Can Anyone Recommend A Really Good Women’s Bible Study?
We are always looking for good material. This time I am asking for your feedback on what your congregation has used in regard to women’s Bible study classes. What has been the most well received, impacting, and relevant study your congregation has used?
Looking for Curriculum Contributors
I have talked about the Bible Class Archive quite a bit on the blog. I continue to search for material to add to the resources there. If you have written Bible classes material and would like to share them please email them to me – matthewdabbs@hotmail.com and I will do two things with it. 1 […]

Ten Principles for Grooming Future Teachers

An Important Number for The Blog

I uploaded two more resources to the Bible Class Archive. I had been hesitant to post these because they both relied heavily on the work of others.
