Subject: 30 minute fun bible study for couples |
Bible Note: 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 |
