The Bible In A Week- VBS for adults!
Every summer many churches set aside one or two weeks to operate a Vacation Bible School for the children in their communities. And maybe once a year churches hold a revival or some other evangelistic type series of meetings; where the focus is on witnessing to the lost and saving souls. Neither of these traditional programs provide the edification that most churches and their members need, and surely we can expect that in one short hour of Sunday School each week that any teacher can adequately teach the entire Bible. And the reason for that is that Sunday School teachers tend to either follow the Denominational quarterly and what is presented in it, or they opt to work their way one of the Bible books, taking it verse by verse and offering commentary. Neither of these approaches is designed to foster a unified approach to understanding the Bible, and a lot of emphasis is placed upon the meaning of the verses, rather than an overall view of the flow of Bible history, chronology, prophecy, and the major themes in God's plans for the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church. Why not sponsor a Bible In A Week series of seminars which are designed to promote these things, and give your adult church membership some much needed TLC? The key to accomplishing such a seemingly difficult feat is deciding what information to include in the series of seminars, and what to leave out! Why not let an experienced, seasoned, professionally trained educator who also happens to be, first and foremost, a born-again believer in Christ of over 44 years, and who is called by God to such a ministry, lead your congregation to new heights of knowledge and understanding? Better yet, why not encourage your church to be the first in your town or city to sponsor such a series of seminars and invite other churches in your area to attend? Let's commit to "growing" our congregation unto perfection now that our revivals have gotten them saved!
