Are Bible lessons better when we study longer? And what is the best balance of study time: Bible, prayer, commentary, devotional, and other? Is it possible to study smarter, to spend time that is better invested, in order to make our lessons more effective?
In my experience studying some each day, especially early in the week is most beneficial. My suggestion is to read the scripture passage and pray on Sunday afternoon. That will help you avoid missing opportunities to experience daily life illustrations that God provides for teaching the truth to meet learner needs.
In addition to scripture study, spend part of your preparation time in prayer and reflection upon your needs and those of learners. In this pursuit, then, how much time is enough? Is 30 minutes on each of five days enough? Is more time needed on Saturday night/Sunday morning?
