Bible Studies

These are not all the Bible Studies I prepared and led during my over 50+ years in ministry, but they are the ones that survived the moves, different mediums, and various computer systems. I have collected them in this volume as a gift for my family. Not that I think I am a great sermonizer or orator, but for them to see the Bible through my eyes.

The Bible Studies on 1 John are actually ones I developed for two of the churches where I was the interim pastor. They are not in depth but were designed for a thirty to forty-five minutes Wednesday night Bible study.

Although I used a variety of commentaries and Bibles throughout my ministry there were three references I returned to over and over again. I found the Amplified Bible a great help as it showed me the nuances found in various words often with very different meanings or outcomes. The Broadman Commentary series and William Barclay’s The Daily Study Bible Series served as my primary sources for understanding the core of the Scripture.

Finally, the Bible studies are in English and Spanish. I speak (and read) both languages and do not need to translate the material to preach from one language notes into the other. Oh, and the Bible studies are in a variety of “finished” states. Some are entire manuscripts which I followed “to the letter”. Others are outlines, and still others are just basic frameworks which I never finished.
