This study guides the student
through the inductive Bible study methodology as a means of valuable
training. The study focuses
on the message for Philemon and the Christian church in the city of
Colossae. The in-depth
two week course covers the many dimensions of inductive study and
this shorter lesson will challenge beginning or advanced students of
the Bible.
The study provides several options for the
lessons. The student could complete the observation questions
followed by application questions, or complete the remainder of the
lesson for an in-depth study. Students could also study some of
the portions of the lesson beyond the observation
questions, including many word studies from the original Greek text. The study also offers a reflective
time in Scripture every day addressing the
lifestyle of those who follow after Christ and then ends with a time of worship. When a group is meeting
weekly to discuss the lessons, each student will benefit from the
review discussion suggested by possibilities in the accompanying
leader’s guide.
