NEW - HAIKU BIBLE STUDY / 2024 - 2025

Haiku Bible Study is practice that explores the Revised Common Lectionary. The idea is simple: Start by summarizing each of the four scripture passages for a given Sunday. Then write a haiku (short little poem) based on the common theme. Haiku Bible Study can be a personal practice or a group experience when you gather with others to share your creative insights.

Lectionary passages for every Sunday Sept 1, 2024 - Aug 31, 2025

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

In the gospels, Jesus asks over 300 questions. In every situation, Jesus had a specific and thoughtful question to ask every potential disciple. Questions such as: Why are you so afraid? (Mark 4:40) Who do you say I am? (Mark 8:29) What do you want? (John 1:38) Do you love me? (John 21:16).

For this engaging and participatory study, each person draws one question to reflect on for a week. Then, gather with others and share your thoughts, ideas, and prayers. Study questions are provided for each Jesus question to help deepen reflection.
