Bible study resources online (4)

I have one thing to say about Bible study resources online: They're extremely lacking. I think this is the only thing the internet lacks. I previously found the internet to be no good for math and engineering, but things changed over time. I'm hoping the same change will happen for Bible study resources. All I'm looking for are simple, free, small group Bible studies for adults. I realize they're available in Christian bookstores, but sometimes I don't have time to go to a Christian bookstore, and sometimes I don't feel like buying an entire book just for a one-time standalone study. In my many [many, many] hours of internet travels, I've found a total of two websites that have even remotely useful stuff: GodSquad and the Christian Arsenal. Everything else either costs money or is so incredibly poor in quality and topic that it's useless as a legitimate tool to lead a Bible study. I'd really like to see the internet pick up in this area. #religion

www.studylight.org is my favorite. not incredibly intuitive & i've never really browsed the front page (i go straight to whatever verse/chapter i'm studying), but I appreciate that it doesn't look cheesy & the study tool is front & center.
there's always www.crosswalk.com too, but that lands in the cheesy category & it's hard to find the study tool.
thought the 'uncheesyness' of studylight could be due to the black & white. i'm not really sure.

Wow. StudyLight is actually really extensive. It's not what I'm looking for, but the sheer number of commentaries and references is amazing. And I agree, Crosswalk isn't all that great.
