BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY

Based upon the popular DISCIPLE course, this year-long tour of the Old and New Testaments lets you explore the Bible in a way that works best for you:

• come and view the videos when you can;
• participate in the discussions if you like;
• read each week’s Bible selections;
• buy the Study Manual/Workbook and follow the daily assignments, including the Theme Word and Bible Verse, the Human Condition, the Bible selections, the weekly prayer, the Bible Teaching, the Marks of Discipleship, and the “IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE” section;
• start or join a small study group;
• something we haven’t even thought of.

Discipleship is the practice of moving from who we are to whom we are committing ourselves to be. And studying Scripture together is one way to discover how others have done it, with God’s help. But just studying together is not enough. Since no one has a monopoly on understanding Scripture, it is important for us to learn to really listen to each other and welcome unusual opinions on and different understandings of Scripture—not only accepting, but honoring our differences. And as we better understand our differences, we can grow in our appreciation of one another—and God. To become a disciple through Bible study means trusting the Holy Spirit to instruct us and empower us through Scripture to find and use our gifts to love and serve God and each other.
