Here is a synopsis of what we covered Wednesday night. We had nine people in class. What a great start! I hope you all come back next week.
Week 1 Learning Outcomes: After this week’s lesson, the class member should be able to:
- Discuss with others what the Bible says about itself by citing key passages;
- Recall the main reason for reading the Bible;
- Describe the dual roles of love as they relate to the main reason for reading the Bible; and
- List the five “big-picture” themes of the overall biblical story.
The following is adapted from Jake Christian’s curriculum
Read the following Scripture passages to prepare for class:
- Psalm 119
- 2 Timothy 3, especially verses 14–17
- Matthew 22:37–40
- 1 John 2:3–6
- 1 John 3:16–18
- Ephesians 4:11–16
The Big Picture:
- Created for Oneness
- Otherness Introduced
- Otherness Expanded
- Otherness Abated (I modified this from the handout)
- Redeemed into Oneness
Some questions to consider (no right or wrong answers; just reflection):
- What words or concepts come to mind when you think about the Bible?
- What have been your successes in reading and studying the Bible?
- Where do you want to experience some growth in reading and studying the Bible?
- What does the Bible say about itself?
- Who has had the most influence on your understanding of the Bible?
Next Week’s Topic: Introducing the Bible Study Method:
- Get a Bible
- Read it.
- Think about how it applies to your life.
