FELLOWSHIPS WITH BIBLE STUDY

 

FELLOWSHIPS WITH BIBLE STUDY

Introduction

Lack of the right values, purpose, and proper role models in the society had lead many youth and families into illusions that temporarily gratify them but end in a much directionless and meaningless life. Youth Fellowships and Family Fellowships shall help to know God and the purpose of life in God, nurturing to be salt and light for impacting the society by righty understanding the Bible and doing what is right.

 

Fellowships 

The people who had known Christ and who were concerned about introducing Christ and Godly values in the lives of people who are in need, shall do it through the biblical principles by weekly meetings and personal mentoring. 

Fellowships shall support in the Career by supporting and guiding the participants in their passion through the various professionals who are part of it.  There is a scope and support for the participants to become leaders and encourage themselves to conduct activities for their co-participants according to their needs. 

 

Personal and Group Bible Study

Beautiful, Best and Believable Book forever is 'BIBLE'. It’s a Big and Bountiful manual for everyone from Majesty as a manual for the machine from Manufacturer. It's because Man's Mind always Muddle and Fiddle but BIBLE always manifest all Folding’s.

Personal Bible Study helps us to avoid Major Misinterpretations. We shall understand that the interpretation of the Bible does not merely depend on experts or even authoritative interpreters once we start interpreting it rightly by ourselves. Personal Bible Study will help us to understand the bible ourselves and grow in maturity as that of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We understand that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16”

God speaks to people throughout the history of generations, from Adam to the people of our present world.  Though God spoke, speaks, and could speak through many ways such as Nature/ Creation, Voice, Vision, Situation, People, and other incomprehensible ways, God speaks primarily through the Scriptures. The Bible is our authority in all matters of faith and conduct, and God who had spelled the things through the Bible is unchanging forever. The perspective of every one of us differs based on our own exposure and background, so there is a great possibility of being misled and misinterpretation when we fail to acknowledge the different things with a passion for God and God’s Word. Studying the Best Book personally as well as together in small groups very carefully without prejudices enhances our understanding of God’s word, widens our perspective about God and different things, provides a joyful and transformational life, and makes us useful to others defining our purposes in God. 

 

Way of Working 

Youth and Family Fellowships shall be started with the weekly or two weeks once bible study in a home /church for a street/ area/ village after finalizing the day, timing, and place that is convenient to everyone who is existent. It could be started with even 2 youth/ families and efforts shall be put to add more members by casual relationships with everyone in the locality.

All the youth above 15 years shall participate in the Youth Fellowships.  The believers who are married and the unmarried individuals above 35 years shall participate in the Family Fellowships. Every believing member in the group shall take turns one week after another to lead the Fellowship with Group Bible Study.

An Introductory meeting for an hour shall be conducted to the believers to introduce about observing Quiet time (Resource Link: https://thingsthattriumph.blogspot.com/2020/12/quiet-time.html ) and Purpose of Fellowships with Bible Study.

A Personal and Group Bible Study Workshop shall be conducted to help the believers to lead the Bible Study. It would help to understand about the Bible and the importance of it. It would also know the things to consider while understanding the bible in order to rightly apply and how to study in groups effectively. The workshop shall preliminarily take 7 hours and further learning is possible continually.

Extension of Works

Two or more Youth and Family Fellowships that are associated with one another shall plan for some special gathering / Conference / Bible quiz competition rarely, yearly once. Youth and Family Fellowships in a Cluster of villages or areas shall meet together at least 3 months once to have a time of get-together. 

Networking with the other Bible-centered Organizations or Fellowships who have specific target participants like students, professionals shall be done for those people in the fellowship to get more benefited.

 

Conclusion

In most of the places the Youth and Family fellowships are initiated but not regular/ not growing as it is completely dependent on the person who leads it. When every believer in the Fellowship takes leadership and shares their thoughts by understanding the bible aright, then there would be greater learning and regularity and gradually there would be a cascading effect. Every believer would be able to teach the unbelievers who are associated with them. Gradually, the teachings that are contrary to the Bible, can be eliminated. The binding and unity between the people increases and many good works can be done by maximum utilization of resources.
