Michael Kelley introduced his 7 steps to a Bible study with depth. I have added a few to his steps and created ten. You can also use these ten steps in creating a sermon.
1. Ask for the Holy Spirit.
2. Read the text (10 times).
3. Question the text.
4. Mine the text (no commentaries).
5. Read commentaries.
6. Find the 3 am statement.
7. Reflect on the text. What does the text mean to me?
I highly recommend attending the Connect Conference this year. Unlike most conferences, Threads doesn’t bombard you with resources to buy. They didn’t however had a list of resources and a few samples for us to check out. I have listed below ten that caught my eye.
I had the privilege of attending the Connect Conference in Austin, Texas a few days ago. The conference was absolutely challenging in so many ways. I will mention in this post 10 things that challenged me.
The conference focused on reaching 20 somethings who are leaving the Christian church in droves. If we don’t reach them, what will our church look like in ten, fifteen or twenty years?
