DISCOVERY BIBLE STUDY TRAINING

Use the Discovery Bible Study method below to dive deeper into God's Word for understanding and application.

WELCOME

Welcome and Quick Conversation Starters:

1. What are you thankful for?
2. What are you struggling with?

WARM-UP

Next, form an “I will...” statement for the following accountability questions. Notice that this will begin being utilized the second time you meet. If this is your first meeting, respond to the question with how you will obey this week and who will you share this with. Then move on to the Bible reading. Readers need to answer these questions in the form of an “I will... statement.” (I will choose to trust God in frustrating situations in my life or sport.)

1. How did you obey last week?

2. Who did you share with?

WORKOUT

Read Acts 1:8-11 for this section.

Read the passage aloud while everyone follows along with their eyes.

Read the passage a second time, but this time close your eyes and listen.

Together, retell the story in as much detail as you can without looking at the Bible.

Now, look back at these Scriptures and answer the following questions. Be sure to reference the specific verse in your answer (for example, John 1:1 says that the Word was God and was with God).

5. What does this say about God?

6. What does this say about people?

WRAP UP

Consider the truths about God and the people that you wrote down. How can you take action this week in the form of an “I will...” statement.

7. By God’s grace how will you obey God’s Word this week?

Ask God what truth He wants you to focus on.

Write a one-sentence, “I will…” statement capturing this conviction.

8. Who will you share this Scripture passage with this week?

Pray and ask God who needs to hear this.

Write down one name and be intentional about sharing this passage with them.
