Esther’s Light · Bible Study Library
Open the Word together.
14 studies for college life, one a week for a semester. Each one has the context, an icebreaker, questions to observe, interpret and apply, a version for your campus, and a closing prayer. Print any study and lead it tonight.
How to use them
Read, ask, live it.
Read the passage aloud from any translation. Ask the questions in order: what it says, what it meant, what it asks of us. Keep it to an hour, end in prayer, and keep what's shared in the room. Article XI asks every chapter for at least two documented Bible studies a semester: create each in MyEFF as an event that counts toward Bible Studies, and use the QR check-in.
