Bible Studies
Study What You Were Taught.
Bring your questions. Bring what you were taught. Then open the Bible and test it.
Open Your Bible studies are designed to slow us down, read passages in context, compare Scripture with Scripture, examine competing interpretations fairly, and build conclusions from the evidence rather than from inherited slogans.
Explore the Studies ↓The Open Your Bible Method
Don’t Just Read the Conclusion. Follow the Evidence.
Open Your Bible studies are built around a simple rhythm:
Read → Observe → Answer → Compare → Test → Interpret
Observe
Notice what the text actually says before deciding what it means.
Answer
Respond to the questions the passage itself raises.
Compare
Follow related passages and let Scripture provide context.
Test
Put common teachings, assumptions, and competing interpretations beside the evidence.
Interpret
Build your conclusion from what you found.
Don’t take my word for it—Open your Bible.
Free Printable Study Companions
Put a Pen in Your Hand.
Reading a study is useful. Working through the evidence yourself is better.
Most Open Your Bible guided studies include a free printable Study Companion designed to sit beside your Bible while you study.
The Companion gives you space to record what you observe, compare passages, test competing claims, work through key words, answer the strongest questions, and write your own conclusion before reading Sasha’s.
How to Use Your Study Companion
- Download the Companion before beginning the study.
- Print it if possible and keep it beside your open Bible.
- When the study directs you to a passage, stop and read the passage yourself.
- Write what you actually observe before rushing to an interpretation.
- Use the response spaces to compare claims, record questions, and trace the evidence.
- Complete your own conclusion before relying on Sasha’s.
- Keep finished Companion Guides together in an Open Your Bible study binder so you can return to what you learned.
The goal is not simply to know what Sasha believes. The goal is to learn how to open Scripture, trace the evidence, test what you were taught, and know why you believe what you believe.

Topical Studies
Bring the doctrine. Open the Bible. Test it.
Start with a question, doctrine, or teaching you have heard and trace it across Scripture. Topical Studies compare passages, examine competing interpretations, test common claims, and build conclusions from the biblical evidence.
Explore →Word Studies
Slow down. Follow the word through Scripture.
Explore important Hebrew and Greek words in their biblical contexts. Rather than building theology from a dictionary definition or Strong’s number, Word Studies trace how a word is actually used across passages, authors, and the larger biblical story.
Explore →Book Studies
Read the argument from beginning to end.
Work through whole biblical books in context. Follow the author’s argument, audience, structure, repeated themes, historical setting, and connection to the rest of Scripture instead of building doctrine from isolated verses.
Explore →People of the Bible
Meet them inside the story.
Study the people of Scripture as real men and women living inside Yehovah’s unfolding covenant story. Examine their faith, failures, choices, relationships, cultural setting, and role in the larger biblical narrative without flattening them into simple heroes and villains.
Explore →Passage Studies
Stay with the passage long enough to hear it.
Take one famous, difficult, debated, or frequently misunderstood passage and examine its paragraph, chapter, audience, language, historical setting, and biblical context before deciding what it means.
