Have you been thinking about starting a Bible study? Are you a bit confused and intimidated by the whole idea? We understand! Check out the blog today as we answer 5 questions about starting a Bible study.
The Word of God is living and active and the Bible promises it won’t return void. This means that any time you are reading it as a believer, you are growing in Christlikeness.As the leader of the group, you’ll want to prepare for your Bible study meeting before you get together. But this doesn’t mean that you have to crack open ancient commentaries and read the entire Bible before your meeting! You’ll want to read over the coming week’s personal study or passage and watch the video .
Many group leaders find it helpful to go through the entire study ahead of leading their group. One way to do this easily is through our Online Bible Studies. We provide the videos free of charge for a limited time, so it’s a great opportunity for you to work ahead or check out the study before leading it. You can find out more information on those studiesYes! Even if you are leading a Bible study outside your church , let your pastor or ministry leader know what you’re doing.
Second, they may be able to provide you with resources. Most pastors have a pretty decent library of commentaries and other helpful books they’d lend you! Depending on your church and how they do small groups, they may be able to provide you with a place to have your Bible study, and may even provide childcare and books for attendees. Let them know what you’re thinking of doing, so they have an opportunity to help meet tangible needs in your group.
Letting your pastor know you’re leading a Bible study also helps when you get questions you can’t answer or have issues and needs arise that you are not equipped to solve on your own. If your pastor is already aware of your Bible study, it makes it easier to reach out when someone in your group has a theological question you’d like help in answering or someone needs a counselor or financial help in your group.
