Bible Study Planning
I recently listened to a Life In Student Ministry podcast and Tim mentioned that for his Bible studies, he goes off what God is teaching him at the time. I do the same, but I have a hard time planning six months or a year down the road. If you are not using a set curriculum, how do you plan your sermons out in advance?
Part two would be, do you always use your own stuff from personal devotion time or do you also use purchased material?

I actually have a 7 year curriculum laid out that I follow, for the most part. This covers a combination of topics, Bible characters and books of the Bible. We change things when we need to and I adapt the curriculum is something comes up.
During the summer I will plan out the next year in a concrete form and give it to my ministry teams to start planning how they will get involved.
I use a combination of original and purchased. Most of the time I take the purchased and modify it to fit my groups needs.
We also do series that the overall church is doing, so that causes us to modify the direction for a few weeks.

I often like to go through books of the Bible when I teach, so I will plan in advance what book I am going to teach through knowing that my personal Bible study time will be part of my preperation. If I plan to go through the book of Hebrews in six months, I can start going through the book in my personal study time now or in two months, or whenever I am doing my prep. |

I tend to use a mix of bought curriculum and my own devotionals to create the material we teach. I use a bought curriculum (Usually Simply Youth Ministry) for our Crew nights to give the evening a portion that is God focused, but still give lots of time after for leaders to build into the lives of the youth. At our Deeper Stuff nights, I use what I've been learning to make up a lesson to teach. |
