Single-session Bible study on Love, Christian Living. 3 pages.

Think of a time when there was love all around you. If you have been to a LWML national or district convention, you would have experienced love all around. People smiled and were helpful, concerned, caring, and happy. They were encouraged to share the Gospel and God’s love. They were sharing stories of love while planning acts of love. On returning home the women shared stories of kindness, love, and caring that they had experienced, and spiritual insights that they had gained. The women excitedly told how their love for God was going to be shared through the funding of missions with Mite Boxes. 

This is a mountain-top experience. Perhaps you have had a different mountain-top experience of being surrounded by love that you would like to share. 

After these mountain-top experiences, we come back to the valley, the everyday life where, as the apostle John says, the whole world is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19b NIV). It is more difficult to share God’s love with those who make fun of Christians; those who are mean-spirited towards us; and those whose lives revolve around themselves. In everyday life there are distractions and discouragements along with demands on our time and resources. We are not always surrounded by others who encourage us to share God’s love. 

How do we surround people in the “valley” with love?

Single-session Bible study on Love, Valentine's Day. 4 pages.

Love is a very popular word. We hear a lot about it in our culture. Everybody needs love. Everybody wants to get that valentine that Charlie Brown is always waiting for at the mailbox. Well, you and I are in luck. We do have a valentine waiting for us — a love letter from God just waiting for us to open and read it. 

This Bible study takes a closer look at Ruth and Naomi's story in the book of Ruth.

Single-session Bible study on Almighty God. 2 pages.

The world has many false ideas about God. For example, it doesn’t matter which religion you follow; we all believe in the same God. Or, there are many gods and you can choose the one that is right for you. The Bible tells us that the Triune God is a God above all gods. Who is this God above other gods?

Single-session Bible study on Christmas, Epiphany, Mites and Missions. 2 pages. Leader Guide available.

The night Jesus was born God gave the world the greatest gift it would ever receive. The gift of the newborn King came in a humble beginning, showing no signs of royalty. Yet wise men went to great lengths to come and worship Jesus and present Him with treasured gifts. With great faith they simply believed Him to be the Savior and worshipped Him. 

Over 2000 years have passed since the night Jesus was born. Yet, we still celebrate His birth. The joy we receive in knowing Christ came as our Savior is shared as we exchange gifts with each other. We also give to the poor and needy. We give to our family and friends. “Wish lists” are complied and special gifts are selected. But what “gift” do we give to our Savior?

Single-session Bible study on Discipleship, Witnessing. 3 pages.

“Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere.” These words could have been sung by the prophet Isaiah some 800 years before Christ. These words are also the job description of God’s people today. As members of a missionary organization, let us learn more from God’s Word on how to be better missionaries of Jesus Christ to our sin-dying world. Through this Bible study, you will gain a better understanding of witnessing and be equipped to witness in the power of the Holy Spirit as stated in Acts 1:8, You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.

This Bible study will guide your group through ways to witness to others using the Word of God, personal experience and sample situations.

Single-session Bible study on Encouragement. 3 pages.

Would you step out of a plane, hang onto a strut, and then let go? Thousands of skydivers do it every year. Why do they take the risk? Because they have trained and have made a conscious commitment to the sport, with full knowledge of the risks involved. 

Do you step out of your bed each morning, hang onto your faith, and let go...let God? As soon as you step out of bed, the risks are there - tension, conflict, weariness and suffering. Christian living is risky. How can you “jump” into life, trusting Him with all the uncertainties in your life? Let’s compare the steps involved in two “risky” activities - jumping out of airplanes and “jumping” into Christian living.

Single-session Bible study on Spiritual Growth, Christian Living. 2 pages.

In public education, the pendulum of education reform swings back and forth, trying new curricula and new approaches, hoping to improve student retention. In the church, we have our source – the Bible – and our approach – constant study, assimilation, and application of His Word as we gather with other believers in the Divine Service and as we feast on the very body and blood or our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, given and shed for each of us for the forgiveness of our sins, the assurance of our salvation and the strengthening of our faith. Used diligently and unceasingly, they are designed to prevent us from being dropouts. So how do we proceed?

Single-session Bible study on Freedom, the Fourth of July. 3 pages.

The greatest freedom we have is not secular, but spiritual. But unlike the secular freedom that we have just by being born in this country — or moving here — our spiritual lives were born into bondage. Those who believe in Christ are the only ones that have true freedom. Jesus’ blood has set us free. We are no longer prisoners to sin, death or the law as the way to being right with God.

Single-session Bible study on Making Decisions, Trust. 2 pages.

Most of us change homes multiple times in our lives. We start with our first move from our parents’ house, whether we are going to college, getting married, or starting our first career. Then there may be a transfer to another town, a need for a bigger home, downsizing empty-nesters, or the addition of a vacation home in our future. Whatever the case, moves are always a bit frantic. 

Can you imagine leaving your home and not even having an exact destination in mind? Read about Abram’s move in Genesis 12:1-9.
