Bibles Before Books
Bibles Before Books is a small group that meets every Wednesday morning during the school year, and has been at St. Paul’s Church for two years now. The Bible study was started four years ago at Redeemer Lutheran Church, but after the leader graduated, it was moved here. Anywhere from 5-7 teens from any denomination that go to high school attend regularly. Anyone in high school can come, and we are always looking for new member to discuss with. We even carpool to the high school if a teen needs a ride to the school.
We usually watch a Nooma video which is a short sermon-like video with a different lesson each week. Nooma videos explore the world through the perspective of Jesus. They have a central theme about what God might be trying to tell us, which always leaves us realizing the things in life we may take for granted or not even notice. After watching the video, we have a discussion over what we just watched. The questions get people thinking about what’s in the Bible and different ways that we can apply the words of God to our lives. Despite the fact that it is 7:00 in the morning, we always end up having good discussions. The people who come always want to help anyone out and we never shut down ideas or thoughts of God.
During our discussion, we are always provided with chocolate chip pancakes, so we start the day out right.Bibles Before Books is a fun discussion group that helps put a little Jesus into some teens lives every Wednesday morning.
