Lesson 2 | Teaching With Authority
Pressing questions
What is the purpose of asking questions in a Bible study?
When should you, as the small group Bible study teacher, ask questions? And with what purpose? Their proper function can be summarized in five categories.
- To capture attention.
- To prompt thinking as you lead the group to the meaning of the text.
- To gauge understanding.
- To allow your hearers to challenge your interpretation (from the Bible).
- To encourage the discussion of how the text intersects with our lives.
