Single-session Bible study on Encouragement. 3 pages.

Would you step out of a plane, hang onto a strut, and then let go? Thousands of skydivers do it every year. Why do they take the risk? Because they have trained and have made a conscious commitment to the sport, with full knowledge of the risks involved. 

Do you step out of your bed each morning, hang onto your faith, and let go...let God? As soon as you step out of bed, the risks are there - tension, conflict, weariness and suffering. Christian living is risky. How can you “jump” into life, trusting Him with all the uncertainties in your life? Let’s compare the steps involved in two “risky” activities - jumping out of airplanes and “jumping” into Christian living.

Go Ahead, Jump!

Single-session Bible study on Freedom, the Fourth of July. 3 pages.

The greatest freedom we have is not secular, but spiritual. But unlike the secular freedom that we have just by being born in this country — or moving here — our spiritual lives were born into bondage. Those who believe in Christ are the only ones that have true freedom. Jesus’ blood has set us free. We are no longer prisoners to sin, death or the law as the way to being right with God.

Single-session Bible study on Spiritual Growth, Christian Living. 2 pages.

In public education, the pendulum of education reform swings back and forth, trying new curricula and new approaches, hoping to improve student retention. In the church, we have our source – the Bible – and our approach – constant study, assimilation, and application of His Word as we gather with other believers in the Divine Service and as we feast on the very body and blood or our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, given and shed for each of us for the forgiveness of our sins, the assurance of our salvation and the strengthening of our faith. Used diligently and unceasingly, they are designed to prevent us from being dropouts. So how do we proceed?

Single-session Bible study on Making Decisions, Trust. 2 pages.

Most of us change homes multiple times in our lives. We start with our first move from our parents’ house, whether we are going to college, getting married, or starting our first career. Then there may be a transfer to another town, a need for a bigger home, downsizing empty-nesters, or the addition of a vacation home in our future. Whatever the case, moves are always a bit frantic. 

Can you imagine leaving your home and not even having an exact destination in mind? Read about Abram’s move in Genesis 12:1-9.

Single-session Bible study on Christian Living, James. 3 pages.

This is a study on some of our attitudes, actions, words, and reactions examining some verses from the book of James. We will particularly focus on our listening skills, our chosen words, and our envious and selfish attitude. Think about Job; he didn’t blame God. At times he felt a little worry for himself, but he never stopped trusting God. What does God say in the Bible and what does He expect us to do and say?

Single-session Bible study on God's Bounty, Provision. 5 pages.

Have you heard the song “El Shaddai”? So, what does God’s name, El Shaddai, mean? It is a Hebrew compound word that literally means “The All-Sufficient One” and is usually translated in our English Bibles as “Almighty God,” “the Almighty,” or “God Almighty.” If we translate the Hebrew words we have a very beautiful, and possibly never thought of, picture and name of our bountiful God.

The Apostle Paul tells us to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It is easy to give God thanks for His blessings and for sending His son, Jesus to die for our sins. But can you honestly say that you give thanks in all of your circumstances, good or bad?
