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.
