Love is a very popular word. We hear a lot about it in our culture. Everybody needs love. Everybody wants to get that valentine that Charlie Brown is always waiting for at the mailbox. Well, you and I are in luck. We do have a valentine waiting for us — a love letter from God just waiting for us to open and read it. 

This Bible study takes a closer look at Ruth and Naomi's story in the book of Ruth.

God Above All Gods

Single-session Bible study on Almighty God. 2 pages.

The world has many false ideas about God. For example, it doesn’t matter which religion you follow; we all believe in the same God. Or, there are many gods and you can choose the one that is right for you. The Bible tells us that the Triune God is a God above all gods. Who is this God above other gods?

Gold, Frankincense and Me!

Single-session Bible study on Christmas, Epiphany, Mites and Missions. 2 pages. Leader Guide available.

The night Jesus was born God gave the world the greatest gift it would ever receive. The gift of the newborn King came in a humble beginning, showing no signs of royalty. Yet wise men went to great lengths to come and worship Jesus and present Him with treasured gifts. With great faith they simply believed Him to be the Savior and worshipped Him. 

Over 2000 years have passed since the night Jesus was born. Yet, we still celebrate His birth. The joy we receive in knowing Christ came as our Savior is shared as we exchange gifts with each other. We also give to the poor and needy. We give to our family and friends. “Wish lists” are complied and special gifts are selected. But what “gift” do we give to our Savior?

Go Tell It

Single-session Bible study on Discipleship, Witnessing. 3 pages.

“Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere.” These words could have been sung by the prophet Isaiah some 800 years before Christ. These words are also the job description of God’s people today. As members of a missionary organization, let us learn more from God’s Word on how to be better missionaries of Jesus Christ to our sin-dying world. Through this Bible study, you will gain a better understanding of witnessing and be equipped to witness in the power of the Holy Spirit as stated in Acts 1:8, You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.

This Bible study will guide your group through ways to witness to others using the Word of God, personal experience and sample situations.

Educated in Christ

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?

Go Ahead, Jump!

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!

Bountiful Abundance

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.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words — Sometimes

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?

A Private Line

Single-session Bible study on Personal Spirituality, Prayer. 2 pages.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a private phone line that would work perfectly every time? A phone that we could take everywhere and use anywhere, a phone with no more wrong numbers, no more busy signals, no more answering machines, no more having no one answer the phone, no more being put on hold, no more high phone bills, no more static on the line, and no more being transferred back and forth. 

Each of us has our own private line to the Greatest Listener of all times. This private phone line can go anywhere and work everywhere. We will NEVER get a busy signal; NEVER the wrong number; NEVER an answering machine; NEVER a transfer; NEVER any static. We will ALWAYS get the right number; ALWAYS get an answer; and ALWAYS find someone with time to listen. By now, I’m sure that you have figured out that this amazing phone line is PRAYER. PRAYER is simply talking to God.

A New Spring Wardrobe

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

In the spring, new fashions fill magazines and advertisements, tempting us to open our pocketbooks to wear the latest trends and colors. No one wants to be wearing the wrong, yesterday style or passé design. Television programs are filled with advice suggesting how to update homes, yards, hairstyles, and wardrobes. One successful show, What Not to Wear, completed a ten-year run on a cable network before ending in 2013. The premise of the show was to have friends and family nominate someone for a fashion make-over. The nominee surrendered her entire existing wardrobe to the producers of the show and was given thousands of dollars to spend on new clothes and guidelines to use when shopping. Very few ever refused the opportunity to make the change. 

Do you ever feel that someone might nominate you for a spiritual make-over? Are you living in a worn-out, frumpy rut of Christianity? Do you need to look for new and exciting updates in your life with Christ?
