Teen Bible Study Discussion Guides

The teen Bible study guides will help you discover what is written in the pages of the Bible and help answer your Bible questions.

The Teen Bible Study Discussion Guides were created by volunteers, including young adults, ministers and concerned parents to offer some meaningful subjects to discuss with your youth group. The guides are not meant to be the definitive doctrinal paper on any subject but rather a discussion guide that will help your instructor cover subjects of interest to teens. Parents may want to use these at home in a private family discussion.

There are no specific rules on when and how you use these guides. Experience has taught us that there does need to be guidance and clear Biblical teaching. Some ways to make the study discussion guides more profitable would include: Seek proofs, cite examples and relate experiences.

If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know. Hopefully you will have many pleasant hours of studying the Word of God. If you have additional Bible questions, be sure to visit out Bible FAQ section .

Teen Bible Study Volume 1: Religious Study

A relgious study: in this study we will cover basic religious truths.
Does God Exist?

Is there a more fundamental question than does God exists? If God doesn't exist, then humanity is on its own in determining how to live.

Which Religion Is the Right One?

With so many religions in the world, does it really matter what you believe?

Comparing World Religions

In order to appreciate more fully what we believe, it may help to understand the religious beliefs of others.

The Authority of the Bible

Is the Bible the true word of God?

The Canonization of the Bible

When one wholeheartedly begins to seek God and desires to obey His Word, the question that frequently comes to mind is, Does the Bible contain all of God's revelation to man or are there other books?

Jesus - Man or God?

We need to know without a doubt, who Jesus Christ was.

The Holy Spirit

God, our Creator, realizes that we all face circumstances which are difficult and at times overwhelming for us. Throughout our lives, challenges will arise that will appear insurmountable. Knowing our weaknesses and limitations, God offers each of us a helper for these kinds of situations. This helper is called the Holy Spirit

Does Satan Exist?

Is there really a Devil? Or is Satan a man-made myth, a human attempt to explain evil? If God is perfectly good, how could He create the devil? And why?
Teen Bible Study Volume 2: Discovering Biblical Truth

What truths does the Bible reveal? How does God want us to follow him?
The Gospel of the Kingdom

The word Gospel means "good news." It is God's plan for mankind. What the world needs is a lot of good news rather than the bad news of tragedy, disease, unrest, conflicts, pain and sorrows. The irony of our world is that even though there are plenty of exciting new technological marvels, world peace seems far from a reality in our lifetime.

What Is Your Destiny?

Have you ever wondered why you are alive? Many people don’t really take the time to ask the hard questions about life and death.

Heaven

One of the most cherished of traditional Christian beliefs is that at death the righteous go to their reward in heaven. Is this belief upheld by the scriptures?

Hell

One of the most misunderstood topics today is the idea of hell. Where do sinners go when they die? What does the Bible say about it?

Prayer

When we are in a tough spot, when we don't know what to do next, the Bible tells us that we are able to pray and ask God for help. We can pray confidently. We have the right to come boldly before God in prayer to ask for forgiveness, advice and support which is not available anywhere else.

Bible Study

If you have been to church for even a short time, you've probably heard the minister emphasize Bible study. But is Bible study really important for you, a young man or woman in the teen years? Isn't attending church services every week enough?

Repentance

Theological terms are sometimes difficult to understand because they are not used outside of religious discussion. "Repentance" falls into that category.

What Is A Disciple of Jesus Christ?

Jesus commanded His servants to "make disciples of all the nations". But what is a disciple? Have you ever asked yourself what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? What exactly would that involve?

Fasting

In order to help us in our calling, God has given us a handful of powerful tools-prayer, Bible study, meditation and fasting. To the world, these tools don't seem very effective, but in the hands of God working in a Christian's life they are extremely effective. Much has been written about the first three tools, but what do you know about fasting?
