Bible verses for promoting a school Bible study group?

We Answered:

Acts 2:42; 'They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.'
Hebrews 10:23-25; 'Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.'

Could I teaches youth Christians "Je pense donc je suis" the way of truth for Bible study in this country?

We Answered:

Descartes "ghost in the machine" and "I think therefore I am" ideas were condemned as heresy by the Church long ago.

Awareness of you thoughts is not the proof or foundation of existence for a Christian. God is, and God's ideas and actions can at any time supersede human thought. His proof is always interior and non empirical.

The Church doesn't believe that a human is only a spirit in a body, working it like a construction working works a drag line. A human is body and soul inseparably intertwined, just as Jesus's divinity and humanity were inseparably intertwined.

how do i make a lesson for a Teen Taught Bible study for Teens?

We Answered:

Well Lynne, I love that you are doing this it is so awesome. Have you ever thought about how God only has to heal people when they are lacking, or how miracles happen because there is need for them? I recently have been meditating on this fact, that God only heals and performs miracles because of lack. Someone healed of sickness was lacking health. Someone in need of financial breakthrough is lacking finaces.

The bible says, that He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly, what that says to me is that Jesus wants us to come to a place of abundance, a place where we have no lack!

Maybe you can study further into that and come up with a very cool lesson.

Just an idea, keep it up though, so great!

What bible study should I do?

We Answered:

Well the best thing to do is to as the Lord what those kids need to hear. But I would say do john 4 about the woman at the well. It's one of my favorites to study because of how much is there if you dig into the cultural history of it. How that woman when in the middle of the day when it was hottest... in that time the women went for water in the morning and the evening when it was cool. She went at noon because she was an Outcast... Most teenages know what it is like to be excluded because of TONS of reasons. They need to see how Christ brings us in despite of what the world says about us and despite of our sin. And we need to remember to Love those who society hates show them Christs love so they too can come to "see the man" who can tell us everything we've ever done. They need to see that Love is a powerful witness and that we need to bring people to the LORD... so they can come to believe in him... not because of what we say but because of what they have seen him do :D

Again... this is just one of my favorite studies ... Please spend time today communing with the Lord think about what those kids are needing now and He will show you what to say. May God bless you and uses you to reach the hearts of these kids! I pray that your ears would be open to hear his guidance and that their hearts would be made ready to recieve all that the Lord has for them!

(Christians only please) Bible study ideas.?

We Answered:

Maybe something from Acts... or 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Have been thinking recently that it must be extraordinarily difficult to be a young/teenage Christian nowadays. The pressure to be one of the "cool kids" (which seems to be synonymous with "atheist" nowadays) must be enormous, so something that teaches them the importance of fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ - to build one another up and encourage one another. It could tie into Hebrews 13:5-6 - where we are told that if God will never leave us and if He is with us, what can man do to us?

Or, James 4:1-6 teaches that God answers prayer - how about encouraging them to start a prayer chain within the group so they autonomously meet for corporate prayer? Really opening them up to the idea that God is moving and working even today.

Just things that will build them up and encourage them to lean on one another, and to be excited about Him o/

Or, how about a study about Luke 7:37-50. The prostitute that washed His feet with oil from an alabaster jar. Again because of the pressure on kids to be cool, that's one of the most beautiful examples of Jesus reaching out to people that were most looked down upon. If Christian teens were willing to eschew popularity and acceptance and to befriend or reach out to those other kids considered pariahs, it would be an amazing witness, and I think it could draw them closer to the Lord.

One of the things I was most excited about as a young Christian was The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson. Maybe a series of lessons based on that? Next to the Bible, it really is the most God-glorifying book ever written. It could start studies on evangelism, miracles, sacrifice, faith and the enormity of His love.

Yikes, have written far too much, am sorry. Just got so many ideas and lots of excitement :oD

You'll be such a blessing to them, bro. God bless your new ministry!

Kenneth Said:

what would be a good lesson for teens bible study?

We Answered:

Simply teach the Bible itself :)

Start in Romans, for instance, and teach a chapter per session. When you're done with Romans, move on to 1 Corinthians, and so on, and you'll get through the whole Bible, and you can do it again :)

And pray to Jesus and ask Him to teach you and bless your studies! :D

Here's a website that teaches the meaning of every verse of every Book in the Bible: http://www.soniclight.com/constable/note…

It can help you prepare :)
