Getting the Most Out of The Heart of Racial Justice Bible StudyKNOWING CHRIST is where faith begins. From there we are shaped through the essentials of discipleship: Bible study, prayer, Christian community, worship, and much more. We learn to grow in Christlike character, pursue justice, and share our faith with others. We persevere through doubts and gain wisdom for daily life. These are the topics woven into the IVP Signature Bible Studies. Working through this series will help you practice the essentials by exploring biblical truths found in classic books.
HOW IT’S PUT TOGETHER
Each session includes an opening quotation and suggested reading from the book The Heart of Racial Justice, a session goal to help guide your study, reflection questions to stir your thoughts on the topic, the text of the Bible passage, questions for exploring the passage, response questions to help you apply what you’ve learned, and a closing suggestion for prayer.
The workbook format is ideal for personal study and also allows group members to prepare in advance for discussions and record discussion notes. The responses you write here can form a permanent record of your thoughts and spiritual progress.
Throughout the guide are study-note sidebars that may be useful for group leaders or individuals. These notes do not give the answers, but they do provide additional background information on certain questions and can challenge participants to think deeper or differently about the content.
WHAT KIND OF GUIDE IS THIS?
The studies are not designed to merely tell you what one person thinks. Instead, through inductive study, they will help you discover for yourself what Scripture is saying. Each study deals with a particular passage—rather than jumping around the Bible—so that you can really delve into the biblical author’s meaning in that context.
The studies ask three different kinds of questions about the Bible passage:
Observation questions help you to understand the content of the passage by asking about the basic facts: who, what, when, where, and how.
Interpretation questions delve into the meaning of the passage.
Application questions help you discover implications for growing in Christ in your own life.
These three keys unlock the treasures of the biblical writings and help you live them out.
This is a thought-provoking
