LIFE group discussion guides
Listed by scripture text
Each study guide includes a series of questions based on a scripture text. It is designed to be printed two-sided like a booklet that fits into a Bible.
These studies provide discussion starters for groups or Bible classes, but they could also be used for personal study. The guides were written for our congregation, so some questions may not fit your situation. You should still find plenty of material to facilitate a great conversation.
Feel free to use and adapt these guides - that's why they are here. If you make edits, please send me your "new & improved" version. I would love to learn from your feedback!
