Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. We will look at several aspects of this below. The word we use for the relationship we have with other believers is “fellowship” (Acts 2:42). He uses our brothers and sisters in Christ to strengthen us and help us to follow Him. God knows that we are weak and need all the help we can get in our Christian life. In Proverbs 13:20 we learn, “ He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Peer pressure is very strong (1 Corinthians 15:33). If we hang out with the wrong crowd our fall into sin is even more likely. If we try to “go it alone” we will likely fall. The world is full of temptations and pressure to do wrong.

I sincerely hope you all have found a bit of a nugget here in this blog at some point this past year about the Book of Matthew. I will be posting later this week some suggested summer Bible Studies (as well as what I intend to do right here if you all want to follow along). I hope you all found it as transformative as I did and learned about God, His Son, and His plans, and grew with Him. *As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.īible Study Fellowship (BSF) is winding down, and we are about to leave the Book of Matthew behind. Here’s a nifty video of this approach from BSF HERE Finally, you’ll read about the passage and read Bible commentary for other great insights into the Bible passages’ meaning. You will then listen to a lecture prepared by the teaching leader of your class that will further dive into the meaning of the passage and pose questions that may help you dive deeper into the Bible passage’s meaning to you. You will then meet with your group, going over the questions and gathering further insight to the passage based on what others have discovered. This features questions that will help you to understand the passage better and explore what it means to you. You begin with a Bible lesson that covers a particular passage. Many people wonder, “How does Bible Study Fellowship work?” Perhaps, they have heard of it or have friends who participate, and they want to join.īible Study Fellowship, or BSF, takes a four-fold approach to its Bible study: Or, do your lesson and skip class and the lecture for a week if getting out is too hard. Go to class without your lesson completed. You’ll get over the hump, and you’ll be glad you stuck with it. And, in the midst of life’s struggles, sometimes we don’t want to hear from God (when that’s exactly the time we need to hear from Him).īut, despite all of this, hang in there. You are growing with God, but you often don’t feel like you are. Thirty weeks of Bible Study is hard, rough, challenging, and tiring. I’m here to tell you that I’m feeling this way, too. You are struggling and bitter against God.You are being taken out of your comfort zone by God.Right about now is the time many people leave BSF (Bible Study Fellowship).
