Discovery Bible Study A Discipleship Process Leading to Salvation and Church CP Workshop – Discovery Bible Study Process.ppt
Getting Started • The Discovery Bible Study begins with the Person of Peace or a close existing relationship • The purpose of the DBS is to lead a person/family/group to discover God and His salvation. • The method used is simple Inductive Bible Study • The Text • Repeat the Text in your own words • What have you learned about God from this Text? • DO NOT TEACH, FACILITATE DISCOVERY
DBS Elements • Group Interaction - Leads to Prayer, Ministry, and Worship • What are you thankful for this week? (Prayer) • What needs do you or others have? (Intercession) • How can we help meet the needs expressed? (Ministry) • Accountability • With whom did you share last week’s lesson? (Evangelism) • How did you apply what you learned last week? (Obedience)
DBS Elements • Bible Study – • Just read or listen to the focal verses (Don’t explain or teach) • For pre-believers you will start with Creation and work through Bible to Christ, focusing on the attributes of God • For new believers you will start with commands of Christ • Focus is on the Scripture, not human opinion • How would you restate this in your own words? (Understanding the Scripture) • If they significantly mis-state anything important – ask where did the scripture say that…? Your hope is for the group to start asking these questions as you go further in the process. (Group Self-correction)
DBS Elements • Bible Study – • What does this teach us about God? (Knowing God) • If this is true, how would we have to obey? (Obedience) • With whom do you plan to share what you just learned? (Replication/Evangelism)
Order • Opening (This become prayer time) • What are you thankful for this week? (Prayer) • What needs do you or others have? (Intercession) • How can we help meet the needs expressed?
