To start Bible studies on the first Saturday in August

“Today people often picture Jesus as he was two thousand years ago, either as a baby in a manger or as a man hanging from a torture stake. However, what do you think Jesus is doing now? [Allow for response.] Notice what this says.” Hand the householder the August 1 Watchtower, and consider together material under the first subheading on page 16 and at least one of the scriptures. Offer the magazines, and arrange to return to discuss the next question.

The Watchtower August 1

“Many people believe in miracles. Others are skeptical. Do you think miracles really happen? [Allow for response.] This promise of a future miracle has given many people hope. [Read one of the scriptures shown on pages 9-10.] This magazine answers three common objections about miracles.”

Awake! August

“Nowadays, many people are afraid to go out alone, especially after dark. Do you think anything can be done to make this world less violent? [Allow for response.] This magazine considers some things we can all do to become more peaceable with others. It also discusses how this encouraging prophecy will be fulfilled.” Read Psalm 72:7.
