Note from Pastor Rick
Welcome to 40 Days in the Word. I am so excited that you decided
to join me in this adventure. I am convinced that there is no other
habit or discipline that can do more to transform your life and make
you more like Jesus, than to study and act upon God’s word.
I want to thank Rick Warren and Saddleback Church for providing
us the template and content for such a rich small group study. And I
echo Rick’s heartfelt goal that at the end of our forty days you will…
Love the Word of God like you’ve never loved it before
Learn the Word of God like you’ve never learned it before
Live the Word of God like you’ve never lived it before
God’s word is not merely informational but it’s also transformational!
To know the Bible is useless if we fail to internalize it and put it into
practice. The apostle James says if we want our lives to be blessed
by God, we must become “doers of the word” and not merely
“hearers.” The Psalmist understood the blessings associated with
God’s word when he said, “That person is like a treeplanted by
streamsof water, which yields its fruitin season and whose leafdoes
not wither—whatever they do prospers. (Psalm 1:3 NIV)
Jesus says both knowing and applying the Word creates the
foundation for our lives: “Everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house
on the rock” (Matthew 7:24 NIV). In order to become Christlike, we
must become living translations of God’s Word.
God’s Word is not like any other book. It is alive. When we agree
with Scripture, we invite God to do what only He can. Agreement
is the place where God’s word becomes activated in our lives. This
means the Bible must become the highest authority in your life. In
other words, God’s word must always have the first and last word in
your life.
My hope is that the next forty days will
become the most important days of your
life as you love, learn, and live God’s Word!

USING YOUR WORKBOOK
Our desire is that every day you and your group fall deeper in
love with Jesus. This workbook is designed to help everyone
grow deeper in their understanding and knowledge of God
through reading the Word of God. You’ll also be challenged to
put your faith into practice!
Here’s a brief explanation of the features of this workbook.
CATCHING UP: You’ll open each Connect Group
meeting with a few questions to help focus everyone’s
attention on the theme of the session.
MEMORY VERSE: Each week you’ll find a different key Bible
verse for your group to memorize together. If someone in
the group has a different translation, ask them to read it
aloud so the group can get a bigger picture of the meaning
of the passage.
VIDEO LESSON: There is a Video Lesson for the group
to watch together each week. Fill in the blanks in your
workbook as you watch the video.
DISCOVERY QUESTIONS: Following each video lesson,
you’ll find questions for Connect Group discussion.
Don’t feel like you need to answer every question or
rush through them. Give everyone ample opportunity to
share their thoughts. If you don’t get through all of the
discussion questions, that’s okay.
LIVE IT OUT: The Local Missions Project is a practical
outreach initiative for yourself, your group or both. As
followers of Jesus, we want to be hearers and doers of
the Word. This is an exercise that will help your group
put the Word of God into practice.
GROUP PRAYER: At the end of each session you will
find suggestions for your group prayer time. Praying
together is one of the greatest privileges of Connect
Group life. Please don’t take it for granted.
DAILY TIME: This section contains daily instructions
that will enable you to practice the Devotional Study
Methods from each week. Over the course of the 40
Days in the Word Series, we’ll spend time reading and
reflecting on Philippians, Mark, James and Psalm 1. Feel
free to use this workbook or a journal of your own to
record your thoughts.
5
A TIP FOR THE HOST/FACILITATOR: The group discussion
material is meant to be your servant, not your master. The point
is not to race through the sessions; the point is to take time to
let God work in your lives. Nor is it necessary to “go around the
circle” before you move on to the next question. Give people the
freedom to speak, but don’t insist on it. Your group will enjoy
deeper, more open sharing and discussion if people don’t feel
pressured to speak up.
6
CATCHING UP
If you’re meeting for the first time, go around the circle and
introduce yourselves. Have each person share an interesting fact
about him/herself and answer the following questions:
When did you receive your first Bible?
What are you hoping to get out of this series?
MEMORY VERSE: Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly. Colossians 3:16a (NIV)
Watch SESSION ONE now and take notes in your workbook or
journal.
VIDEO LESSON 1: Pronounce It!
The Bible is living and active and has the ability to transform us
in ways that go beyond our understanding. The more time we
spend with God and reading His Word, the more we can grow in
our knowledge and understanding of Him. However, God wants
us to be both hearers and doers of the Word. We need to share
the message of Jesus not only by what we say, but by how we
live out our lives on a day to day basis.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is
true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects
us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God
uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 (NLT)
The ultimate purpose of the Bible is to
__________________________________.
SESSION 1
“Pronounce it!”

Basic Principles of Bible Study
1. Ask the ______________________.
2. Write down ___________________________.
3. Don’t just interpret it, ____________________.
4. Study it _________________________.
5. Read it ____________________________.
You can summarize the devotional study method in one word:
_______________________.
Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to
do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and
successful. Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long. Psalm
119:97 (NIV) .
Biblical meditation is essentially thought digestion. Another
word for biblical meditation is “rumination.” Rumination is what
a cow does when it chews its cud. Scriptural meditation is
reading a passage over and over again, then thinking about it
and concentrating on it in different ways until you have digested
its meaning.
The Pronounce It! Method of Bible Study
Read the verse over and over again. After each time, emphasize
a different word or phrase. After each word or phrase, stop and
write down your thoughts. Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly. Colossians 3:16a (NIV)
LET the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you richly.
Let the word of CHRIST dwell in you richly.
Let the word of Christ DWELL in you richly.
Let the word of Christ dwell IN you richly.
Let the word of Christ dwell in YOU richly.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you RICHLY.
Now look at your life through the lens of this verse.
8
How does this truth apply to you right now? What are you going
to do about it?
After you have thought about an application, write it down.
Then finish your time by talking to God about what he said to
you in his Word. Remember this... Your time in daily devotions is
not just for your benefit. It’s also for the benefit of others.
DISCOVERY QUESTIONS
What stood out to you the most from the video session?
In this time together, we’ll go over the Pronounce It! Bible study
method. As a group, practice the Pronounce It! method using
the first part of Colossians 3:15: And let the peace that comes
from Christ rule in your hearts.
Take turns reading out the Scripture emphasizing different parts
of this verse. Try reading it in a different translation.
What word or phrases stood out to you the most? Why?
Why do we often find it difficult to slow down and meditate on
God’s Word?
How does this verse apply to your life right now? What do you
need to do, or stop doing, in order to let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly?
Spend some time sharing with each other about what God has
revealed to you from His Word.

LIVE IT OUT
Local Missions Project
As a group, practice the Pronounce It! method on Micah 6:8.
Ta ke turns reading through this verse putting your emphasis on
different words or phrases.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the
Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 (NIV)
What word or phrases stood out to you the most?
What does this verse mean to you?
As followers of Jesus, what can we do to put this verse into
practice?
In James 1:22 it says: But don’t just listen to God’s word. You
must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
The Christian life is more than Biblical study, we want to be
doers of the Word as well. That’s what the Local Missions
Project is all about.
Over the next 40 days, we want to encourage your group to
think about, plan, and carry out an outreach project. What you
do is up to you. You don’t have to make a decision today, but
get started by thinking about some possibilities together.
Your project will become a major focus for your group over the
next 40 days. Here’s how you can get started. Recruit a group
member to lead the Local Missions Project. This person will
help keep moving everything forward.
Our Local Missions Project Lead is: _______________________
Review the Local Missions Projects examples and ideas
provided by your group leader. What ideas stood out to you the
most?
Your Project Lead can report back to the group at your next
meeting.
Note: Feel free to share your own ideas for the Local Missions
Project. During this series, we would love to hear how your
projects are going. Email us info@christplace.church.

DAILY TIME
Days 1-7: Pronounce It!
Scripture Reading: Philippians
Week One Memory Verse: Colossians 3:16a
During 40 Days in the Word, you’ll read about one chapter a day
in the Bible. Read at your own pace, but we suggest you apply
each week’s method of Bible study to that day’s recommended
verse or passage.
This week in your daily time, we will be reading through
Philippians. Don’t rush through the Scripture readings. It’s
important to slow down and learn what it means to meditate on
Scripture. Let the Word of God speak to your spirit. You may be
surprised at what God will say.
As you read the Scripture for each day, practice the Pronounce
It! method on the recommended verse. Write down your
thoughts and learn to listen to the Holy Spirit within you. Think
about how each verse can impact what you say and do.

The “Picture It!” Method of Bible Study
This method works best when you’re reading a narrative
passage, story, or parable.
Picture the biblical scene in your mind. See yourself as one of
the people in the story. Ask yourself, “How would I feel if I were
involved in this situation? What would I say? What would I do?”
Then see yourself as a different character in the story and ask
yourself the same questions again.
Ask yourself, “With whom in the story do I identify most clearly,
and how does their situation resonate with my life right now?
What is God trying to say to me? What does He want me to
do?”
Then take a few minutes to write down your thoughts,
observations, questions, and any steps you need to take.
Scripture comes alive to you and you see it in a whole new way.
DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

SESSION 3
“Probe It”
CATCHING UP
What did you like about the Picture it! method? What stood out
to you the most from your daily devotions this past week?
Are you more of a visual or auditory learner? How does that
affect how you read the Bible?
MEMORY VERSE: Do not merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22 (NIV)
Watch SESSION THREE now and take notes in your workbook
or journal.
VIDEO LESSON 2: Probe It!
Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth.
John 17:17 (KJV)
Bible study without application is dangerous because . . .
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 1 Corinthians 8:1 (NIV)
Knowledge produces ________________.
Knowledge requires _________________.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says. James 1:22 (NIV)
Knowledge increases __________________.
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t
do it, sins. James 4:17 (NIV)
Applying the Bible can be dicult because . . .
1. It requires ________________________.
2. Satan ____________________________.
3. We naturally ______________________.
27
The Application Bridge
Ask these questions and learn how to apply God’s Word.
1. What did it _____________________?
2. What is the _________________________?
3. How does it ________________________?
In your letter you asked me about food offered to idols. All of
us know something about this subject. But knowledge makes us
proud of ourselves, while love makes us helpful to others. In fact,
people who think they know so much don’t know anything at all.
... Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the
idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God.
... Not everyone knows these things. In fact, many people have
grown up with the belief that idols have life in them. So when
they eat meat offered to idols, they are bothered by a weak
conscience. But food doesn’t bring us any closer to God. We are
no worse off if we don’t eat, and we are no better off if we do.
Don’t cause problems for someone with a weak conscience, just
because you have the right to eat anything. You know all this,
and so it doesn’t bother you to eat in the temple of an idol. But
suppose a person with a weak conscience sees you and decides
to eat food that has been offered to idols. Then what you know
has destroyed someone Christ died for. When you sin by hurting
a follower with a weak conscience, you sin against Christ. So if
I hurt one of the Lord’s followers by what I eat, I will never eat
meat as long as I live. 1 Corinthians 8:1-2, 4, 7-13 (CEV)
What did it mean then? Don’t eat meat offered to idols if it
offends someone. Even though you know there’s nothing wrong
with it, it’s not the loving thing to do.
What is the timeless truth? Don’t allow your freedom to offend
someone. Just because you know something is okay to do
doesn’t mean you should do it. You need to be sensitive to the
people around you.
How does it apply now? Is there anything I am doing out of
selfishness that could be causing someone to stumble?
Don’t just think about it, write it down! Be sure to keep track of
any insight or applications that you’ve discovered in your
Scripture reading.

The “Paraphrase It” Method of Bible Study
Read the verse or passage over and over.
Think about what God is saying to you.
Put it into your own words.
Search your heart to see how the verse applies to you.
Talk to God about it.
Write down what God is showing you.
The Paraphrase It! study method helps put the passage of
Scripture into our own words. By putting Scripture into our own
words, we gain a clearer understanding of what it means and
what the Scripture is trying to say to us. Write back to God what
you heard Him say to you and use your own words.

The “Personalize It” Method of Bible Study
Add your name to the spaces provided. Read the Scripture as
though God was speaking to you.
For God so loved (__________) that He gave His one and only
Son, that if (__________) believes in Him, (__________) shall
not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
He who began a good work in (__________) will carry it on to
completion until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
“I began a good work in you, (___________), and I will carry it
on to completion.Philippians 1:6
“Trust in Me, (__________), with all your heart and do not lean
on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me,
and I will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5–6
44
“I am your Shepherd, (__________), you shall not be in want.
I make you lie down in green pastures, I lead you beside quiet
waters, I restore your soul. I guide you, (__________), in the
paths of righteousness for My name’s sake. Psalm 23:1–3
Think of the Word of God as a love letter to you. God wants
you to read it and get to know Him through reading His Word.
Devotional reading and meditating on Scripture helps us to
understand what God thinks about us and allows us to grow
closer to Him!
The Pray It! Method of Bible Study
In this method, you pray the Scripture back to God as if you are
saying it about yourself. Use first person singular words like, “I,
“me,” “my.” Pray it back to God while making it personal!
“I am your Shepherd, you shall not be in want. I make you
lie down in green pastures, I lead you beside quiet waters, I
restore your soul. I guide you, in the paths of righteousness for
My name’s sake.” Psalm 23:1–3
Thank You, Lord, for being my Shepherd, and that I lack
nothing. Thank You for making me lie down in green pastures,
and for leading me beside the quiet waters. Thank You for
restoring my soul. Thank You for guiding me in the paths of
righteousness for Your name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-3
“Trust in Me, with all your heart and do not lean on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will
direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5–6
Help me, Lord, to trust You with all of my heart and to stop
leaning on my own understanding. Please give me the faith to
acknowledge You in all my ways so You can direct my paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
The Pray It! method really makes Scripture personal. What is
God saying to you? This method allows us to ask questions
like: How does the verse or passage apply to my life right now?
What does God want me to do about it? How can I put it into
practice? What do I need to think or feel differently about? How
does He want me to live from now on?

Principles of Bible Intrepretation
______________ and the ___________________ are
necessary for proper interpretation.
No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit
who is from God, so that we may understand what God
has freely given us . . . The man without the Spirit does not
accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them,
because they are spiritually discerned . . . But we have the
mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:11-16 (NIV)
But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you
into all truth . . . He will bring glory to Me by taking from
what is Mine and making it known to you.
John 16:13-14 (NIV)
The ______________ is its own best ___________________.
Read the ___________________ with the _______________
in mind, and read the __________________with the
__________________ in mind.
Always interpret ______________ passages in the light
of____________________ passages.
Don’t form a ___________ based solely on a
_______________________.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got
up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he
prayed. Mark 1:35 (NIV)
Don’t interpret ______________ based on
____________________ instead, interpret
_______________________ based on ___________.
Exegesis means to draw out of the text the truth that God
put there.
Eisegesis is to read into the text some idea or theory that
you want to see there.
