The Mayberry Bible Study will help you reach adults, youth, non-church members - even to refresh the world weary souls of long time believers. With practical applications for daily living, all three volumes feature classic episodes with relevant scriptures for you to use as modern parables on the teachings of Jesus. Volume Three features lessons and discussions based on four classic primetime parables. High Noon in Mayberry - Lesson: A Bad Case of Courage (Psalm 23:4) Andy Taylor shows courage in the face of fear - Barney's, that is - when a former crooked con comes to set Andy straight. While Andy refuses to wear a firearm, Barney makes hired guns out of Gomer and Otis. But when the con arrives with a shotgun box, everyone in town goes weak in the needs - and it's up to Andy to solve a bad case of courage - Barney's First Car - Lesson A Dip In the Road (Proverbs 14:29) Fill up the tank with folly as Barney gets all revved up over the rush of a new car. When Barney shifts into overdrive to make a buy, Andy tries to put on the brakes and consider the decision. But this sweet deal is too good to be true - and Barney believes it anyway! Our destination is the town of Folly in the state of Fife when Barney literally takes a road trip A Wife for Andy - Lesson - A Very Busy Body (Proverbs 11:13) Barney engages gossip when he tries to get Andy married - to nearly every single woman in Mayberry! While Barney plays mix and match maker, Andy refuses to participate in the secretive pairings and then comes that fateful first dinner with Helen Crump. As Cupid goes cross-eyed, Andy quietly waits on true love while Barney becomes a very busy body. The Great Filling Station Robbery - Lesson A Concern for Discernment (Philippians 1:9-10) This episode steals discernment as a young man named Jimmy stands accused and nearly convicted for a crime he just might not have committed. While Barney jumps at the chance to be judge and jailer, Andy keeps the jury out until he confirms his findings. When everyone else reaches careless conclusions, only the Sheriff and the suspect show a concern for discernment. Study includes plenty of space to write answers.
