To All Bible Bowl Coaches and Parents,
Coastal Bend Bible Bowl will be here soon! The Book of Acts 1-14 will be a lot of fun to study!I hope you, your students and all parents will grow spiritually during these studies in comingweeks. Thank you for your commitment to young people and remember that your commitmentwill bless the lives of each child you have in your care. You are also helping the church of thepresent and future! I encourage you to keep up the great work!
Young people are looking for direction and it’s up to us to show them how God's Wordprovides the direction they need. Bible Bowl can serve as a tool to help them understand andlive the Word of God. Remember David's words found in Psalm 119:105, "Thy word is alamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Let's do our best to make that verse come tolife for each child involved with Bible Bowl.
Do not underestimate your children's amazing memories! At one Christian school third gradersmemorize Hebrews 11. I have known 3 and 4 year olds who know the Books of the Bible, theTen Commandments, and up to 100 basic Bible facts, among other things. Do not put limitson them. Challenge and encourage them. Their confidence and desire will grow as they learn.
As in past years, this study guide focuses on leading each student through the Bible. If yourstudents follow this guide, they will gain knowledge and understanding. All scripture will betaken from the New King James Version. Also, there may be questions which are answeredby using other study materials such as dictionaries, commentaries, etc.
Here are ideas to use in preparing for Bible Bowl:(1) Meet at least one time per week (try not to over-work the students, especially at
first).(2) Use "grease pencils" to color code the scripture: Blue-important quotes, Yellow-
names, Orange-verse numbers, Green-places, Red or pink-objects and othernouns;
(3) Encourage parents to help in study.(4) Make a schedule to follow to cover a certain amount of material per week.(5) Split up students to have practice contests or tests.(6) Compliment them in front of the congregation, in the bulletin, in front of parents,
etc.(7) Remind them that this is not a school grade and whatever they learn will help
them in life and for eternity.(8) Make use of the website with practice questions (http://bb.theseeker.org)
Whether each student knows everything does not matter. Encourage each young person toparticipate November 7, 2009 .
Enjoy your study of Acts 1-14 and I hope your lives and your students will be enriched over thenext few months.
In Christ,Mark Hammitt (Director)
A Note to All Bible Bowlers:
Bible Bowl can be so much fun if you get involved is studying God’s Word. It will be asmuch fun and fulfilling as you make it! This is my 20th Bible Bowl and, as always, I'mlooking forward to seeing you in November.
This year we will have many awards to give out and that means if you study and dowell, you have a very good chance of receiving a trophy, ribbon or plaque. No matterwhat you receive or don’t receive, you study and commitment will benefit you always.The book of Acts is a great study from which you will grow if you apply it daily.Remember, no matter how you do, you will be learning God’s Word.
As you study try not only to know the facts - try to understand what is going on. Thisstudy guide is designed to aid your study. Here are a few tips in studying for BibleBowl:
(1) Read the Bible without your study guide. Take short notes or write downwords and items you do not understand.
(2) Look at the guide and see if it helps you understand (if not, ask yourparents, coach, teacher or preacher).
(3) The older participants will have an open Bible section. Each participantwill be expected to find the chapter and verse in which certain scripturesare found. Bring your Bible for this section.
(4) You are allowed to mark in your Bible if you wish.(5) Look up any words that you do not understand.(6) Do not get discouraged.(7) Remember to include prayer in your study.(8) High School will have an “extra” matching section over the study guide,
the biblical text and the Chapter Headings at the end of the study guide.(9) Use the website with practice questions (http://bb.theseeker.org)
You have a great mind, if you use it and that’s what Bible Bowl can do for you. You willnever be sorry for taking the time to study the Bible because it can help you for the restof your life. The more you know, the better off you will be. Here is a verse, 2 Timothy2:15 that you should remember as you study, "Do your best to present yourself toGod as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and whocorrectly handles the word of truth."
In Christ,
Mark Hammitt(Director)
