Important Information for First-Timers
Welcome to Precept Upon Precept Inductive Bible studies. We’re excited that you’ll be studying with us! Inductive Bible study draws you into personal interaction with God through His Word so that your beliefs are based on a prayerful observation and understanding of the Scriptures— truth that will transform your life. Studying this way is summed up in the words of the psalmist: “for You Yourself have taught me” (Psalm 119:102). May the Lord bless you richly as you delve into the treasures of His Word.
The following will be helpful to you as you begin your studies:
