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.

"Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” (v. 35)
And he said, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen!” (v. 9)
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (v. 3)
And he [Jesus] said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God." (v. 11)
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” (v. 43)
"Let anyone with ears to hear listen!" (v. 23)
[Jesus] also said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how." (vs 26-27)
[Jesus] woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (vs 39-41)
Jesus said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you.” (v. 19)
[Jesus] said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” (v. 34)
[Jesus] left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded... And he was amazed at their unbelief. (vs 1-2, 6)
"... This poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” (vs 43-44)
