HELP! Starting a bible study group?(Christians only plz)?

So I wanna start this group and im planning on doin a random different sport (for fun) each time and then a lesson afterwards whether its real life situations or holy spirit ect. Any other ideas or how I could specifically start it or anything? Im 18 so I figured middle schoolers would be a good critical age to start helping them in God. Anything at all will help thanks!

    Perhaps also talk about how their week has been, get to know who they are, what their interests are. Find common ground and make sure that you can include everybody. Basically show interest in the people rather than simply have a "teaching session", though of course I'm not saying there shouldn't be any teaching.

    watch God Tube and share the song, find verses in the song, watch Christian videos with a Godly message--like the Ten Commandments, the story of Ruth, etc. the idea of playing a sport means getting sweaty and stinky so if you do have a sport do so after the other activities--lessons, study, etc. but don't force or push the idea and let them decide what they would opt for rather than you bringing up the subject of sports.

    Take a look at these sites put together by a cold case homicide detective who turned Christian at 35. I think his approach to training vs teaching is important. There are materials for you to use on both sites, but don't try a "canned" approach. Figure out what your group needs and assemble to material to meet it.

    Great idea and your generation needs this more than ever because the older generations are taught about Jesus down in the realm of the flesh which is our Democrat wing and that is where you are. As you know the earth was cursed in Genesis because the Lord knew Lucifer's Kingdom rules down on the earth and in this nation the Kingdom of Darkness is in the west on American soil and is down in front of our Democrat wing ruling over everyone down in the realm of the flesh. The invisible and eternal Kingdom of Christ is in the east and just beyond our Republican wing and up on the east side of the cross and this is the ONLY Church that Redeems. All Believers should be taught to see themselves up in the realm of the Spirit or up in our Republican wing where we see that we are above the realm of the flesh and up on higher ground because we are in the realm of the Spirit and we know this because the Kingdom of Christ is up ahead. Scripture is always best understood when we are UP in the realm of the Spirit and looking down at the realm of the flesh as we are on offense because we are between the Kingdom and those down on lower ground who need light from the Kingdom of Christ. Up in the realm of the Spirit, the Scripture says, we are Sons of God. Down in the realm of the flesh we are denominational Christians under a pastor and up in the realm of the Spirit Jesus is the Head of the Church and we are freer.

    I have done searches in my local area for " church activities", and such, and have had success in finding things going on in my city. So, you could advertise that way or even through your church if the activity doesn't interfere with their schedule. But, the business side of me says to start with those you know and who are around you. Also, do it for the fun and the teaching spirit that you are inspired by.

    Sounds as if you will be driving off those not interested in sport!

    Before you start....Learn a bit of history...Learn who and where the son of man called by a translated name of "Jesus" came from. Who he was, Where he came from and what language he spoke..!! It is always important to know the basics before you you go further in any thing.

    Middle East people NEVER had any English names to begin with...Never had the

    British culture in them..check what dresses they wore and what they eat and what language they spoke..!!

    Having said that all ..his real name in their culture and country was "Isa", He spoke the language of "Aramie" or "Hebrew"...English was not even known anywhere.

    "Isa" (Jesus) was a "Jew" son of Mariam (Mary) in lineage. You can and should check in "Google" or History of Religions. but it is your choice to learn right from wrong. GOD is alone and does not have son or a family...and does not need all the rubbish of family. HE is the Creator and "Isa: (Jesus) was himself Created...! simple.

    GOD send many Prophets/Messengers for mankind..the famous ones are 'Nuh' (Noah), " Ibrahim" (Abraham), "Musa" (Moses), "Isa (Jesus) & "Muhammad", all being the descendant of Prophet "Ibrahim" (Abraham) and having submitted to same

    Creator " ALLAH" ("GOD") in only English language. Lastly if you are indeed seeking the true religion then don't run from the Truth, that GOD revealed..!

    Don't run for the religions of "MONEY", "GREED","APARTHEID" & "SLAVERY Focused religion, in the name of distorted and translated personality of "Isa" to "Jesus...:)
