Power to the People

Power to the People is part of the trusted Good Questions Have Groups Talking series, a collection of discussion guides that have helped thousands of Sunday School classes and Bible study groups move beyond lectures into meaningful, life-changing conversations around God's Word.

This volume follows the International Sunday School Lessons (International Standard Sunday School Series), one of the world's oldest and most widely used Bible study plans. For more than 150 years, churches from many denominations have studied the same passages of Scripture each week, creating a shared journey through God's Word that unites millions of believers around the globe. Whether your church uses the Standard Lesson Commentary, Standard Publishing materials, or another curriculum based on the International Series, this guide provides an ideal companion for richer discussion and deeper application.

These thirteen lessons explore the practical, powerful message of 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude. Together these New Testament letters encourage believers to stand firm in difficult times, pursue holiness, grow in spiritual maturity, love one another deeply, recognize false teaching, live with confidence in Christ, and contend courageously for the faith. Though written nearly two thousand years ago, these books address many of the same challenges Christians face today.

Unlike traditional workbooks that rely primarily on fill-in-the-blank exercises, this guide uses a discussion-based approach that actively involves everyone in the room. Jesus frequently taught by asking questions, and this study follows that same pattern. Participants discover biblical truth together, think more deeply about Scripture, and leave with practical ways to apply God's Word during the coming week.

Each lesson includes:

• An engaging icebreaker to begin the discussion
  A brief introduction to the week's passage
  Twenty or more carefully crafted discussion questions
  Helpful leader notes and suggested answers
  Cross references that illuminate the text
  Practical application questions that connect Scripture to everyday life

Whether you teach an adult Sunday School class, lead a home Bible study, facilitate a small group, or simply want to study these passages more deeply, Power to the People provides everything you need to encourage lively discussion and lasting spiritual growth.

For over three decades, Josh Hunt's Good Questions Have Groups Talking series has equipped Bible teachers to lead classes that are engaging, participatory, and transformational. Instead of asking, "How can I fill the next forty-five minutes?" you'll discover how to guide conversations that help people understand the Bible, remember its truths, and live them out.

If you believe Bible study should do more than communicate information—that it should transform lives—this book belongs in your library.
