1 | 30 minute fun bible study for couples | 2 Tim 2:15 | Hank | 168205 | ||
Doug, if the "one-night 30-minute fun Bible study" that you are seeking were truly unique, it would mean that no one has ever done it before! And that's unlikely. If you'd be willing to settle for something that is rare this days, but not unique, why not form a circle of the four couples, supply each person with a Bible in a translation common to all, and beginning with Luke's Gospel have each person in turn read aloud a verse, and so proceed around the circle until the allotted 30 minutes are up. I can't guarantee that your guests will break up with roaring laughter, but some of them just might discover that plain old Bible reading is fun in the loftiest possible sense of the word. ..... I'm not unaware that there are some Bible "fun games" such as "Bible Trivia" but I do not recommend using God's precious word as a backdrop for silly parlor games. Hence, I am not particularly fond of the term "fun Bible study." 2 Timothy 3:16 lists four distinct ways in which the Bible is profitable, but "having fun" with it is not one of them! Thanks for your question, Doug. --Hank | ||||||
2 | 30 minute fun bible study for couples | 2 Tim 2:15 | Just Read Mark | 168206 | ||
Doug... I, too, am not sure what you think of as "fun." This might be totally weird as a structured Bible study, but I bring it up, because it sparked a very interesting discussion with some teenagers I work with. There's been some discussion on this forum about 1 Corinthians chapter 7... it's a whole chapter on whether to remain single or get married. It is actually a great discussion starter. A teenager was griping about being dumped by his girlfriend, and I told him it was just as well, because Paul emphasizes the good in singleness. It lead to a great conversation, as different teens piped in with their stories and experiences. The verses talk about sexuality, faithfulness, holiness. About the burdens of responsibility that can prevent us from being effective for the Kingdom. About the goal of being active for the mission of the church, and evaluating relationships in terms of that goal. I can think of MANY fascinating questions, that would bring scripture and life together. You'd get to know each other, and the Word, much better. This text really makes people think, whether married or single. May be totally inappropriate for your context, but it was good for us. JRM |
