When Was the last Time You Taught a Bible Study?

3. What is the topic of the study?
4. Is the study weekly?
5. Is the study "canned", or something of your own making?

Someone just asked me what everyone is using. I thought maybe you would be willing to help me out.

I use a variety of materials.

1. A few months ago (though I also preached at last month's men's breakfast).
2. From a pulpit in a room off the sanctuary (that's where we hold the Wednesday night Bible Study).
3. I don't remember. When I get to my computer at home, I can look up the notes.
4. The Wednesday night Bible Studies often have a different topic each week. Sometimes one of the elders or our new pastor (who was one of the elders) might do a series over the course of a few weeks.
5. We don't use "canned" Bible Studies, we each study things out for ourselves.

This does not, by the way, include the Sunday School class I teach from time to time (third, fourth and fifth graders).

Its been about 2 weeks ago.

It was on Paltalk.com a voice activated chat room.

The topic was The History And Mystery Of God.

Of late I have been having about 1 session per week depending who shows up. I have had as few as ZERO and as many as 50-60.

This particular teaching is one I have been giving for about 25 years but it is as fresh as when I first taught it at least to me.

Satuday night. I'll be teaching another Thursday.

I'm ashamed to say I have never taught one, but my pastor teaches about 5 a week in peoples homes. He uses Exploring God's word. Every year starting in January he teaches it on Wed night bible study to the church. He does an awesome job. I just don't feel qualified.

What would make you feel unqualified?

I think alot of it is that I have always been involved in the music program in my church. I have never taught Sunday School, so in the teaching aspect of it I feel unqualified. As far as knowing the scripture I feel confident in that. I guess you could say a lack of self confidence to go into someone's home that I do not know.
