Does anyone lead a youth group or bible study? If so do you have any topic/discussion ideas?

I co-lead a Bible study and am starting to run out of good topic ideas. Our topics have ranged from encouragement, to Hipocracy, to the church, to witnessing. We sometimes do more discussing than studying the Bible. While other times we study the Bible alot.





Does anyone have any ideas of things we could discuss at a College age Bible study??

I thik that studying the Book of Genesis is essential to understanding the New Testament.


The Book of Genesis has sometimes been called the "seed-plot" of the entire Bible. Most of the major doctrines in the Bible are introduced in "seed" form in the Book of Genesis. Along with the fall of man, God's promise of salvation or redemption is recorded (Genesis 3:15). The doctrines of creation, imputation of sin, justification, atonement, depravity, wrath, grace, sovereignty, responsibility, and many more are all addressed in this "seed" Book called Genesis.





Many of the great questions of life are answered in Genesis. (1) Where have I come from? (answered in Genesis 1:1 - God created us for a purpose) (2) Why am I here? (answered in Genesis 15:6 - we are here to have a relationship with God) (3) Where am I going? (answered in Genesis 25:8 - we have a destination after death). Genesis has appeal to the scientist, the historian, the theologian, the housewife, the farmer, the traveler, and the man or woman of God.

Reply:when i was religious---i started a "prayer" group in one of the most dangerous areas of cleveland...





i hope i can help but all we did was select certain scripture and basically told the other members WHAT it specifically said to us and WHAT it mean to us...





maybe you could hold a meeting based on just a kinda "free for all" study in which each participant would pick specific scripture and share it with the group !!!





have a great day !!!
Reply:It's might sound silly but I am a college kid so I figured why not let you know what I think. There are so many parables and they can totally be related to our lives today. It can be really interesting to apply the stories to your real life and not in like dorky ways but like real hardcore life stuff. Thinking up a situation that has happened or sounds like it could happen and comparing it to a story in the bible can be eyeopening sometimes. I think its a nice way to remind you that the bible isn't just the word of God it's a big book full of advice too
