Bible Studies
We hope you find our 'Word in Time' Bible studies support you in recognising God in Scripture, and the world around you.
Each week’s studies are written by volunteers across the Connexion (you can read the author’s biography after each study). They follow the lectionary of the Methodist Prayer Handbook. You may additionally be interested in our Prayer of the Day, also from the Methodist Prayer Handbook.

The Methodist Church welcomes your comments but requests they are on topic and respectful. You can see the Church's guidelines for commenting here.

Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries. (v. 1)
For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift? (v. 7)
Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, as you really are unleavened. (v. 7)
When any of you has a grievance against another, do you dare to take it to court before the unrighteous, instead of taking it before the saints? (v. 1)
