What is the
Bible Caller Club?

Daily @ 8pm Eastern (Except Wednesdays)

Imagine the shared “party line” of the 1940’s and 50’s, but for Bible study. What if you could pick up your telephone in the evenings, and chat with a friendly group of like-minded believers to share prayer requests, and study a passage of scripture together?

This is the idea of the Bible Caller Club. It’s a short Bible study and fellowship to reconnect, recharge, and encourage each other every evening. If you don’t feel comfortable joining in the discussion, that’s okay. You can just listen or ask for prayers. The Bible Caller Club is perfect for all types of people, no matter your knowledge level or how outgoing you are. If you are seeking God’s Word, you are welcome here.

What happens during a club meeting?

Meetings:

Everyone calls in to our club’s dedicated party line at 8pm Eastern Daylight Time (except Wednesdays). We take prayer requests, and chat for a moment as we wait for people to arrive, all the while welcoming people joining us for the first time. You do not need to talk if you don’t feel comfortable, you can just listen.

We then start the study by reading the assigned passage for the day. Then we ask 4 basic study questions (which are always the same; see below for the questions) to get at the heart of the passage and its application.

We then conclude the study with a prayer over the lesson and the requests from earlier. Afterward, those who wish to chat for a few minutes stay on the line and catch up with each other. It really does feel like a family.

What do we study, and what is the process?

The Study:

What We Study:

We study the New Testament in its entirety every year. Every chapter, and every passage. If you stay in the club for a whole year, you will have a solid understanding of the entire New Testament and how to live it out!

How We Study:

While the Bible has many events and characters, and sometimes feels overwhelming, it really is a book all about the RELATIONSHIP between God and mankind. When we view each passage as fundamentally being about this conflict, this tension between God and man, and the God-offered resolution of this conflict, then things come into spiritual focus immediately.

The Questions We Ask Every Time:

When we study, we are always aiming to answer 4 questions to get to the heart of the passage:

  1. What is happening in this passage?
    This question, and its answer, force us to slow down and understand the CONTENT of the passage. The characters, the actions, the conflict. We will often read and re-read the passage and its larger context to understand the content and purpose of the specific section we’re working with.

  2. What is God revealing about humanity?
    When you view the Bible as a book about the relationship between God and mankind, then you will see how every passage is God revealing something about us, our nature, our needs, our shortcomings, or our future. In answering this question honestly, we begin to see humanity (and ourselves) through the eyes of God. You can then ask yourself, does this describe ME?

  3. What is God revealing about Himself?
    Since the Bible is God’s way of opening our hearts to bridge the gap between God and humanity, you can view the book as a love letter. He WANTS us to know Him. To know how He feels, what He’s doing, and how He’s working toward reconciling Himself and His creation. As we ask this question about God when we study, our eyes are opened to His true nature and character. You can then ask yourself, do I view God in this way?

  4. How should my life change?

    After answering the questions about humanity and about God, there will always be some sort of tension revealed: Need versus providence. Pain versus comfort. Evil versus judgement. Worry versus assurance. Sin versus sacrifice. The two parts always fit together like a puzzle piece, and the hinge between them becomes the application. This point becomes what we DO as a result of what we’ve learned about ourselves and about God. How do we bring the two pieces together?
