The Bible is at the center of our Bible study.
We are greatly anticipating studying God’s word with you! All of our men’s studies are Bible study based community groups (CG). They are intergenerational and open to men who are single or married, Christian or seekers of God, from Northview Church or elsewhere.
At Northview, we believe that the words of the Bible are God’s very words and are “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”, enabling us to be “complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16b-17). Consequently, the Bible is at the center of our Bible study. As we sit at tables together and slowly work through a biblical book, we discover how God wants to challenge, encourage, and change us.
Men Teaching and Equipping Men
In our Northview Men’s Bible studies, we seek to meet men where they are and move them forward in Biblical knowledge and in their understanding of how their relationship with God should shape their thinking and actions.
To this end, we provide a variety of study opportunities which share a similar format but require differing levels of commitment. All of our studies are expositional (working through a book of the Bible or section of a book sequentially) and inductive (asking a series of questions which help us observe, interpret, and apply the Biblical text).
What is Inductive Bible study?
We believe God still speaks today and that His primary and authoritative way of doing this is through His Word; all 66 books, every original word inspired by Him! His Word is inerrant, sufficient, and understandable. We believe taking in Scripture is a necessary part of the growing Christians life. God has inspired each book to be written in a way that we can understand what is needed to live His way.
- We desire to GROW in knowledge that results in men who look more like Jesus.
- We desire to SUBMIT to His Word.
- We desire to KNOW God: His character and ways.
- We desire to KNOW Jesus: what His life, death and resurrection accomplished (the gospel!).
We strive to do this by using the Inductive Bible study method which uses the Bible as our primary source. This method utilizes 3 tools:
- Observation (what does the Bible say?)
- Interpretation (What does this mean?)
- Application (What do I do?)
Through personal daily study, participation in weekly discussion groups and the teaching that follows, we strive to grasp God’s Word at a deeper and more impactful level. We gather weekly to worship and hear stories of how God is changing men through His Word.
