Welcome to the Watching World Podcast with Les Norman. In today’s episode, special guest host Annette Bartel tells us about Bible Study Fellowship (BSF). BSF is a multicultural, inter-denominational Bible study focused on producing a passionate commitment to God, his Word, and his church. It hosts over 1200 classes across the world for men and women, online and in-person. At BSF, you'll study God's Word in four ways: individual study, group discussion, listening to a lecture, and reading commentary notes. This layered approach gives scripture more opportunities to land in our hearts and helps us become comfortable discussing God's Word within a group setting. Abundant Life Lee’s Summit hosts a Wednesday morning class of over 500 women. The study also offers a program from birth to the 12th grade. Typically, BSF classes run from September through May. While BSF is wrapping up this year’s study, it will kick off again in mid-September. Next year, the ladies will focus on People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided. This study will go over 15 books of the Old Testament, including I&II Kings, I&II Chronicles, Jeremiah, part of Isaiah, and the minor prophets. Check out BSF International to sign up for next year’s women's study. If you plan to enroll your children in the BSF teaching program, try to sign up as early as possible.
