DISCOVERY BIBLE STUDY

Developing and growing Bible study skills and character

MODULE 3

This module focuses on how to effectively study the Bible to enrich devotional times, lead small group discussions and write lessons and messages. Participants work systematically through the process of observation, interpretation and application of biblical passages to understand the original author’s intent and accurately apply the word of God. Throughout the module each woman facilitates a topical study, a small group Bible study and a short message based on her personal study of a scripture passage. With encouragement from her peers and coaching from certified facilitators, we hope that each woman will grow in confidence and love of the study of God's word and in her desire to equip others.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Stories

SALLY

It has enhanced my ability, as I lead Bible study and mentor women to ask better, deeper, more thought-provoking questions.

JULIE

I appreciated the opportunity to dig into God’s word and draw our discussions and messages right from there rather than from someone else’s commentary.

TOM

Open-ended questions during the Bible study allowing group members to observe, interpret and apply the passage together, enables the group to think together, share knowledge and allow the Holy Spirit to lead.
