Study guides for adults


These studies are a resource produced free of charge by Christians in Sport. They can be printed straight from the website or you can also order a copy from the office by email. Whether you are part of a Christians in Sport group or network you are more than welcome to use them. We hope you enjoy them, find them challenging, and encounter God through the pages of the Bible. The studies can be done either alone, in a group or just with one other person. Most can be easily adapted for someone who is not yet a Christian to use. Please feedback with any comments you may have on the studies.

 

These studies are a journey through Paul's letter to the Galatians. Part of the joy of the journey is in discovering things for yourself, so we'll try to give you enough input to stop you getting lost, and enough freedom to roam around. These studies go up to mid-way through chapter 2 and studies on the rest of the letter will be following shortly.

Unsure how to understand the Bible? Eager to put its teaching into practice? Fed up with dry, unhelpful studies? This short brief is designed to help you better understand the Bible, and communicate its teaching, whether in a small group or one-to-one, or as you read it on your own.

Do you feel ill-equipped to explain the good news of Jesus to your friends, or would like a refresher course? Maybe you think that your group could do with some further training? These notes look through giving your testimony, explaining the gospel, the Christian lifestyle, and are highly recommended as group activities.

These studies look at the most frequently asked questions about Christianity and the Bible - regarding sex before marriage, suffering, homosexuality, the resurrection, science and God, other religions, and more. These can be done as a series, or one-off addressing a specific issue; in a group or with a friend who has those questions.

These brief monthly studies are aimed to encourage and equip you to think through what it means to represent Christ in your sport and club.  Taking just a few minutes to read, they should stimulate your thoughts, and hopefully affect your actions. 

You have the excitement of a brand-new church, yet you're mocked and laughed at for being a Christian. How does a Christian live and flourish in an environment where sex, prestige and fun are the most important experiences? This series of nine study outlines looks at the commitment produced by the gospel in a variety of forms, and can be used in groups, pairs or on your own.

A journey through Peter's first letter to a persecuted and scattered group of Christians. Ten studies for group use. These studies come with both meeting outlines and leaders' notes, and are especially useful for those not accustomed to leading small groups.

Good leadership is very important as we try to expand the gospel in the world of sport.  But what does that look like?  Are we to be extroverted or level headed, talented Bible teachers or dynamic in personalities?  What does a godly leader look like?  Whether you find yourself in a position of leadership or are pondering who to appoint, this short study in 2 Timothy lays out Paul's priorities in choosing and appointing godly gospel leaders.
