YBL Jackson offers various types of studies that are geared to meet
you where you are in your spiritual journey.
Investigative Study
This introductory
study normally takes about 3-4 weeks to complete and usually involves two
people. This study is for those who want to know how to begin to walk with
God. Topics covered deal with the validity of the Bible, finding purpose
for our lives and how to begin a relationship with God. Meeting times and
location are flexible depending on participant's schedule. |
Concentrating on the Majors (COM)
The COM is for those who want to learn or review a basic
introduction to the bible and its most essential truths. Vital
Christian principles are explained in this study and topics
covered range from how to be sure of your salvation, to
experiencing God's forgiveness to how to grow in your
relationship with God.

The
COM study meets weekly during the breakfast or lunch hours and
is usually located at the YBL Jackson office. There are normally
8 -10 men involved. The format of the group is very discussion
oriented which affords participants the opportunity of building
friendships and of discussing any personal issues that might be
pertinent.
The study is centered on passages of the
bible and the essential truths of the bible that every Christian
needs to grasp. Going through the COM will help you to gain a
great deal of knowledge of the bible, you will make new friends
and you will help each on other in your spiritual journey. At
the end of this study, participants are given the option of
moving into a discipleship group. New COM groups begin after
each
banquet. |

Discipleship/Accountability Group
The discipleship/accountability group is for those who have
been through the COM study or who have sufficient knowledge of
the material and don’t feel they need to.
This is a
group of 4-6 men that meet weekly for bible study,
encouragement, prayer and mutual accountability. A major focus
of this group is the relationships that are developed over time
among participants. An atmosphere of openness is encouraged.
The
purpose of this group is to establish the men in their faith in
God and to encourage men to become spiritual leaders in their
homes, churches and businesses. This study will be centered on a
study of a book of the bible or a topical study that deals with
subjects intended to help men be spiritual leaders.
These groups meet weekly over
breakfast or lunch in different locations through out the city. |
