Men's Bible Study
The Power of God's Word
Most men struggle through relationships with other men and
women because they do not want to appear like they are unable
to handle whatever comes their way. Most men will not ask
for help or appear like they need assistance, because it
is not the macho thing to do. That is why Christian men
need an outlet to help them talk about what they are feeling
inside.
The Bible has a lot say about fellowship among men and
how men are supposed to forgo the normal male response of
turning inward in times of trouble. The Bible clearly state
that we as Christian men are to start viewing our lives
as one of fellowship with other men.
Male bonding is not something to be feared but something
is a one aspect of our Christian lives that needs to be
welcomed, embraced with all our hearts. Men are called to
talk and share emotional moments with other men and that
is what we should be doing each and every day we can. .
The Bible tells us: “Wisdom strengthens the wise more
then ten rulers of the cities” Ecclesiastes 7:19.
Bible study helps us to gain wisdom and knowledge of God.
A men’s Bible Study helps men to share that wisdom
from young to old and old to young. A men’s Bible
study gives men a much-needed time for closeness and bonding.

Applying God's Word to the Uniqueness of
Men
Men are good at hiding their feelings. Men are also good
at trying to deal with hidden struggles or sin on their
own. The truth is that a men’s Bible study is a time
where men can bring out hidden feelings or struggles and
not feel concerned about letting their guard down. A men’s
bible study is a way to comfort others through the joint
study of Scriptures and prayer. In 2 Corinthians 1:4 we
are told “God comforts us in all our troubles so that
we can comfort others”.
A men’s bible study allows men to talks about and
relate to the struggles of life only men go through. Men
have unique struggles that only other men would understand
and relate to, but it does not stop there. A men’s
bible study also allows a group of men to enjoy what the
bible calls “ the breaking of bread” or fellowship
where joint tasks are entered into and friendship as men
are built. There is more to men then just a shallow relationship
men must be ready to answer the call of God to join as one
body.
There is power in God’s Word to help all men, but
it is necessary to read and share the Word with each other.
In short a men’s Bible study is a good way to start
and develop relationships with other men. Yes men can have
relationships where they share and respond to each other’s
needs in prayer and in action.
Make a Commitment to Connect!
To make the most of a men’s bible study each man in
the group must make a commitment to connect with each other.
On the surface this may appear like a daunting task because
each member of the group is going to have different likes
and dislikes when it comes to the things of this world but
remember you do not have to like the same sports, books,
etc. in order to connect on a much deeper level when it
comes to sharing inner concerns and feeling.
In Psalm 133:1, the Psalmist declares that we should realize
“ how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity”. The unity here I feel is
not only having an agape or deep love and respect for someone
but having a relationship but also having a commitment to
connect in a much deeper way with other men. It is only
when we choose to be open with each other will we realize
the true nature of what it is to have a meaningful men’s
bible study.
