A unique free application for discussion and Bible study in small (home) groups. BibleGroup will help you study the Bible together and lead group discussions on various Bible topics. Discussions or lessons are based on inductive and thematic Bible study. BibleGroup is designed for leaders who lead small groups. Bible study takes place through discussion, which means that everyone in the group can take part in it. By studying the Bible in small (home) groups, people learn the correct principles of interpreting Scripture, as well as how to practically apply God's Word to their lives. Moreover, the center of attention in the discussions is always the texts of the Holy Scriptures. By discussing the topic and listening to those present, the group leader can see their level of understanding of Scripture, their needs, even their misconceptions, and how they apply the Bible in their lives. In other words, this method allows you to hear and understand people more. The group leader who leads the topic through BibleGroup can set the depth of the Bible study. Those who are well acquainted with the Scriptures and those who have just begun to take their first steps towards God will find spiritual food for themselves. By downloading the BibleGroup app, you can conduct your Bible study offline, i.e. without internet access. In total (at the time of inception), BibleGroup has about 400 different Bible topics for group discussion. Updates with new themes will be released regularly. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! The app also contains detailed information on how to conduct such a Bible study meeting! These instructions will help (especially beginners) learn and confidently guide the group from start to finish. You will also find many helpful tips on various aspects of group life: how to start a group, evangelism, children in a group, how to nurture your helper, leadership, etc.
