Finding God’s Purpose for Your Life

This lesson is a follow-on lesson after the spiritual gifts study to drive us to take the results of that study and discern what new activities and direction we should consider.  I also made a worksheet including some of the spiritual gifts, talents, and personality traits that might help one discern a bigger picture view of how God made them and what that might mean about God’s purpose for them.

Hope in Difficult Times

A powerful and moving look into God’s hand in our lives during difficult times, one that’s sometimes hard to face.  But we need to face our worst times in the light of God’s Word and His indescribable love for us.  Get ready to have deep emotions stirred, but also, I pray, hope and a new perspective on those worst times in our lives.

His Needs, Her Needs Review

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on December 10, 2011 under Bible study, Single | Be the First to Comment

This lesson focuses on one of the 10 basic needs highlighted in Willard Harley’s popular book, His Needs, Her Needs:  affection.  Along with a biblical background from Matthew 6, the lesson talks about how a husband can meet his wife’s need for affection, and how he can blow it.  I also included a little worksheet that can be copied and handed out to couples so they can identify and communicate their top needs to their spouse as a first step toward aligning each spouse’s efforts to meet the other’s need with their actual needs.

Bible Study and Hermeneutics

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on September 26, 2011 under Module | Read the First Comment

This set of modules was written for the Nations Training Institute for translation and distribution to church leaders around the world.  It is a fairly thorough look at the importance of Bible Study in the life of a believer (and especially in the life of a church leader), and the hermeneutical principles necessary to properly interpret the Bible.  Though the titles indicate first draft status, they are heavily edited.  After submission to NTI, they were substantially modified to meet their specific editorial requirements.
