Small Group

Small group Bible studies are often where more intentional community is built and where mutual encouragement, accountability, and spiritual transformation and growth are fostered. Meaningful friendships blossom in the intimate setting of a small group where joys, sorrows, and spiritual struggles are shared, and the right small group resources can help facilitate that process.

What books for small groups does New Growth Press offer?

At New Growth Press, we offer a wide variety of small group Bible studies and topical Bible studies written by pastors, seminary professors, and other trusted ministry leaders that help you understand not only what the Bible teaches but also how to apply those teachings to your daily life.

Bible Studies

Bible study books provide guidance and insight into the meaning and interpretation of the Bible. These books generally include commentaries on specific books or passages of the Bible and study guides that help readers delve deeper into the text and understand its relevance to their lives. Using small group Bible study books is helpful for individuals or small groups looking to deepen their understanding of Scripture and grow in their faith.

Topical Bible Studies

Topical Bible Studies are a great way to dive deeper into specific gospel-centered themes and concepts in the Bible. By focusing on a particular topic, you can better understand how that theme is woven throughout the Scriptures and how it relates to our lives today. Our topical Bible study resources cover topics like marriage, parenting, forgiveness, addictions, missions, and many more. These studies can be done individually or in a group setting and can be a great way to grow in your faith and knowledge of God's Word.

How to Choose the Right Small Group Bible Study

The abundance of Christian small group books allows us to explore diverse themes, from understanding specific Bible passages to delving into personal spiritual growth. Each choice promises new insights, deeper connections with fellow believers, and a profound sense of God's presence in our lives.

First, it's important to understand the needs of your group. Are they beginners in their faith or seasoned believers? Are they interested in expanding their knowledge of the Bible or do they want to learn more about a particular topic? These factors will help determine the level of complexity and tone of the study.

Next, selecting relevant study topics is key. Determine what issues or questions your group may be struggling with or what they may be interested in learning more about. Whether it's a specific book of the Bible or a topical study on prayer or relationships, ensure that the chosen topic or Bible book is applicable and engaging for the group as a whole.

Lastly, consider the study format. Will the group be utilizing a book, video, or curriculum? Each format has its advantages and drawbacks, so it's essential to choose the one that best suits the needs and preferences of the group. For example, a video study may be more visually appealing for some, while a book study may allow for more in-depth discussion and reflection. Taking the time to understand the needs of your group and considering study formats when selecting Christian small group studies will foster growth and community among group members.
