"Me? Lead a Bible study? I'm too shy. I shake in front of people"
"I don't know much about the Bible."
"That's the job of pastors, elders, theologians, and missionaries. Who am I to do that?"
These may be your reactions when asked to lead Bible studies. But this feeling of inadequacy should be translated into a willingness to learn.
Since its publication in 1967 by the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of the Philippines, this slim book has proven invaluable not only in the campus ministry, but also in the local church. This latest edition offers guidelines on how to study the Bible for yourself and how to conduct Bible studies. It also features a sample Bible study plan and discussion of two kinds of Bible studies: Evangelistic Bible Studies (EBS) and Pastoral Bible Studies (PBS).
Be thrilled at the opportunity to open God's Word to others. Leading Bible studies is a great responsibility and a priceless privilege. No one learns the Bible half as well as those who study in order to lead!
