Using the Koinonia Bible Study Lesson
Wondering how to work through a Koinonia Bible Study lesson?
This chart shows you how to maneuver through the web page and what to expect. The chart steps you through a page showing several things to look for. Koinonia – from the New Testament Greek word for “fellowship” – Bible Studies provide a flexible presentation. Either an individual or a small group can use this material to guide and enhance their study. If you are an individual wanting to work through a passage of Scripture or a topic, follow the guidelines for your study on the left of the image below. Although the three main pints on the right are for small group study, even an individual can benefit from these thoughtful guides. These group ideas enlighten your thinking and your Bible knowledge.
Everyone should read through the text of the lesson. Each Scripture reference links to a pop-up window of the Bible verse. The three white lines at the top left corner of the screen provide a menu. In the screen that appears, a Bible verse that changes daily can be found. In addition, you will find reference material to bolster the lesson.

The text of the lesson is filled with links. Some provide connections to websites to further your study. Others provide links to other KBS lessons, my devotions and blogs, or pop-up windows which offer definitions and insight. The notes set aside to the right of the page give an introduction to the topic for discussion. The section follows with Words to Wrangle noting meaning and context to the passage. The group study finishes with Conclusions to Consider.
The bottom of the lesson will soon contain links for chat, video, and a place for prayer requests. It should be live by the end of the month of May.
