Every small group is unique. Maybe you and the women you’re in the Word with are looking to grow in your faith, memorize Scripture, or just study a Bible story you’ve never heard of. No matter what you and your group need in this season, we have something for you! Here are the Bible studies we’ve rounded up for every type of small group:
For the group that’s in a season of waiting: Finding God Faithful by Kelly Minter | 8 Sessions
Over 8 sessions, trace the path of Joseph’s life in the book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. This study includes daily Scripture reading and 5 days a week of Scripture memory practice. You’ll learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable.
For the group that loves historical context: Jesus and Women by Kristi McLelland | 7 Sessions
Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on the dusty roads of Galilee as she transports you back to Jesus’s world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Over 7 sessions, you’ll examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but also to fuel your worship of Him today.
For the group that wants to study a lesser-known Bible story: Take Courage by Jennifer Rothschild | 7 Sessions
Do you ever feel like the happy ending of your story is a million miles away? In this study on the book of Haggai, you’ll learn to walk confidently in your calling, stay motivated despite opposition, and courageously invest your life in God’s purposes, trusting Him for results you may never see in this lifetime.
For the group that is eager to grow in their faith: Elijah by Priscilla Shirer | 7 Sessions
Join Priscilla Shirer on this journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.
For the group that’s focusing on Scripture memory: He’s Where the Joy Is by Tara-Leigh Cobble | 7 Sessions
Join Tara-Leigh Cobble in this 7-session study as she breaks down the intimidating doctrine of the Trinity. You’ll discover a beautiful, foundational view of our Triune God that will transform how you relate to Him. Understanding God’s three-in-oneness and each of the Persons of God individually—Father, Son, and Spirit—will lead you to deeper intimacy with God and greater joy in knowing Him!
For the group that’s getting to know Jesus better: Finding I AM by Lysa TerKeurst | 6 Sessions
Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through this interactive, in-depth study, you will learn to trade feelings of emptiness and depletion for a more personal fulfillment from knowing who Jesus is.
For the group that loves to dive deep into Scripture: God of Deliverance by Jen Wilkin | 10 Sessions
In this 10-session verse-by-verse study of Exodus 1–18, Jen Wilkin shows us that Israel’s story is our story: the same God who delivered Israel also delivers all those He loves from slavery to sin and from service to the pharaohs of this world. He lifts our eyes to the promised land He has prepared where we dwell with I AM and worship Him as the one true God.
For the group that wants to learn how to study the Bible: From Beginning to Forever by Elizabeth Woodson | 8 Sessions
In From Beginning to Forever, Elizabeth Woodson guides you through the story of the Bible, showing how all sixty-six books combine to form one unified narrative. Weaving together the rich theological truths found in Genesis through Revelation, this 8-session study shows the eternal significance of what God is doing in the world and how He invites us to be a part of it.
