Bible study guides
What you’ll do: Turn Sunday’s sermon into a study guide your small groups can work through midweek.
About 5 minutes
This is the one that lets your congregation go deeper into what they heard on Sunday rather than moving on from it. Small group leaders normally build this themselves on a Tuesday night. Here it’s waiting for them.
Generate the guide
- From the home screen, press View Details on your sermon, then open the BIBLE STUDY tab.
- Press Generate Bible Study Resources. It takes a minute or two — stay on the page while it works.
- When it’s done you’ll see a green confirmation. Open Preview Content to read the whole guide on screen.
What’s in it
Every guide has the same shape, built from what you actually preached:
- A sermon overview — enough for a leader to run the session even if they missed the service.
- Scripture references — your main passage, plus anything else you referred to along the way.
- Seven discussion questions, which move deliberately: first checking people understood, then digging into what it says about God, then to the gospel, then out to how it changes the week ahead.
- Personal reflection prompts for anyone who’d rather sit with it alone than talk in a group.
- A memory verse with a note on what it means to carry.
- A weekly challenge — one concrete thing to do.
They start easy and get deeper. That’s so a group with somebody new in it doesn’t open with the hardest question in the room. A leader who’s short on time can take the first three and stop.
Get it to your leaders
Two downloads, for two different jobs:
- Download DOCX (Editable) — a Word document. Use this when you want to change the questions, add your own, or put your church’s name on it.
- Download PDF (Print-Ready) — laid out and ready. Email it to leaders, or print a stack for Sunday so people can take one home.
These questions go to people who will discuss them without you in the room. Open the preview and read the seven questions through once. If one doesn’t fit your congregation, download the Word version and change it — it’s a starting point, not a script.
It follows your tradition
The framing, vocabulary and Bible version come from what you set in your church profile. If the guide doesn’t sound like your church, that’s the first place to check.
