In this series, we are exploring how approaching our Bible study as a hobby can make all the difference. Today we will examine how community and accountability can be helpful in establishing hobby-like habits in our Bible study.

Your brother, Malcolm

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where you wanted to share your faith, but the words just wouldn’t come out? Maybe you weren’t sure where to start or how to make it relatable. Today, we’re going to learn from the apostle Paul—how he shared his faith story in different settings and how YOU can confidently do the same. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear, simple framework to tell your story in a way that truly connects.

Today's tip comes from Trevor Mendez in Boston.  Trevor says:

"Spend lots of time in contemplative prayer, seeking God's guidance over what you'll say and how."

Thanks, Trevor. Your point is vitally important. What does this mean? Why is contemplative prayer important, and how do we open ourselves to God's guidance through prayer?

Today's tip comes from my friend Ben Dannatt.  Ben says:

"Thank you for putting this together. Be sure to put in what you taught me about having dynamic titles for the sermons and the points within the sermon. It has really helped me."

Thanks, Ben. Your point is vitally important. Why does spending time on titles matter? How do we get there? 

Let's talk about verbs and names...

Today's tip comes from my friend Rob Payne. Rob says:

"Keep working at the material until you can sum up the whole sermon in one succinct sentence and end with that sentence."

Thanks, Rob. Your point is vitally important. What does this mean? Why is a one-sentence summary important, and how do we get to it?

Today's tip comes from Nick Winn in Lusaka. Nick says:

"Hi Malcolm. Thank you for all you do. TIP: Biblical preaching by Haddon Robinson is a must read for any preacher. One particular key nugget he gives, in my opinion, and has helped me tremendously, is your preparation. For every 10 minutes you speak, at least 4 hours of prep."

I offer three tips....

Question - How much time do you have for preparation? Not how much time would you hope to have, but realistically, how much time do you *actually* have? 
How can you make the most of that time and what kind of lesson and how long a lesson will it allow?
