To All Bible Bowl Coaches and Parents,

Weber Road’s Bible Bowl will be here before you know it. of Mark will be a lot of fun to study! We hope you, your students and all parents will grow spiritually during these studies in coming weeks. Thank you for your commitment to young people and remember that your commitment will bless the lives of each child you have in your care. You are also helping the church of the present and future! We encourage you to keep up the great work!

Young people are looking for direction and it’s up to us to show them how God's Word provides the direction they need. Bible Bowl can serve as a tool to help them understand and live the Word of God. Remember 's words found in Psalm 119:105, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (KJV). Let's do our best to make that verse come to life for each child involved with Bible Bowl.

Our hope is that every coach will be excited about studying. This attitude will rub off on each student.

Do not underestimate your children's amazing memories! At one Christian school, third graders memorized Hebrews 11. We have known three and four year olds who know , the Ten Commandments, and up to 100 basic Bible facts, among other things. Do not put limits on them. Challenge and encourage them. Their confidence and desire will grow as they learn.

As in past years, this study guide focuses on leading each student through the book of the Bible we are studying. If your students follow this guide, they will gain knowledge and understanding. All scripture will be taken from the New King James Version.

Here are ideas to use in preparing for Bible Bowl: 1) Meet at least one time per week (try not to over-work the students, especially at first). 2) Use "grease pencils" to color code the scripture: Blue-important quotes, Yellow-names, Orange-verse numbers, Green-places, Red, or pink-objects and other nouns. 3) Assign one or two chapters per week. 4) Encourage parents to help in study. 5) Split up students to have practice contests or tests. 6) Compliment them in front of the congregation, in the bulletin, in front of parents, etc. 7) Remind them that this is not a school grade and whatever they learn will help them in life and for eternity. 8) Make use of the website with practice questions (http://bb.theseeker.org)

Whether each student knows everything does not matter. Encourage each young person to participate November 9, 2019.

Enjoy your study of the Gospel of Mark and I hope your lives and your students will be enriched over the next few months.

A Note to All Bible Bowlers:

Bible Bowl can be so much fun if you get involved in studying God’s Word. It will be as much fun and fulfilling as you make it! This is our 36th Bible Bowl and we are looking forward to seeing you in November.

This year we will have many awards to give out and that means if you study and do well, you have a very good chance of receiving a trophy, ribbon, or plaque. No matter what you receive or don’t receive, your study and commitment will benefit you always. The Gospel of Mark is a great study from which you will grow if you apply it daily. Remember, no matter how you do, you will be learning God’s Word.

As you study try not only to know the facts – try to understand what is going on. This study guide is designed to aid your study. Here are a few tips in studying for Bible Bowl:

1) Read the chapters without your study guide. Take short notes or write down words and items you do not understand. 2) Look at the guide and see if it helps you understand (if not, ask your parents, coach, teacher, or preacher). 3) We will have an open Bible section. Each participant will be expected to find the chapter and verse in which certain scriptures are found. Bring your Bible for this section. 4) You are allowed to mark in your Bible if you wish. 5) Look up any words that you do not understand. 6) Do not get discouraged. 7) Remember to include prayer in your study. 8) Use the website with practice questions (http://bb.theseeker.org)

You have a great mind, if you use it and that’s what Bible Bowl can do for you. You will never be sorry for taking the time to study the Bible because it can help you for the rest of your life. The more you know, the better off you will be. Here is a verse, 2 Timothy 2:15 that you should remember as you study, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
