Quick overview

The Buts of the Bible series is a personal or small-group study of both Old and New Testament characters. The study is in workbook format with Scripture passages to read and questions to answer. Each lesson focuses on one character (or group of characters). Rather than looking at their entire lives, this study focuses on particular events or “crossroads” in their lives to direct us toward practical application in our lives today.

Contents of the study

Booklet 1 focuses on Old Testament characters from Genesis through Deuteronomy, looking at their circumstances, struggles, temptations, spiritual defeats and victories. As you study these characters, you will see that the word translated “but” (or another word with similar meaning) often represents a turning point or decision point in their lives; and you will see how lessons from these characters are remarkably relevant to our lives here in the 21st century.

This booklet contains the following lessons:

1. “But God, Being Rich in Mercy” — Where It All Starts

2. “But from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” — Dealing with Temptation

3. “But for Cain and His Offering” — A Lesson on False Spirituality

4. “But Noah Found Favor” — Living Righteously, When It’s Not Popular

5. “But through the Righteousness of Faith” — When Our Faith is Tested Like Abraham’s

6. “Yet the Chief Cupbearer Did Not Remember Joseph” — A Lesson on Unfairness

7. “But God Meant It for Good” — A Lesson on Forgiveness

8. “But Moses Said to God, ‘Who Am I?’” — How God Gets Our Attention

9. “Nevertheless, the People Who Live in the Land Are Strong” — A Lesson on Conquering Fear

Ways to Study

Personal or Family Devotional

Use the Buts of the Bible in your personal or family devotional study time to find practical biblical applications when dealing with decision points in your life. The workbook format will lead you through the biblical characters’ circumstances and will challenge you to think about similar decisions or situations in your life.

Study in a group

The Buts of the Bible booklet is designed specifically for use as a small group or discipleship Bible study. Normally you will go through each lesson together, taking turns reading Scripture passages and answering questions. As an option, you can study the lessons individually before gathering, and focus on the highlights when you meet as a group. The lessons are designed for a little over an hour each, but could take longer depending on how much discussion you have.
