10 Best Online Bible Study Ideas for Women

Bible study is an important part of a believer’s life, but with many unable to attend group bible study in person, online bible study has become an important means for us to dig into God’s word. 

Online Bible study is a way to delve deep into God’s Word, discuss with others what you are learning, know His plans for you, and grow in faith with others. It’s also a time to interact with fellow believers, learn from each other, and spur one another on to good deeds.

With all the limitations we currently face with restrictions and closures, getting together for group Bible study is difficult and in some cases impossible. It’s such a blessing to have free online Bible studies that you can use to still grow your faith, even if you can’t participate in a local group study!  

Below I will share some great ideas for online bible studies for women, but first, just a word of caution: Bible study workbooks are great, but they should never take the place of the actual Bible in our lives. I recommend choosing a Bible study that will guide you into God’s Word for yourself. Let the Scriptures speak to you, rather than a workbook author telling you what you should see in a particular verse or passage. If you are a believer, the Holy Spirit can speak to you just as He can anyone else!

Now that I’ve got that off my chest, lol, let’s talk about doing Bible study online, including some of my favorite Bible study online free courses, printable worksheets, and short bible study lessons you can download.

Benefits of Online Bible Study

Online Bible studies are convenient. They allow you to still actively study God’s Word in a place where you feel safe and at a time that is convenient for you. 

I personally love how they give me more control over my time. Plus with the variety available, they allow me to focus more particularly on areas I want to grow stronger in, or gain more insight into.  

There are also online Bible study groups, such as Sojo Academy, that can help you learn in community. The best kind of online Bible study will help you learn to study God’s Word on your own and will give you confidence in your faith. It will help you to know God yourself. Knowing how to study your Bible for answers is important and online bible studies can help you with that in a safe, non-intimidating space.

Another benefit to online studies is that they can help you lead a group Bible study if you’ve ever wanted to lead a study! Completing an online Bible study is a great way to practice leadership skills. You can glean truths from the study, and practice how you might present them to a group.

How to Use Your Online Bible Study

Just like anything else in life, you’ll get out of your online Bible study what you put in. Can you read the assigned verses and write in the answers? Sure. But you can also dive in deeper, and make the study something that changes your life. Here are some tips to getting the most out of an online Bible study:

Choose your online Bible study prayerfully.

There are so many different online Bible studies to choose from. Unlike attending a group Bible study where someone chooses the curriculum for you, you get to choose your online study completely on your own. 

It can be helpful to choose a Bible study that will help you where you are right now. Pray and ask God to lead you to the online Bible study He wants you to follow. Seek His will in deciding what you need to work on and study.

Approach online Bible study with intention.

When you’re attending a group Bible study, you go with the intention of learning. You make a commitment to show up each week and are careful to take everything you need. You may even double-check before you leave home for your Bible, notebook or study guide, pen, highlighters, etc. You are prepared to actively participate.

When you’re completing an online Bible study alone at home, it’s easy to not be as serious about it. But in order to reap the benefits, be intentional, just like you would a group study. Have a dedicated place to do your study and keep whatever you need nearby. Try to minimize distractions, and focus on diving deep into God’s Word. 

Focus on Obedience

Remember that the goal of any Bible study isn’t just head knowledge. We need to be DOERS of the Word we study, not HEARERS only. Doing online studies will best serve us when we focus on obeying what we learn, even if it’s one thing. Oftentimes, doing bible study in community can help with this more than anything else. So be consider doing online bible study with others when possible!
