ON HOLD FOR THE SUMMER - Jr. High Tuesday Night Bible Study

Our Tuesday Night Bible Study meets from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Youth Room. Our night consists of eating pizza, hanging out, studying the Bible, worshiping, or playing a game. I often hear from students that they don’t know how to read their Bible… and, if they do read their Bible, they don’t understand what they read. God has shown me that for the Jr. High Bible study, I need to teach to them how to read and understand the Bible. This way the students will be equipped to study God’s Word for themselves. We are currently going verse by verse through the book of 1 John.

We use the process of: Prayer, Observation, Interpretation, and Application as a guide to help us study the Bible.

1. Prayer: We ask for God’s help to understand and apply His Word.
2. Observation: We ask as many questions as we can, reference other verses, and look up words in the Greek.
3. Interpretation: We look for the author’s intended meaning in the passage and ask ourselves, what does God want me to know?
4. Application: We ask ourselves what does this mean for me? How can I apply this to my life?
