22 Questions: A Bible Study based on John and Charles Wesley’s Questions for Personal and Group Discipleship with added commentary and Scripture

By: Russ Broomell

In the 18th century, John Wesley was a fellow at Oxford, and Charles, his younger brother, was a student. Charles let his spiritual life lag and dropped a note to John asking him for help. So John and Charles began meeting, and soon others joined in. Together, they developed methods to focus on their spiritual growth - prayer, bible study, service, communion, worship, accountability, and more. The 22 questions came out of those first groups. In their devotions, both in the group and as individuals, they'd use this list of questions to look at their spiritual lives methodically. The questions helped them be spiritually accountable to themselves and each other. In addition, they encouraged growth in their commitment to Christ because they were all taken from their reading of Scripture. John Wesley used them for self-examination and accountability for the rest of his life. Since that time, many small groups have used this list of questions for the same reason. This study is designed for everyone. It's excellent for new Christians who want to know "what next" and for long-time Christians looking for some accountability. I have interspersed Wesley's list of 22 questions with some commentary and some related scripture passages for deeper study. The study is designed to be done in a small group over seven or eight weeks. There are seven sessions, though some groups may choose to add a week of introduction to read some background information and allow the group to get to know each other a bit better. This study will call you to spiritual growth. It will show you ways that some believers have wrapped spiritual disciplines into their lives to help them seek God. It may lead you into a deeper study or give you some new habits that help you grow closer to Jesus. Several people have suggested that this would be a great study to do annually or twice a year to help remind you of some best practices. My prayer is that God will meet you in this study, and God will make sure that you get from it what you need.
