First Baptist Church of Rockledge Bible Study Group

We Weren't Created to be Alone
Bible Study Group? Why Do I Need That? I Can Study the Bible On My Own! Maybe that's even what you're thinking right now. And yes, you can study the Bible on your own. And YES, you should! Personal Bible study is essential for deepening your relationship with God. So why study with a group? Because God didn't create you to be alone.

Small Group Bible Study - It Will Transform Your Life!
FBC offers a place to connect with other believers in fellowship; to grow in our understanding of the Bible, as Jesus' own small group of disciples did; to meet the needs of others in our group ministry; to become equipped for evangelism; and to worship God through practicing godly behavior. You can't learn how to love on your own.

A small group Bible study also offers a safe place to get your questions answered. Asking the pastor during weekly church services isn't usually possible or practical, so you may leave fed, but still a little hungry. When you are involved in a small group of other believers with varying backgrounds, chances are at least one other person in that group will be able to answer your specific questions. Certainly, as a group, you can determine to research and find answers to questions that cannot be answered in your regular meeting times. And aren't two or three or more heads better than one?

In your small group, you can also share your needs. At first, you may not feel comfortable sharing intimate details of your life, and you don't need to. But small group members exist to care for one another and to join in lifting one another's burdens before the Lord. Even if all you are willing to share is, "pray for me," then at least you can go out with the confidence that someone else is in fact praying for you. And God is listening.

Small Group Bible Study - Praying Together And Sharing Victories
Prayer is another area in which the "Small Group Bible Study" can help you to grow. Afraid to pray out loud in a group? That's OK! No one will force you to pray out loud. But as you listen to others sharing their hearts before God, you will be amazed at what the Spirit may prompt you to do. Week after week, as group members share answers to prayer, you'll be built up in your own personal ability to trust God to meet your needs. And as any small group veteran will tell you, the greatest blessing comes in ministering to the needs of another small group member.
