Overview

This newly released series of lessons by author Karen Lewis is relational in nature, providing a valuable resource for leaders of Bible studies for new believers. Based on John 12:32, where Jesus says, “But I, when I am lifted up will draw all men unto myself,” these lessons are designed to do just that. Comprised of 30 lessons, Lifting Up Jesus Bible Study is developed not simply to impart information, but to engage relationally. The two to six page lessons include summaries of doctrine as well as discussion questions, giving teachers easy-to-use, engaging, and comprehensive resources in a simple format. Lewis’ series provides teachers with tools to lead students to a personal relationship with Christ, and begin the process of making disciple-making disciples.

Scripture passages link directly to your English translations and original language texts, and important concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Keep connected and take the discussion with you through Faithlife with tablet and mobile apps. With Logos Bible Software, the most efficient and comprehensive research tools are in one place, so you get the most out of your study.
