Bible Studies for Community Groups, Small Groups, and Sunday Schools
The No-Prep Bible Study Series
The No-Prep Bible Study Series is designed to meet the needs of the untold thousands of small groups engaged in bible study. They are known in the church world as Community Groups, Life Groups, Small Groups, Adult Bible Fellowships, and even the old fashioned name of, yes, Sunday School Classes.
By no prep, we mean no preparation on the part of the leader or the participants. You can simply read the blurbs, answer the questions, and bring a meaningful bible study to conclusion in 45 minutes—with no prep.
These lessons are geared for Christians across denominational lines. Indeed, every lesson has been trial tested on real small groups from different denominations. Participants have invariably found that the thoughts presented are both interesting and compelling.
