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.

"To everyone who conquers and who continues to do my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations; to rule them with an iron rod, as when clay pots are shattered- even as I also received authority from my Father.
