Journey Bible Class, Mondays at 6:30

This week we started out again for our latest Journey Bible Class session, “How to Study the Bible.”  This is my second time around teaching this particular material and I’m loving it even more than before.  I think what I love the most about this class is how it opens up the scriptures for people. What we are learning is very basic…nothing more than a method for how to study the Bible.  But light bulbs are constantly going off all over the room.  People are getting a glimpse of just how beautiful God’s word is and come away with the confidence to actually read and understand it on their own.

I’ll never forget a comment from a woman after our first session last year:

I have been in the church all my life – ever since I was a little girl – and no one has ever taught me how to study and read the Bible for myself…I can’t believe it.

I was so excited for her and many others who expressed the same thing.  But at the same time I was a bit disappointed because I could believe it… because this was true for me as well.  How could it be that people could be in the church for years and years, yet not have learned how to study for themselves the very centerpiece of our faith, given to us from God?  Interesting huh.

So, enter into this scene.  Journey Bible Class!  Come jump in with us as we go on from here.  We have 4 weeks left and are just getting started.  See you Monday night at 6:30pm. For more information just head over to Journey Bible Class 2010.
