Explore the Bible: Students Personal Study Guide - NIV

The Explore the Bible: Students Personal Study Guide - NIV (eBook) helps students engage in group and personal Bible study. The Summer 2018 study on 2 Samuel concludes the story of David who became God’s most faithful king and yet rebelled against God, resulting in the fracturing of his kingdom. The first part of the book tells of David’s faithful and heroic work in unifying Israel under his rule, highlighting the young king’s faithfulness, humility, and compassion. The second half finds David giving into temptation and committing some horrific sins that had devastated the nation of Israel and David’s immediate family. Most importantly, 2 Samuel tells of God’s promise to establish a king from the line of David whose rule would never be compromised by sin and who would reign in justice for all eternity. As we wrap up the story of king David, students will be challenged both to imitate David’s humility and faithfulness and learn from his weakness and pride. Through the story of David, students will see how devastating our sinful desires can be if we fail to submit them to King Jesus. Ultimately students will be compelled to look to Jesus both to forgive them of their sins and to empower them lead a lifestyle of repentance and faith.Features:   ·13 studies covering 1-2 Corinthians that guide students to study the Bible individually and as a group.   ·Explore the Bible Students also trains students to study the Bible for themselves, understanding the Bible in their context so that they can apply the Bible to their context.   ·Includes study questions, Scripture memory, and a Bible reading plan through 1-2 Corinthians.   ·Each Session of the Personal Study Guide includes a Personal Challenge and Keep on Digging section.        ·The Personal Challenge calls students to actively apply what they are studying.        ·The Keep on Digging section encourages students to keep on studying the Bible on their own time.   ·Includes a simple and easy-to-use Bible reading method for students: The 7 Arrows of Bible Reading.
