15 Minute Bible Study
Pathway Points
Stepping Up for Jesus
And…it’s the Holidays! Stressed yet? It always seems that once we
get to Thanksgiving that it’s a fast trip to Christmas and New Year’s. It’s
also seems that, in the rush, time for Bible study gets shorter and shorter. If
that’s sounds like you, don’t give up! I recently got an email from
flourishgathering.com with a suggested technique for going deep in just 15
minutes that I want to share with you.
1.
Read your favorite devotional—There’s “Our Daily Bread” available
at each campus and there will be Advent devotionals available at each of the
Welcome Centers starting on December 3rd.
2.
Open your Bible and read the entire chapter for context—Most
devotionals offer a short passage, sometimes only a verse, printed with the
daily devotion. Take a moment to dig a little deeper by opening your Bible and
reading the entire chapter.
3.
Journal—This can be as simple or as complex as you have time for
that day. You can write out a key verse, a short phrase to remind you of what
you read, or a question or two that you thought of while reading.
4.
Pray—End your time in prayer. Offer God praise and thanksgiving,
confess, and pray for yourself and others. Finally, take a moment to listen.
Stepping up with you in His strength!
