Daily Bible Study Winter 2015-16

Sacred Gifts and Holy Gatherings

This winter, Daily Bible Study follows the theme “Sacred Gifts
and Holy Gatherings.” These daily readings, which prepare us for the 13
lessons in Adult Bible Studies, are written by Sue Mink, Randy Cross,
and Gary Thompson.

Unit 1

What We Bring to God

The quarter’s first four lessons explore the concepts of sabbath, giving
offerings, celebrations, and giving from the heart by examining
biblical texts from Exodus, Leviticus, Luke, Matthew, and Mark.

Unit 2


Four Weddings and a Funeral

The first lesson in this unit reviews the relationship between Jacob and
Rachel from the Book of Genesis, followed by a lesson from the Song of
Solomon. The third lesson examines the relationship between Hosea and
Gomer and deals with broken relationships, while the fourth lesson takes
us to the Gospel of John and Jesus’ miracle at the wedding in Cana. The
final lesson in this unit, also from John’s Gospel, deals with the
death of Jesus’ dear friend Lazarus.
