HELPING YOU WITH THE STUDIES
HELPING YOU WITH THE STUDIES
SHARE & CARE QUESTION
Share things in common.
Care about others.
Feel like part of the group.
Learn something new .
Just use short answers as ice breaker.
PRAYER
Open with prayer asking God for understanding.
Quiet minds from outside distractions.
Focus on what the Holy Spirit says to you.
End with the Lord's Prayer aloud together.
SCRIPTURE & QUESTIONS
Scripture
Read aloud taking turns to participate or pass.
Follow along in your Bible.
Different translations add meaning.
I like to use the New American Standard Bible or New King James.
Do Bible study together in class with no homework but some people like to do them before class.
Each Bible study lesson is designed to last about an hour.
Questions are answered by the group only if comfortable sharing. Some people will not participate but would rather learn by listening.
Use Scripture to answer questions in study book so you are not led astray by what others think but learn what the Bible says.
I write out answers given by students on a board so they can be written in study book.
Focus on the Facts summarizes what you have learned.
So What? Take Away Apply what you have learned so you can share with and encourage others.
CHARTS & MAPS
Use maps so you can see where things took place.
Recommended resource Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps & Timelines by Rose publishing. Can copy maps and charts for classroom use.
