We are now meeting through videoconferencing until IT’S deemed safe to meet in person again. For information about joining in, contact Laura at mrsdkmiller@gmail.com.
Welcome . . .
This is the resources page for the Romans Read-Through group (women’s) meeting the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, at Three Rivers Grace Church in the West End; 9:30-11:30 am. Childcare provided but please let us know ahead of time.
What to do with this page:
In our last meeting (4/14), we read through Chapter 14.
In our next meeting (4/21), we will review Chapter 14 and read through Chapter 15.
Online Resources:
There are several online resources for reading and studying the Bible, some great, some not so good. It is my hope that what I am sharing here are among the great.
| Bible Study Helps One excellent, single, go-to source is the Berean Wannabe. The Study Helps page linked above is an expanded version of what used to be at the Berean Wannabe. You’ll find commentaries, Bible translations, Bible dictionaries, textual charts and resources, confessions, and other Christian resources. (My personal favorite is the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge.) |
| Bible Passage Observation Sheets This is a helpful resource for those who like to mark up the text as you read and study but who don’t want to do so in your Bibles. Here you can print off any chapter from any book of the Bible with double-spacing and a wide right margin for notetaking — in either portrait or landscape formatting. Worksheets are in the New American Standard Version. |
| Sinclair Ferguson: An Overview of Romans in 40 Minutes This is a message Dr. Sinclair Ferguson delivered at special Banner of Truth event during the Shepherd’s Conference in 2019. |
Articles about Bible Study
(I’ll add to this section as I come across resources and articles about Bible study — methods, suggestions, examples, etc.)
Two on using commentaries in your Bible study:
“Yes, Bring Commentaries to Bible Study”
“Let’s Think Straight About Commentaries”

from Frederick Marsh
My conviction is that the more the Bible is studied -- the more there is found in it to be studied.
Fresh light, strength, joy, help, grace, and blessing -- break out from it!
Scripture is like . . .
the dawn--ever new in its light;
the air--ever fresh in its vitality;
spiritual food--ever nourishing to our soul;
the flowers--ever beautiful in their variety.
Our God and Father in Christ, I thank You that You have given Your Holy Word for my instruction.
Enable me in the grace of the Holy Spirit . . .
to love Your Word supremely,
to believe it wholly,
to live it out truly,
to follow it earnestly,
to rest on it contentedly,
to follow it continually,
to practice it consistently,
to obey it unhesitatingly,
to hear its voice attentively,
to handle it reverently, and
to enter into its spirit devotedly.
In His Name, who alone is worthy, I pray. Amen.
