A different kind of Bible Study. Are you interested?

I’d like to start a weekly Bible study group. The format would be different than what most are probably accustomed to.

FORMAT

1. Pick a passage from the Bible to read and discuss.

2. Pick a Biblical/Spiritual/Religious subject to discuss. For example regeneration, election, justification, transubstantiation, sin, love, forgiveness, etc.

3. Read and discuss the wisdom of a great expositor such as Adam Clarke, John Calvin, Augustine, John Wesley, Matthew Henry, Charles Spurgeon, Thomas Aquinas, Frances Schaeffer, etc.

4. Discuss an issue of the day, Christian interpretation and appropriate response. Issues such as the death penalty, homosexuality, drug abuse, homelessness, poverty, Islam, government, education, etc.

5. Hermeneutics. Words and phrases mean things, but what? How do we properly interpret scripture?

The specific passage, spiritual topic, expositor, issue would be published in advance so folks would have time to familiarize themselves with each before the study group meets.

The format of discussions would be friendly, conversational and based on the Socratic Method.

God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). The goal of this Bible study is to step further into His word so as to increase, “the breadth, and length, and depth, and height” of our knowledge, understanding and love for Jesus Christ and to be able to apply all of this in a real world setting.

If anyone is interested in participating in such a group on a weekly basis please send me a private message, email or text. If there is enough interest then we'll proceed forward.

God Bless!
