Bible Studies and Sermon Notes
Included below is a sample selection of small group Bible studies and suggested sermon series which distinctively emphasise the whole-life perspective. They will give you an impression of how you can practically present these ideas in your context and use Bible studies or sermon series to relevantly consider the issues and challenges of people's everyday lives. Feel free to use them or develop them as you think best.
In due course we will be adding further Bible studies and sermon notes so please do return here.
