Who knew? I went to look up a few Bible study method acronyms, and lo and behold, I found a gazillion!

Well, of course I’m exaggerating.

It just felt like a gazillion when I was looking up each and every one!

I actually found 21 (and more since then) – which is about 4 times more than I was expecting.

Free Bible Study Worksheets - designed to be multifunctional and work with any Bible study acronym!

So, I have listed them all (with their websites) here.

There is no need for you – or anyone else – to have to do all that work again! And since I’m somewhat of a research nerd, I am happy to do it.

Especially since it’s for a good cause – my favorite cause – Bible study!

Now I know I promised you that I’d tell you which acronyms I recommend. And I will. But truth be told, I am a little biased since I have one on the list!

I used the SOAP method years ago it’s definitely a winner!

However, these days I am partial to the 9 P’s Method. It has truly changed my heart and brings me joy every single day!

But honestly, I think ANY of these methods would be great! You need to pick the one that will work for you. The one that resonates with you.

The one that inspires you to study God’s Word.

There is only one thing that I would add to every one of these methods.

Before you start studying, pray this verse:

Psalm 119:18 (NLT): Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.

We need the Holy Spirit in order to understand Scripture.

Luke 24:45 (ESV): Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

So that is why I hand-lettered that prayer and put it front and center on your worksheets.

I can’t wait to hear which acronym you pick!
