How to Use This Bible Study

  • “Discovering Your Vocations” is suitable for adult Bible studies in the congregation as well as for home study, with parents leading senior-high level children.
  • Each of the four lessons is designed for one long class (60 to 75 minutes) or else two shorter classes (45 minutes each).
    • To adjust the pacing, the instructor may assign different people to look up distinct Bible passages (for a faster pace) or have all participants look up each passage together (for a slower pace).
    • When a lesson is split into two sessions, the introductory prayer may be re-used during the second session.
  • Instructors also may wish to view the video archive of a series of presentations concerning vocation that Dr. Ryan MacPherson delivered at the 2016 Wittenberg Academy Family Retreat.
