small bible study groups

Participants typically use a participant’s guide plus a Bible. Some studies are designed to be used with a companion DVD or digital video, which is sold separately in those cases.

Most of the available guides list the suggested age as 22 years and up.

The guides cover a broad range of themes, including Biblical studies, Christian education, Christian ministry, missions, New Testament topics (Jesus, the Gospels & Acts), and general adult Bible study material.

Several participant guides are paired with video-based studies; descriptions note six-session video-based formats and indicate the DVD or digital video is sold separately.

Each week typically includes suggested Bible passages to read, a short devotion, discussion questions and exercises for the group, and a closing prayer to guide the session.

Leader-training resources cover group basics such as leadership, inductive Bible study, worship, caring and prayer, evangelism and mission, plus practical guidance on developing leaders and running training sessions.

Paperback guides in the set vary in size and weight; heights range from about 8.9 to 10.0 inches and weights range from about 0.26 to 1.2 pounds based on available descriptions.
