So last night's new small group Bible study wasn't what I thought, but better then I expected. It's Christian Stewardship Life Management Study Course by Ken Smith. While it is a Church Group, it does not really focus on prayer. It focuses on getting control of your life, freeing yourself from over commitment, knowing what's not really important to your life and discovering God's plan.
There is about 20-30 minutes of daily homework. It includes activities, reading and memorizing. Prior students have said it's a lot of work but well worth it. The great thing is that there are "consequences" if you have not done the homework to the satisfaction of the leader, you are not allowed to participate in the discussion session, you must sit there silent.
It's a 12 week course and we need to attend a minimum of 10 to get a certificate. I'm pretty excited about it.
