123 - Simple Steps To Biblical Word Studies

The Preaching Matters Podcast

Conducting a word study is many people’s first foray into deeper Bible study. You might do a word study when teaching the Bible, preparing for a small group, or reading for personal edification. Word studies can quickly go awry, so here are six steps to help you conduct a word study with greater confidence.
For this episode, I will use the STEP (Scripture Tools for Every Person) Bible website, which can be found at stepbible.org. Here are the steps we will cover in this episode.
1. Pick the right word.
2. Find the Greek or Hebrew word.
3. Find other occurrences.
4. Note the range of possible meanings.
5. Check with the commentators.
6. Make your decision.
It takes time and energy to discover a word’s meaning in a given context, but with these six steps, the help of the Spirit, and the grace of God, I trust we’ll get it right more often than we get it wrong.
