Youth Bible Study

These studies are designed for individual and group use. Their purpose is to guide the study of God’s word by providing questions and related scriptures as a starting point for exploring and examining the Word of God. Hopefully, they will prompt further questions and more in-depth study and discussion.

Guidelines: for older students
Teachers could use the studies as assignments to be answered before the group lesson on the topic, so that students are prepared and have some insight into the subject before they are called upon to participate in a group discussion on the topic.

For younger students
Teachers could work through the questions during the lesson, calling on students to read each pertinent passage. Other children could then be asked to comment on the passage in light of the scriptures and/or pose other questions that come to mind.
Groups could be formed with each group being assigned the task of searching the scriptures and finding answers for one or more questions and then reporting to the whole class on their discoveries.
A teacher could create cards with the verses and play a jeopardy- type game where the students are given the scripture and then asked to identify the question.

Individual Study
Young people and adults could use the questions and key scriptures box to guide their personal study and as a tool in marking and cross-referencing their Bible.

Bibles:
For younger students it is good to use a common modern language version of the bible so that all the children can follow along with the reading in the same version.
Older children might enjoy using a variety of translations and could gain experience in the scriptures by comparing and contrasting the different versions.

Passover Apocrypha

by on Mar.14, 2010, under Reader's Theater

Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: Passover Apocrypha Reader 1: I had a dream last night that we were back in Egypt. It all seemed so real. The time has gone so quickly, it is hard to believe that it was really forty years ago! Reader 2: Do you know the thing I remember most about Egypt? And no, it’s not the leeks and cucumbers. I was just a little guy then, being carried on my Dad’s shoulders and I remember seeing for the first time the huge flame of fire that seemed to be leading the immense caravan of people that was moving in front of me…
