4. Manna issue 61 - How to Lead Bible Study 如何帶領查經
The Bible is the word of God.
Through the Bible,
we can understand the will of God, absorb spiritual food,
and grow in spirit.
Therefore, it is important to read the Bible and study it.
Attending a group Bible study
can improve our personal Bible reading
through the encouragement, thoughts, and discussion of the participants.
聖經是神的話語。
透過聖經，
我們可以明白神的旨意，吸收靈糧，
並且可以靈命成長。
因此，讀經並研經是很重要的。
參加小組查經，
可以加強自已個人的讀經，
透過成員大家的鼓勵、思考與討論。
For a group Bible study to be effective,
it must be Christcentered and nurtured through prayer.
Furthermore, because the leaders of the Bible study
can determine its success or failure,
they must rely upon the guidance and encouragement from the Holy Spirit.
為了使小組查經有功效，
它必須以基督為中心，並且以禱告來培養。
此外，因為查經的領導者，
可以決定其成敗，
他們必須依靠聖靈的引導和勸勉。
Preparation Before the Bible Study 研經前的準備
Prayer is the most important tool for a leader.
A leader’s thorough preparation should come naturally
after praying for the Bible study.
