There are few resources that I “regularly” use when preparing to teach and lead, but I do have a fav list. When I find something that feeds and fuels my spirit I will go to it often. Here is where I go…

#1 The Bible..
My favorite translations are NIV, New Living Translation (not NLT), NAS and KJV. I do use The Message for fresh inspiration occasionally and encourage new believers to read it regularly. I use biblegateway.com when reading The Word online. youversion.com also is a fantastic resource with yearly Bible plans, note sharing and many translations.

#2 blueletterbible.org
This has the best Greek to English Lexicon and greek resources for any BIble site online. It also has the 1996 original New Living Translation.

#3 creativepastors.com
Fellowship Church has great ideas, outlines, and worship maps.

#4 lifechurch.tv
Life church supplies free resources for teaching, children, volunteers and more. You have got to check this site out.

#5 desiringgod.com
John Piper provides blogs, devotionals, and messages at this site for church leaders. Often, I swing by this site for a passionate view of any topic that I might be sharing.

#6 pastors.com
Rick Warren provides a balance of relevance and truth here.

My prayer is that these will be a benefit to you as leaders desiring some new outlets for Bible Study preparation.
