Mini Bible Study Hope

Improved Essays
In this four week mini Bible study we will explore what hope looks like. In 1 Corinthians 13:13 it says that faith, hope, and love last forever and are eternal. Hope can be difficult to look forward to when we are faced with the trials of life. This Bible study will take the author's own journey through a hope crisis and turn it into a story that brings hope and healing to those who participate in this study.

The author will take the reader on a journey through a devotional, and provide life application questions designed for reflection and journaling each week. Every week there is a memory verse with activities to help the reader further study and understand what God's Word says about hope. There are also discussion questions provided for

 The People and the Situation As was first mentioned in my ministry group project proposal, the group I chose was my own small group. When the project first started, it consisted of roughly 10 men and women, most members of my Southern Baptist church who meet weekly to suss through the week’s sermon together. Interestingly enough, most of us had been raised in some semblance of a Christian home, though our experience within that “Christian” community varied.…

    3.3. Andrew Root - Place-sharing youth ministry Andrew Root of Luther Seminary conducted his PhD on Incarnational Perspectives of ministry, and has since become an authority figure on the topic in ministry. Like Ward, Root believes relationships are central to ministry. However, whereas Ward believes relationships serve as a platform to ‘share the Good News about Jesus with young people’ (1992:32), Root sees the relationship itself as the final goal (2004:99). Root criticises the views of thinkers like Ward and Borgman for using the incarnation as a ‘strategy of influence’ (2013:43-44) and epistemological leverage (2004:99).…

    1. After reading through chapters 6-9 of our Everyday Bible Study text it is made very clear to us that God himself wrote the Bible. As the text says Paul stated that “All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”. 2. When we think about how God inspired the Bible we see that Paul states that the Bible is “inspired by God” which is translated into the Greek word “Theopneustos” which means “breathed-out from God”.…

    Hope is a savior and a guide for it’s host. Two authors give their opinion about the meaning of hope. Emily Dickinson the poet of “XXXII” demonstrates a fantasy relationship between humanity and hope. However, McCarthy the author of a novel The Road, illustrates how humanity needs hope because without it humans would be lost. Although both McCarthy and Emily view hope as a comfort for humanity, McCarthy has a more realistic view of hope because he doesn’t romanticize how vulnerable hope is, therefore; hope needs to be nourished in order to be maintain.…

    Support Group Observation

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…

    Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to make that work happen, we have to develop disciplines that will take root in our lives, so that Christ will ultimately change us and grow us as we seek to follow and please him. This paper is going to be a book review of Donald S. Whitney’s book, “Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life”. Whitney dives into the subject of spiritual disciplines and looks to scripture bringing up many key points that make the easy to understand for the reader and he gives practical understanding for the different disciplines.…
