LEARN CHARA: Samples of How to Study a Passage
We’ve provided some quick examples of answers to the questions provided in the CHARA Bible Study Guide so you can see CHARA in action. This also gives you a sample of how you might use CHARA to guide your own personal or group Bible study on any passage or book in the Bible. Just tuck this go-to guide in your Bible, grab a pencil and paper and you’re on your way!
Here are a few things you may notice in these examples that will help you in your own Bible study:
Use for any size passage - The CHARA Bible Study Guide can be used with a verse, passage, chapter or more!
Hop around - You don’t have to always go in the same order of C-H-A-R-A. Mix it up and go in any order as needed with the passage, just remember to save application for last.
It’s not a checklist - Not every question will apply to every passage. In fact, you may not even ask a question from each section every time. With practice you’ll begin to see what questions help bring different passages to life.
Questions may overlap - You may find questions can overlap - different questions may yield the same answer. That’s okay. In fact, it helps you know you’re on the right track!
Example: Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you…”
Example: Matthew 6:19-23
“Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth…”
Example: Luke 16:1-13
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
Example: Luke 24:13-35
The Emmaus Disciples
