God Breathed And Profitable

What the whole Bible says about ITSELF (A 10-week video series for small groups)

   Watch Promo

The Bible is hands-down the best selling book ever printed, and it has influenced the course of human history more than any other book. Not only that, but it has also changed the lives of millions of people individually, and it claims of itself to be the very words of God.

When you read the Bible you find that it has a sublime beauty to it - it has a majesty in its style, and a profound depth in its teaching.

One of our "7 convictions" at Barleyfield is that immediately following baptism new believers need to be taught the doctrine of Scripture. It is “the pure milk of the Word” which matures baby Christians and so we need to settle their respect and appreciation for the Bible immediately.

The course is designed to help answer their questions about Scripture, like:
  • “What is the Bible?”
  • “What does the Bible claim about itself?”
  • “What is its central message?”
  • “Can we trust the Bible?”
  • “Why should I read it? What will it do for me?”
  • And if you become convinced of all these things, then, “HOW should I read it - how do I approach this task?”


It’s 10 sessions, video-based - with the average session being about 30 minutes. It’s designed to be done in a small group, but of course people can do it own their own or in a 1-on-1 discipleship relationship.

The following resources can be downloaded from inside the classroom:

  1. All 10 high-resolution videos.
  2. A participant manual downloadable from inside the first session (this includes discussion/study questions after each video for the group).
  3. A set of the AUDIOS of the whole course.
  4. The BOOK version of the whole course if anyone would prefer to read it.

This course will be an amazingly rich and rewarding experience for all who participate, and will be tremendously helpful for laying the right foundations in the lives of your new converts. Just click the enrol button below to access all the resources.
