10 Tools to Enrich Your Bible Study
The Bible is about the King, His Kingdom, and His citizens. Provided below are ten study tools to enrich your Bible study experience in Kingdom culture. In FBI classes, participants are developing specific skills and habits that righteous persons need to be effective in life, focusing particularly on being Christ’s disciple—a person who is committed to learning from the King.
As a study participant, you can benefit most from assignments and study tools by completing three key activities:
- Conducting independent study of the Bible
- Identifying how the Bible can be used to see the nature of the King
- Meditating (reflection or contemplation), which is a posture that God uses to give wisdom to a righteous person
Use the resources below to enrich your study of the Bible. The description statements provided with each resource explain how each document can help you study, learn about the nature of the King, and meditate to allow God to speak to you. Click on each resource title to download the document.

This confession is a proclamation of Kingdom culture over your work environment. Righteous persons, who function like their Creator, bring order to their domain through speech.
