Small Study Groups are the heart — the unique heart — of the Workshop.
Most of us struggle to study a passage with its context in mind, including how it fits into the “Big Picture” of God’s redemptive plan. Study Groups are a safe place to practice these skills. In a process that is cumulative, cooperative, and cordial, the strengths of some in the group become the strengths of all!
There are two tracks to choose from – Teacher Track and Personal Study Track. Which one should you choose? Here is some helpful information:
The Teacher Track
… is for you who plan to lead or teach a Bible study. At home you study your assigned passage and develop a 5-minute lesson based on a central idea in the text. Specific steps to help you are in the Preparation Materials. At the Workshop, you present that very short, abridged lesson to your group. Then, all together, you dig further into the text as your leader facilitates a discussion that includes feedback on your central idea.
The Personal Study Track
… is for you who want to sharpen your Bible study skills and develop new ones. At home you study your assigned passage and identify a central idea in the text. Specific steps to help you are in the Preparation Materials. At the Workshop, you present to your group a 5-minute explanation showing how your passage supports your central idea. Then, all together, you dig further into the text as your leader facilitates a discussion that includes feedback on your central idea.
