We are involved in a regular, weekly Home Bible Study. It is a wonderful time to get involved with a few other people to study the Bible in a casual, fun atmosphere. We encourage everyone to be involved in some sort of small-group Bible Study.

We believe that a regular verse-by-verse study of each book of the Bible is the best way to immerse ourselves in God's Word. It needs to be read and studied "c-2-c", that is, "cover-to-cover." We need to involve ourselves with the "whole counsel of God." (Acts 20:27)

Here you will find all of our Home Bible Study notes that you may freely download for your own edification. The notes are in an outline format with virtually no narrative. Each file is in the industry standard .PDF format.

All material is copyright © Jeff Blake, Ox Brook Ministries, and is intended for the edification of the Body of Christ, and especially for your own personal daily Bible study. These materials may be used without cost for personal, non-commercial use. You are encouraged to freely pass on these materials to others for their edification provided you do not charge for them. You may distribute the printed version or electronic version, whichever is more beneficial.

What is most valuable to us are your prayers (1 Thessalonians 5:25; 2 Thessalonians 3:1; Hebrews 13:18).

We strongly recommend e-Sword!
It's been a great help to us and other members of our Bible Study.

It's free, but please support their work with a gift.

Our Home Bible Study Charter:

   • not new wine in old wineskins
   • (Matthew 9:17; Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37-38)
3. Quantity and longevity are not measures of success, or of the Lord's leading
   • He will bring those He wants, and for as long as He wants
