what is the concept of Inductive Bible Study. It
is not Deductive meaning, we try to infer or
guess what the author is saying but rather we are
looking into the Bible proper and see the lessons
for ourselves. We let Gods word speak to us.
However, we will do it in a systematic way
Not in a negative way as it is given here. Mat
273-5 Then Judas, went and hanged himself Luk
1037 Go, and do thou likewise. Joh 1327
Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do
quickly
5
Getting your bearings right
Do you know of things in history that was proven
wrong.
Eg of wrong discovery Galileo vs the religious
leaders of his days.
And now Pluto is relegated to a dwarf planet
rather than a planet.

Jonah 1 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah the
son of Amittai saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh
the great city and cry against it, for their
wickedness has come up before Me. 3 But Jonah
rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of
the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship
which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and
went down into it to go with them to Tarshish
from the presence of the Lord. 4 The Lord
hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a
great storm on the sea so that the ship was about
to break up. 5 Then the sailors became afraid
and every man cried to his god, and they threw
the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to
lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below
into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen
sound asleep.

Jonah 1 6 So the captain approached him and
said, How is it that you are sleeping? Get up,
call on your god. Perhaps your god will be
concerned about us so that we will not perish.
7 Each man said to his mate, Come, let us cast
lots so we may learn on whose account this
calamity has struck us. So they cast lots and
the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him,
Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity
struck us? What is your occupation? And where do
you come from? What is your country? From what
people are you? 9 He said to them, I am a
Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven who
made the sea and the dry land.

In Inductive Bible Study we will look at the
5Ws and an H1. Asking WHO helps you find out
WHO wrote this?WHOM are we reading about?To
WHOM was it written?WHO said this or did that?
20
2. WHAT helps you understand
WHAT is the author talking about? WHAT are the
main things that happen?
21
3. WHERE helps you learn
WHERE did something happen? WHERE did they
go? WHERE was this said? When we discover a
WHERE we double-underline the WHERE in green.
22
4. WHEN tells us about time. We mark it with a
green clock like thisWHEN tells us
WHEN did this event happen or WHEN will it
happen? WHEN did the main characters do
something? It helps us to follow the order of
events.
23
5. WHY asks questions like
WHY did he say that? WHY did they go there? WHY
did this happen?
24
6. HOW lets you figure out things like
HOW is something to be done? HOW did people know
something had happened?
25
Now let us look at our Memory Verse Proverbs 1810
WHAT is our strong tower? HOW are the righteous
safe?
26
Now lets read Psalm 207Some boast in chariots
and some in horses,But we will boast in the name
of the LORD, our God.
WHAT are we to boast in? In WHOM are we to boast?
WHERE do we put our trust?
27
Lets read Psalm 5014,1514 Offer to God a
sacrifice of thanksgiving     And pay your vows
to the Most High 15 Call upon Me in the day of
trouble    I shall rescue you, and you will
honor Me."
WHAT are we to do in the day of trouble? WHO is
this Me in verse 15? WHAT will God do when we
call upon HIM? WHAT will we do?
28
Now let us look at one last verse Psalm 1248
Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made
heaven and earth.
WHERE is our help? Since we know that Gods name
shows us His character WHO HE is? WHAT do we
learn about God in this verse? We have just
learnt something very important about WHO God is
and WHAT He does.
