How can I lead a Bible study?
Before leading a Bible study, you need to be trained in understanding the Bible so that you don`t lead people astray with a false interpretation of Scripture. Some people are trained in their local churches--churches where the Bible is studied as the Word of God and where Jesus is worshiped as the Son of God. Others choose to take courses at a solid, Bible School where the Bible is studied and Scripture is expounded in a systematic and accurate manner (not given to private, subjective interpretation).

If you don`t have solid teaching at your church, nor access to a Bible school, I suggest you follow the courses presented here on the JesusCentral.com site.

Once you have been trained, then the way to lead a Bible study is to begin praying for God`s guidance. Then, once you`ve studied and prayed, you can help others understand the Bible by  teaching a subject or a book of the Bible, helping others to read the Bible for themselves and discover truths.  When studying the Bible they will learn to compare Scripture with Scripture, not taking a Scripture out of context, and seeking to understand the historical and cultural context and its relevant application today.  Most people learn best in an atmosphere where they are able to discover truth for themselves and then share that truth with others.  That is why Bible studies are often most interesting when they involve lots of discussion and are not just a lecture.

Before leading a Bible study, though, it is important to simply learn to serve people, and to grow in prayer. Beware of Bible studies where leaders interpret Scripture falsely inflicting the listeners with legalism, or manipulating them in some way. It is very helpful that a pastor or other mature believer is available to give you advice and training you when you are leading a Bible study.
