Making Use of Sermon Scripture Studies

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,
a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed,
correctly teaching the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 (HCSB)

As a church family, we desire to grow in the whole counsel of God believing that “[all] Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Along with our commitment to expository preaching that is based on working through books of the Bible we provide Sermon Resources. These resources focus primarily on deepening our understanding of the Scripture passage on which the Sunday morning message is based. Our hope is their use will increase both attentiveness and note-taking during the Sunday morning messages, as people know they will be revisiting the Scripture passage during week in their own personal study and potentially in discussion with their LifeGroup and/or other significant relationships.

Designed as the primary resource in the Sermon-based Studies, this document contains the following elements:

· the Scripture passage to be studied from both the English Standard Version (ESV) and the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

· Notes from the ESV Study Bible, the HCSB Study Bible, and the New Living Translation (NLT) Life Application Bible

Questions

This document contains numerous discussion questions created by the developers of the best-selling Life Application Bible and are designed to support a natural teaching flow: Open it, Explore It, Get It, and Apply It.

Use these questions to stimulate your study of the Scripture passage – but do not aim to work through them all. Skim the questions and make use of the ones that resonate with you the most. If you have only a brief time to spend in this document, take special note of the questions that are highlighted with an “*”.

If you’re part of a LifeGroup, we suggest that you contribute to the discussion by coming prepared with one or two questions for your members to discuss. Feel free to create your own questions – in fact, that is preferable.

Resource Details

The English Standard Version (ESV) Study Bible

The ESV Study Bible was created to help people understand the Bible in a deeper way—to understand the timeless truth of God’s Word as a powerful, compelling, life-changing reality. To accomplish this, the ESV Study Bible combines the best and most recent evangelical Christian scholarship with the highly regarded ESV Bible text. The result is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published—with 2,752 pages of extensive, accessible Bible resources. Created by an outstanding team of 95 evangelical Christian scholars and teachers, the ESV Study Bible presents completely new study notes, maps, illustrations, charts, timelines, articles, and introductions. Altogether the ESV Study Bible comprises 2 million words of Bible text, insightful explanation, teaching, and reference material—equivalent to a 20-volume Bible resource library all contained in one volume.

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Study Bible

When reading a passage in the Bible, you shouldn’t have to wonder where to find supporting reference notes and commentary that go along with it. That’s why the HCSB Study Bible – featuring approximately 15,000 study notes – is designed so that every clarifying resource is there ready to be used with the biblical text to which it refers. You’ll never again forget what you were looking for, because the pertinent note, map, chart, word study, or illustration is already there. And when an even deeper view is desired, there are also introductions for each book, outlines and timelines, a concordance, and more. For the growing believer whose desire is to know Scripture more intimately and live out its loving instruction, the HCSB Study Bible always keeps you and God on the same page.

The New Living Translation (NLT) Life Application Bible

The Life Application Bible® will help you understand God’s message to you. Its notes explain difficult passages and give background information about Bible life and times, but they go a step further – they also show how God’s Word speaks to every situation and circumstance of your life.

Life Application Concise New Testament Commentary

Based on the best-selling Life Application Commentary series, this single, handy volume holds practical, concise insight on every verse in the New Testament.

Sermon Scripture Series Library:

While our Sermon Based Studies (SBS) and the Sermon Focus aim to be similar, at times, the passage preached on Sunday mornings and the passage in the SBS will differ slightly. Please compare the current Roman Sermon Series Schedule Winter 2021 and the SBS Titles to see where the differences occur.
