Disciple Lessons from Philippians
Inductive Bible Study Questions

Free Email Bible Study on Colossians after Easter

These lessons are from one of my first online Bible studies, conducted in 1997 via e-mail discussion list. Since then I have changed my method to use an online forum and discussion questions following an exposition of the passage. I think it lends itself better to the online medium. However, these questions may be used profitably in small groups and adult classes that want to get at the meaning of the text by means of questions. They'll challenge you.
