These studies plunge into the Bible's wonders, walking through the weeks of a common church year. Each button below has several weeks' studies for that portion of the year. Many of these exercises suppose that you are teaching others: a classic method of active learning. (Even if you're not currently an instructor of family or groups, teaching is an excellent way to study and learn because teaching leaves no room for fuzzy thinking! It forces clarity and organization of thought.) Use these studies for continued growth, with others or independently.
 
Remember to always listen to Scripture speaking (instead of bending it to our limited understanding). Leaders: form purposeful questions for the studies you create, using them to guide learners in discovering important concepts. Use active learning's conversational, interactive nature well: listen for areas people need to grow in, guide them to verses that correct misunderstanding, encourage believers to practice sharing insights and applying God's word. Together, build up the body of Christ.
