Are you longing for a vibrant relationship with Christ? Are you craving deeper relationships? Are you aching to dive into Scripture?
Would you consider stepping out and leading your own Bible study this fall? Invite your neighbor, co-worker, a long-distance BFF to join you for a 6-week adventure through God’s Word.
Don’t worry, I’ll make it easy on you. Each of my studies comes with an accompanying leader’s guide worksheet–laying out exactly what you need for each session.
I want to introduce you to several DVD Bible studies that small groups, Bible studies, Sunday school classes, book clubs, and other groups around the country have been using to grow in their faith, knowledge of the Bible, and love of God.
All of these studies are designed to be “All-Play” meaning that if someone doesn’t get to the homework, they can still dive into the group time. No one needs to feel left out! But of course, those who dive into the homework and reading will always get more out of the study.
Each of these studies are also created to bring people together. The questions are designed to take people deeper into Scripture, but also create a safe place where people can share their stories and lives together as followers of Jesus.
Maybe one of these 5 will fit you best:
