Scripture Hammer Trainings

As we immerse ourselves in the story of the scriptures, we allow the Holy Spirit to use them to shape our view of the world, of ministry and of ourselves.  Scripture hammer trainings allow a trainer to step out of the way and allow the Bible to do the heavy lifting of the training.  They require little charism on the part of the trainer, are hard to argue with and place a tool in the hands of those we are training that is immediately reproducible.

The basic idea is to create a list of scriptures that all point toward the basic Biblical principle or lesson you are wanting your trainees to grasp.  A scripture hammer study is best done in groups of 2-5 and then debriefed as a group.  You can create your own for any topic you'd like to train on. 

I've created a one page handout with six scripture hammer studies that I've learned from others and that I've been using to train.  The focus of these particular studies are:

• Discovering the Father's Heart
• Gospel Conversation Hammer
• Discovering the Person of Peace Principle
• Discovering the Relational Network
• Discovering Obedience in Scripture
• Discovering Disciple Making Prayer
