Looking for a fun teen-friendly Bible study for your middle school students?
Lydia of Philippi: Believer in the Lord is an eight week guided study of Acts 16 and Paul's letter to the Philippians. The study is focused on both Lydia and Paul. It's an ideal middle school Bible study for grades 6-8.
The first in the Character series, this study highlights the Christian character ideals of humility, hospitality, generosity, joy and prayer. Full color photos of ancient sites in Philippi (www.bibleplaces.com) bring Acts 16 and the book of Philippians to life. Teens learn tips for "shining like stars" in a dark world.
Questions in the guidebook are both objective for understanding and subjective for reflection and application. The style is reminiscent of Beth Moore's in-depth Bible study workbooks. Students learn by searching for answers in the Bible and then reflecting on their own experiences. There is no video component, but the free downloadable leader guide includes ideas for serving and lively discussion. For reviews by parents and teens, click here.
