Learn at Your Own Pace.

Learning from the Bible should be enjoyable, not a burden. There are no time limits and no schedules, so feel free to take the courses as you have time. Learn on the website, by email, or through postal mail.

Every week, thousands of people use the World Bible School website to learn from God's word. These people come from nearly every country on earth. The Bible was written for every person in every culture.

Why Study the Bible?

The Bible was written by 40 men during a period of 1,500 years. Most of these writers were not alive at the same time. They could not work together in any direct way. Yet the Bible has one continuing story flowing through it.



The Bible answers your need for Love.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."(John 3:16)



The Bible answers your need for guidance.

"You have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”(2 Timothy 3:15)



The Bible answers our world's need for peace.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”(John 14:27)



The Bible answers your need for Life.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”(John 10:10)

How to know your limits.
To Work in God’s Image Is to Be Blessed by the Limits God Sets (Genesis 2:3)

Since we are created in God’s image, we are to obey limits in our work. "God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation" (Genesis 2:3). Did God rest because he was exhausted, or did he rest to offer us image-bearers a model cycle of work and rest? The fourth of the Ten Commandments tells us that God’s rest is meant as an example for us to follow.

Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. (Exod. 20:8-11)

While religious people over the centuries tended to pile up regulations defining what constituted keeping the Sabbath, Jesus said clearly that God made the Sabbath for us–for our benefit (Mark 2:27). What are we to learn from this?

Making time off predictable and required

Read more here about a new study regarding rhythms of rest and work done at the Boston Consulting Group by two professors from Harvard Business School. It showed that when the assumption that everyone needs to be always available was collectively challenged, not only could individuals take time off, but their work actually benefited. (Harvard Business Review may show an ad and require registration in order to view the article.) Mark Roberts also discusses this topic in his Life for Leaders devotional "Won't Keeping the Sabbath Make Me Less Productive?"

When, like God, we stop our work on whatever is our seventh day, we acknowledge that our life is not define

John 7:40-44 continues the narrative from our prior lesson:

"Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, 'Truly this is the Prophet.' Others said, 'This is the Christ.' But some said, 'Will the Christ come out of Galilee?' 'Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?' So there was a division among the people because of Him. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him."

The boldness of Jesus' words pertaining to coming to Him to drink and the benefit of believing in Him prompted some Jews to assert that He was the Prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy 18:18,19 - "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him" (cf. John 6:14). These people, of course, viewed Jesus favorably. Interestingly, they seemed to be of the opinion that Jesus was a predecessor for the Messiah.

There were others of the multitude, however, who went further in their claims and stated that Jesus was the Christ. He was the Messiah! Those who held this belief were questioned by another group - "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?" These Jews (as opposed to those in John 7:27) were evidently familiar with the Old Testament Scriptures that foretold the Messiah's birthplace and ancestry (cf. I Sam. 16:1,4; Micah 5:2; II Sam. 7:12ff). They disbelieved in Jesus as the Christ because they mistakenly believed that He was born in Galilee. The Jewish people in general didn't seem to understand that the Prophet Moses spoke of would also be the Messiah. Thus, technically both statements about Jesus are correct: Jesus is the Prophet Moses spoke of and He is also the Christ!

According to John 7:43 - "There was a division among the people because of Him"(cf. 7:12). This should no
