Listen to the chapters here.

Study Tip: What is your best strategy for review? There are two ways to approach these weeks: (1) Learn what you missed the first time around, or (2) Cement the stuff you know well by reading it again and quizzing yourself relentlessly. Consider carefully which way is best for you. If you joined late, definitely consider Option 1. It is your chance to catch up to the other quizzers. If you have been here since day 1, strongly consider Option 2. Either way, do your best to be an asset at Districts!

Study Tip: For some people, the best way to make the Bible a priority in your life is to put it at the start of every day. Rather than waiting for after homework, dinner, or whatever else you normally put before studying, consider setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier in the morning and spending that time reading thru that week's chapter. This can set the tone for your day, and give you a chance to apply the lessons of the chapter in your daily life.
