Before you can study Scripture well, you need to know why it matters and what tools are available to help you. This module builds your conviction for Bible study, introduces Blue Letter Bible and GotQuestions.

Module 1: Why We Study and How Tools Help

Most Bible study mistakes begin here: we rush past what the text says in our hurry to find what it means. This module teaches you to slow down and see clearly — breaking the passage into smaller pieces, noticing who and what is present, and observing setting, sequence, and what is not stated.

Module 2: Seeing What the Text Says

Observation asks what the passage says. Interpretation asks what it means.

Module 3: Understanding What the Text Means

Verbs are the engines of a passage — they show who acts, who receives action, and how that action is presented. This module teaches you how to use Blue Letter Bible's original-language tools to examine verb tense, voice, and mood in Acts 16:16–19, and how to use what you find to sharpen your interpretation — without overreaching.

Module 4: Studying Verbs With Blue Letter Bible

You have observed, interpreted, and studied the verbs of Acts 16:16–19. Now comes the response.

Module 5: Responding to the Text

A practical, step-by-step course that teaches believers how to study the Bible for themselves — moving through observation, interpretation, verb study, application, reflection, and prayer using Acts 16:16–19 as the practice passage throughout.
