The Rocket Science of Group Bible Study Regardless of what Bible study material you select for your group, the success of your Bible studies hinges on the effectiveness and engagement of your group members. The most effective groups combine a study of Scripture with developing a deep community. Participants must carefully select one another, set expectations and participate regularly. It is a challenge that many leaders struggle with week in and week out, even when using great Bible study materials. This webinar focuses on three simple but powerful tips that help guide you through the essentials of successful group Bible study. Start with an icebreaker. Allow everyone to share something about themselves safely and encouragingly. It will help your new groups feel at home together and bridge the gap between greeting time and your study of Scripture. Consider your group's spiritual background, age, ethnicity and marital status. These factors will impact what kinds of questions your group will have and how you might approach them. For example, a high school group may understand the biblical text differently than a professional business group. Also, a mixed-gender group will have a different experience than an all-male or all-female study. Select a study that fits the group's needs and meeting schedule. For example, if you know that many of your group members are struggling with a tough season, select a study that will offer hope and perspective. Or, if your group meets before work, choose a survey that will help them engage God's Word amid their busy lives. Use a question structure that is conducive to your group's discussion style. Some questions boost group discussion, while others kill it. Learn the right and wrong ways to ask questions to help your group interact more effectively.
