Study 1: I am the Good Shepherd

Security: John 10.
Aim: Comparing a guided study to a non-guided study in helping spiritual growth.
1) Get one group to do Lesson 4 and another to use the Swedish method (highlight, question, application and share) Note how long each took. Get each group to share what they learnt. Is there a difference? Which goes deeper into the text?
2) The point of doing a bible study is not so much knowledge but changing a mindset that leads to changed perspectives and lives. Which study do you think makes the aim clearer? Talk about how as a group you can help each other apply the “I am” studies to your life.

3) You may like to watch this video to summarise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzC7lbC5Ns

Adaptations from student leaders
Elizabeth and Hannah organised sheep games, put the bible study questions on sheep designs and decorated the room with sheep images. The value of doing this was it lightened the atmosphere during the study and the discussion was not heavy or intense. A quick introduction was given on how reading in an active way helps us get more from the story.
