My belief is that there are many resources that are available on Bible application and living with faith principles, so that my purpose for teaching an Adult Bible Class is an in-depth study of God's word. In my class, we select a book of the Bible and do a verse by verse study of its history, its context and its meaning. We do apply the meaning to today, but our focus is to make sure that we read, study and discuss God's word as revealed in the Holy Scripture. We use very limited study guides in class but spend our time reading God's Word.

The class itself

Our class is a 60's and above class but we do not age-limit the Class.  It is primarily a couples class, but we do have single men and women who attend and are as much a part of the class as any other members. Our members come from many faith traditions, among them are Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Catholic. We may even have a few Church of God members, who are all now strong contributing members of this church of faith in Dawson County Georgia. Our members come from all walks of life and blend to make a great class of brothers and sisters in Christ.

These Lessons are taught to a normal class of 35 to 50 adults each Sunday and you will hear questions, comments, and some normal banter that takes place in the class. It is a free and open class for discussion and questions. Open your Bible and join in !

Resources used

The Bible I most commonly use is the NIV Study Bible, but also consult the Life Application Study Bible in the NIV translation. I prefer these translations because we do not have to spend as much time deciphering the older, less accurate translations.

My other commonly used resources are:

John MacArthur NT Commentaries

William Barclay Daily Study Bible

Life Application Commentaries

Many other resources such as Greek Interlinear, Ryrie Systematic Theology, Haley's Bible Handbook, etc..
