Study Tip: Have you noticed over time that you come to associate certain places with certain activities? Sports people find themselves automatically putting on their game face as they walk into a gym. Have you considered doing your studying in the same place every day? After a while, your mind will learn to associate that place with focus and concentration, and getting into the zone will be just a little easier.

WEEK 1: Study Hebrews 2

This week (Sepember 8 thru September 14), please study Hebrews, Chapter 2

Listen to the chapter here. (MP3s coming later.)

Study Tip: All bible quizzing is done in the NIV's 1984 edition. A new edition was released in 2011 which makes minor (but significant) changes to the text, which our reference and finish-the-verse questions will not support. (If you got a scripture portion from the coaches, it is the 1984 version.) If you should answer a finish-the-verse word-perfect from the 2011 version, it is wrong if it doesn't match the 1984 version. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact the coaches.

And remember, we recommend at a minimum that quizzers read the chapter at least twice each day. This provides a good foundation for studying as the quizzer becomes familiar with the material. It is often good to make this a first-thing-in-the-morning, and a last-thing-at-night event, as that lodges the material in the brain for the subconscious to work on it during your day and overnight.
