Men's Bible Studies
Men of the Church in the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.) provides 13 bible studies to aid congregations in this area of ministry.
Each study is inspired by a book of the Bible and includes seven sessions for
open discussion. You can download these Bible Studies.
Here are some passages from the bible study inspired by First Samuel.
Fathers, Brothers, Friends, and Others: A Study of Male
Relationships
A Seven-Session Bible Study for Men
by H. Michael Brewer
The Reason for This Study
We trust in God the Holy Spirit,
everywhere the giver and renewer of life . . .
The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles
rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture.
These words from "A Brief Statement of Faith," adopted officially
by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in 1991, state a primary conviction of Presbyterians.
Presbyterians believe that God's Spirit actually speaks to us through the inspired
books of the Bible, "the unique and authoritative witness to Jesus Christ
in the church universal, and God's Word" (Book of Order, PC(USA),
G 14.0516) to each of us.
Recent studies, however, have shown that many men know very little of what
the Bible says; yet many do express a desire to learn. To help meet that need,
this Bible study guide has been prepared at the request and with the cooperation
of the National Council of Presbyterian Men of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
and its president, Youngil Cho.
Session One: Men as Fathers and Sons
Fatherhood? Sonship? Why begin our discussion there? After all, not all men
are fathers. True. Although most adult men may be fathers in our culture, by no
means is every male called to fatherhood. However, every male begins his life
as a son, and our relationship (or lack of relationship) with our fathers has
a lifelong impact on our personalities, our possibilities, our outlook on the
world and our self-image. We can hardly begin a discussion of male relationships
without considering what is ideally our first relationship with another man.
