heart. Energy and enthusiasm (“ In -THEO-asm” /God in you !) will be your portion as you focus on constantly progressing towards the finish line that God has set before you.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
D) Do not give up. Even if you have experienced major, heartbreaking setbacks, you have not reached the final finish line yet. Moses proved that true “training” occurred in the desert-not the palace. The quality of your life as a believer is realized in your ability to press towards the goal that is set before you. If you have a vision for what you are to do and a passion to do it, and if you discipline yourself in order to reach the finishing line, you will win!
Hebrews 12:1-3 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4) BIBLE STUDY: The Authority of the Bible-"Simple Scientific Approach!"
Science itself proves the Bible, over and over and over again. Folks just have to have a heart that is open enough to receive it! Here is just a very, very small sample of some of the "Well then, how do you explain THIS?" proofs that the Bible is just FULL of-cover to cover!
All these scientific facts are NOW known to be true-yet the Bible has already recorded these truths, far before mankinds knowledge had ANY chance to even TRY and "catch up!"
-All these scripture references are from the Old Testament, that means every one of them was recorded THOUSANDS of years ago-as "public record" !
-These references don't even draw attention to themselves, they just 'sit there' as part of the normal flow of scripture and describe what any particular verse is referencing, in general. It's as if (to the REAL author of these passages) the 'science behind them' is just common fact and being described without question or debate-cause it's ALREADY KNOWN to be 'FACT'!
A) The earth is suspended on nothing
Job 26:7-He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
B) Space is to large to be measured
Genesis 15:5-And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
C) There are 'lanes' in the oceans
Psalms 8:8-The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the PATHS of the seas.
("Paths" , in the Hebrew language that this was originally written in here, can be translated as a "well trodden road" )
D) Blood is the component inside a body that is necessary for life
Leviticus 17:11-For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
E) What is the best "seaworthy ratio for building a ship?" (30x5x3)
Genesis 6:15- And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

5) BIBLE STUDY: What does the Bible say is the pattern for a New Testament Church?
Hebrews 10:25
“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another…”
A) AT LEAST ‘Sixty Fold’ Biblically sound teaching and preaching. The church is not called to just give a popular opinion or fad doctrine, but is supposed to proclaim TRUTH as it is revealed in the Bible. A living, New Testament church encourages growth in every individual by faithfully teaching, preaching and demonstrating from ALL of God’s Word and using THAT as the standard of measurement for all things. A person will feel both confronted and comforted by the truth of the Word that comes forth from the pulpit in a New Testament church.
Isaiah 51:16- And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
B) Discipleship and Mentoring. The New Testament church is involved in the success of EVERY individual. As a visitor, you should receive the message that, “if you want to grow, we’ll help you.” In a New Testament church, you will also feel challenged and motivated to go to new levels in your Christian walk. Your past will not be an indicator of the possibility of your future when you are discipled and mentored in this kind of church.
Matthew 28:19- Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
C) Intense worship. In a world where passions and basic kindness have become “out of the norm” and perverted- and ‘simple’ priorities are extremely ‘out of whack‘ -INTENSE WORSHIP is the mark of a STRONG CHURCH. As believers CORPORATELY enter in to worship AND EVERYBODY BECOMES INVOLVED (OR ‘PULLED IN , , ,‘ !) there should be a tangible presence of the Lord as He is lifted up.
John 4:23-But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
D) Evangelism. The church was NEVER meant to be contained within its own four walls. The church was NEVER meant to be contained within its own four walls. The church was NEVER MEANT TO BE CONTAINED WITHIN ITS OWN FOUR WALLS
The Church should possess a vision for taking the message of Jesus Christ to the region that God has placed it in. In a New Testament church, there will be opportunities and outreaches to REACH the lost, REVIVE the church in the local area , and REFORM their community.
2 Timothy 4:5-But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

6) BIBLE STUDY: Some basic Qualities every professing Christian should have:
(or "Fruits of the Salvation", or "Evidence of Salvation", or . . . ?)
A) Love one another.
John 13:34-A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
B) Encourage and Exhort one another.
Hebrews 3:13- But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
C) Spur one another on towards love and good deeds.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
D) Build one another up
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
E) Serve one another.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

7) BIBLE STUDY: GODS CHURCH
It is imperative that we as a part of 'GODS Church' understand our God-given mission and the part that each of us as individuals play in achieving the goals of that mission.
Gods Church has a mindset of "The KINGDOM"-and will think like the King thinks! They not only advance the Kingdom of God, but reflect the nature and the priority of the Kingdom in EVERYTHING they do. They have fine-tuned their spiritual ears to the voice of the King and they serve as His ambassadors in a world that is not their home.
When we recognize that EACH OF US has a part in the greater 'whole' of HIS KINGDOM -and that we have been strategically brought to this place for such a time as this-many of the distractions and pettiness that try to hinder us from progressing SHALL be broken !
1. Gods Church will be very sensitive to the spiritual climates that they are placed in. Not only do they recognize and discern current spiritual climates, a church established in the Spirit will SET UP and MAINTAIN NEW climates that fit within the realm of the Kingdom. They will REFUSE to live beneath brazen heavens, pushing past every barrier with high joy, bold faith AND clear vision.
Act 4:29-31 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
2. Gods Church will attack the giants of the land. They don’t wait around for the giants to come looking for them, but aggressively pursue ANY unrighteous stronghold that has been set up in their area. With one goal in mind, "to advance the kingdom of God", they go about the work to spiritually clean the land from any works of religion, flesh, divination, racism, witchcraft, Jezebel, etc, etc. !
Numbers 21:32-35 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there. And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
3. Gods Church has a ferverent, even militant sounding, prayer life. They don’t do it because it’s the newest spiritual fad, but because it has (and must) become a lifestyle. Strong prayer- and strong praise- is an indication of the presence of Apostolic strength and authority, and it is the permanent thing that Jesus said would identify His house.
Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
4. Evangelize the Lost. Evangelism is not a job for a very few trained men-but it is the unrelenting responsibility of EVERY ONE who claims the banner of our Lord and Savior-who died that "all men might be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth" [1Timothy 2:4]. How can we CLAIM to 'love God' and NOT have a BURNING DESIRE to explain that love to a lost and perishing world?
Every person who has a relationship with Jesus Christ MUST share that relationship with others.
2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
