Understand your identity in God's vision for all things.Explore the Old Testament's story of God and God's calling of the people of Israel through the many "voices" of the biblical text. Hear the magnificence of a Creation hymn, discover the law and wisdom teachings, listen to the warning of the prophets and explore the poetry of the Song of Solomon.
Each session on the DVD will feature a two-part video segment that guides the flow of the session. In Segment 1, approximately 9-12 minutes, gain insight from biblical scholars. In addition, Segment 2, approximately 7-10 minutes, provides a visual tour of archaeological sites, ancient artifacts, and other physical remains, related to and illuminating scripture and events.
Ideal experience for adults who are interested in the practice of prayer and worship and would like to connect prayer practice with Scripture. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible experience.
Participants gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Old Testament as an integral part of the Christian Bible and a renewed discovery of our identity in God and God's vision for all things.
This eight-week study includes a participant book outlining daily reading assignments for group preparations, a leader guide suggesting discussion activities for use in the 60–90-minute weekly meeting, and a video component providing interpretation and context for the biblical texts.
