First Bible Studies

[…]word if you plan to build upon that word later. It will probably take two or three meetings to study this passage with the group. The study does not have specific break points, but you might try to keep the major sections together. In this Bible study, do not think that you have to stick with the script. The script is there to help those who need it as they begin. If you are new to OCF, I especially encourage you to read the script because it contains a lot of valuable information. Whatever you do, be familiar enough with […]

A day in the life of OCF

[…]topics including Christian living, discipleship—and the “Bad Girls of the Bible” women’s study.  Fort Campbell OCF’s pre-Bible study conversation over dessert is heavy on training exercises and upcoming deployments. Two regular attenders are on deployment, while another will deploy soon; a fourth soldier is now home, recovering from combat wounds. Prayer time ensues, especially for traveling mercies and the three babies due over the next few months.   1900 Marriage counseling is another aspect of several OCF field staff couples’ ministries, particularly pre-marriage topics with cadets, mids and young officers. A licensed minister, Steve Wade has also officiated at several […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]senior officer leading a front-line unit in combat who met regularly with others for Bible study and coordinated other spiritual activities across a number of units responded, “It just seemed the thing to do. What should be your attitudes toward the spiritual dimensions of position, authority and rank? What principles can you identify in God’s Word? How can you apply them in your duties? Study and meditate on the following Scripture notes as you answer these questions. Psalm 75 Who really is in control of all events? If an excellent record results in promotion, who is the primary source of […]

On The Rock

[…]watching, and those in our sphere of influence will follow our lead. The strength of our building materials will be revealed by how our life of faith is lived out when the rains fall and the floods come and the winds blow. In the leader’s case, how we walk in view-and out of view-of the public’s eye will speak volumes about what we truly believe and the source of our strength. In these days of rapid-fire media, the leader’s challenge is to display a Christ-like response when life-changing moments arise, and thus be the “wise man” with a firm foundation. […]

Waging Another War

[…]discussed the previous week’s reading assignment and corresponding questions from the book’s study guide. Four other Every Man’s Battle study groups also started up at nearby Patrol Bases (PBs). This was the first sign that these Bible study groups in pursuit of sexual purity were having a positive impact. The need was there. And God provided for the need as men of character stepped forward to help their fellow Soldiers. The men learned about the pitfalls of viewing sensual images, of how exposure to them is comparable to a drug addict getting a fix. Men get a chemical high from […]

Members: Cast your vote now for OCF Council

[…]ClimbOn!; Sunday school facilitator, parish council, community soup kitchen board, CGO Bible study and mentoring leader. Personal testimony: While searching for hope and healing after a hardship at the USAF Academy, a chaplain and a small group Bible study helped me see my spiritual need. I accepted Christ as my savior as a 2Lt. What is the biggest challenge you see currently facing OCF right now? Our biggest challenge is mentoring, equipping, and encouraging officers—especially junior officers—to be bold but kind in ministering to a military community that is increasingly hostile toward Christ and His followers, even while it is […]

Preparing for Active Duty

[…]can provide a list of OCF members in the area. Perhaps they can put you in contact with an ongoing study. If there is no OCF study, ask God if you should start one. A wealth of “user friendly” Bible study material is available on the OCF website.The point–stay connected with OCF. Don’t wait for someone to contact you. Be a leader who will make a Kingdom difference. Now, what can you expect from OCF at Maxwell? We see Maxwell as a spiritual “touchpoint.” Our ministry hope is reflected in this slogan: Touch people’s lives…Grow them deep…Commission them for service […]

Starting an OCF Small Group Fellowship

[…]Bible. Is proximity to dinner a problem? Think about having a potluck prior to starting the Bible study. In the workplace, maybe a “brown bag” study during the lunch hour will help. Most often, studying a book of the Bible works best. You can quickly learn (as a group) how to conduct an inductive study of one of the books of the Bible. Start with an easy one that is not too theologically challenging or too long-like one of the Gospels. Sometimes there is a topic of immediate interest that warrants searching the Scriptures to see what the Bible says. […]

OCF Groups and You

[…]mixed group of AD, reserve, guard and civilian contractors meeting at lunch for Bible study. Pair/Spiritual Battle Buddies—two people praying/studying the Bible together; great discipleship opportunity. Church affiliated—varied people meeting for fellowship/prayer study as a formal ministry of a local church, cooperatively with OCF Specialty group—any of the models above but created specially for singles, women, senior officers, or whatever salient demographic at that location. Since you are OCF, your group will be what you make it at your duty station. Determine the need and start working to fill it. OCF’s website has great resources for starting/leading groups and finding […]
