The ”Magic, Astrology, Demon Worship and Necromancy Bible Study for Small Groups” Now Available.
Saul and the Witch of Endor. By Allston, Washington. 1820. Oil on canvas. Canvas: 34 5/16 x 47 1/8 in.; 87.1538 x 119.6975 cm (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I just made the ”Magic, Astrology, Demon Worship and Necromancy Bible Study for Small Groups” available.
There is a lot of information out there about these ideas or concepts. Some say there is no such things. Some say this and that are evil and this and that is actually okay because… Some say that everything is an evil trying to get you and the world is a scary place where you have to avoid everything but the church bulding. And so on, and so on. There is a need to really look at what God as to say through the Bible and how He has instructed us to act.
The studies are created to use the same discovery concepts the S.E.A. of Galilee Fellowship uses for all studies:
S = SCRIPTURE; read and discuss a passage
E = EXPLANATION; look at questions that help explore and discover what the passage is really saying (what God is saying through this particular passage to mankind, to your household and specifically to you)
A = APPLICATION; participants make a commitment to take action on what was revealed as what God wants from us through the study (the teaching them to obey from The Great Commission.
The studies are designed for leadership to be done by a person who is facilitating the study and not by a teacher etc. the facilitators main job is to get everyone involved in the discussion for each question.
The other task the facilitator has is to teach the group to lovingly ask “Where do you see that in this passage” if someone brings up something that is not related to the passage being discussed or some perceived heresy.
The actual page for this study is: https://seaofgalilee.wordpress.com/s-e-a-of-galilee-fellowship-bible-study-outlines/magic-astrology-demon-worship-and-necromancy-bible-study-for-small-groups/
The study can be accessed directly as a PDF file by clicking https://seaofgalilee.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/magic-astrology-demon-worship-and-necromancy-bible-study.pdf
You can print the PDF file from there or you can go back and forth to the page for reference as needed.
Be blessed and seek first the kingdom,

One Another/Each Other Bible Study for Small Groups Available
I just made the “One Another/Each Other Bible Study for Small Groups” available.
With Christ’s statements about what the greatest commandments are it seems immensely important to look at the details of what the Bible tells us about interacting with “one another” as that is the clear defining of what it is to love your neighbor and also the definition of what it means to not be loving your neighbor.

The Discovering Church Planters and Missionaries of the New Testament Bible Study – NOW AVAILABLE
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I just posted the Discovering Church Planters and Missionaries of the New Testament Bible Study as a free download in a PDF format.
This discovery study outline was designed for studying what the Bible actually shows us about Chruch Planting and missions work. This study goes through the churches of the New Testament for our example of what we are supposed to be doing and how we are supposed to be doing it.
This is aimed at more mature Christians who are getting ready to work in a larger capacity as a church planter, as a missionary or a minister of some sort. It is a feirly intensive study with slightly longer passages than usual and can be used in stictly small group settings or can be used as part of a class that does small group breakout sessions and discussions as well as class discussion.
This study is not designed to be just about learning however, the focus is on going from learning, to doing to living a lifestyle of a church planer or of a missionary..

The Study Guide is rather large and may take a minute to download or print.

Prayer Bible Study Outline For Small Groups
I just completed the “Prayer Bible Study for Small Groups”.
This discovery study outline was designed for studying what the Bible actually says about prayer. This study covers what prayer is and isnt’t, what it takes to get prayers answered, what might block some prayers, what makes good prayers and not good prayers, how to pray etc. while still focussing on the teaching and leading of the Holy Spirit.
This topic is so key to everything we do and to our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father that it seems like it is a tremandously important study to undertake for all of us and to allow ourselves to be changed by. IF YOU FAIL TO PRAY; IT IS ALMOST LIKE PRAYING TO FAIL!
This study is not designed to be just about learning however, the focus is on going from learning, to doing to living a lifestyle of prayer.
The studies are created to use the same discovery concepts the S.E.A. of Galilee Fellowship uses for all studies:
S = SCRIPTURE; read and discuss a passage
E = EXPLANATION; look at questions that help explore and discover what the passage is really saying (what God is saying through this particular passage to mankind, to your household and specifically to you)
A = APPLICATION; participants make a commitment to take action on what was revealed as what God wants from us through the study (the teaching them to obey from The Great Commission.

The other task the facilitator has is to teach the group to lovingly ask “Where do you see that in this passage” if someone brings up something that is not related to the passage being discussed or some perceived heresy.
The webpage where the study is found can be accesed by clicking https://seaofgalilee.wordpress.com/prayer-bible-study-outline-for-small-groups/
The actual study itself can be accessed by clicking https://seaofgalilee.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/prayer-bible-study.pdf

I pray that your praying and prayers will be blessed and inspired of God,

“Church Bible Study for Small Groups” is now available
In a time where statistics, magazines and the people who are experts at church information are all saying that the church as we have known it is in trouble it seems like it is important to see if the “church as we have known it” is truly the only way that God said church is to be done.
The implication is that we need to also look if God gave us instructions that might lead us to experience church some other way. The key question is not what I am comfortable with, or my denomination says church is supposed to be or even what my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents said it was to be like. What does God say and what does God want right now in this day and age?
This study is designed to help small groups explore that question by studying passages talking about the New Testament concept of church or related topics. With whatever the Holy Spirit reveals through the scriptures we have to ask ourselves if I am more focussed on my way or God’s best for the here and now. Is God my co-pilot or pilot. If God is your co-pilot, you desperately need to change seats.
These studies are designed to be done in a small group context with a facilitator and led by the Holy Spirit. That means leadership only involves facilitation by one of the participants as the group discusses the passage using the S.E.A. of Galilee Fellowship discovery methods. The facilitators main job is to get everyone involved in the discussion for each question.
- S = SCRIPTURE; read and discuss a passage
- E = EXPLANATION; look at questions that help explore and discover what the passage is really saying (what God is saying through this particular passage to mankind, to your household and specifically to you)
- A = APPLICATION; participants make a commitment to take action on what was revealed as what God wants from us through the study (the teaching them to obey from The Great Commission.
The other task the facilitator has is to teach the group to lovingly ask “Where do you see that in this passage” if someone brings up something that is not related to the passage being discussed or some perceived heresy.
