Begin with Christ, then learn your place in His purpose
If you are new to this study, start with the Gospel of Christ. Understanding a chart is valuable, but the chart is not the gospel. Read each lesson with an open King James Bible, compare the passages, and take time to understand the words.
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

A simple group-study pattern
- Read the main passage aloud. Give everyone time to see the chapter’s context.
- Identify the audience, setting, and purpose before discussing application.
- Ask participants which words support each conclusion. Distinguish text from interpretation.
- Compare the supporting passages. Allow questions and revisit uncertain conclusions.
- End with one practical takeaway and the next passage to read.
