SOME BIBLE COURSES AND DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE TRIED...
THE ALPHA COURSE runs over 14 weeks with food, a video talk, more food and some discussion where you can ask all the questions you ever wanted to ask about the meaning of life without feeling pressured. The course is used worldwide and whether you do it over a lunchtime or an evening, it's a most enjoyable time out.
A LIFE WORTH LIVING studies Philippians through nine talks given by Nicky Gumble of Alpha fame. There is a book to go with it which includes questions for discussion. This is a good follow up to Alpha
EXPLORING THE MEANING OF LIFE by John West covers 6 great themes of the Bible which overlap into an overview of the Bible and the grand plan that God has for the world. Chapters can be read in advance and discussed via discussion questions and extension study at whatever depth or speed that the group wishes to engage in. (Available in Christian bookstores or for a special cost of $13.20 if you email or phone 02 4982 9173.)
CHRISTIANITY EXPLAINED is an hour a week over three weeks. It's an interesting introduction to the basics of Christianity. You don't have to know anything about the Bible, and you won't be asked to read or pray aloud.
DISCIPLESHIP EXPLAINED is a simple follow up to Christianity Explained, in six parts and based on Matthew’s Gospel
WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE by Philip Yancey is a ten-part video series with discussion questions based on the book. Full of testimony and examples of the power of grace in transforming people and situations. Also challenges Christians to exercise grace in forgiveness.
THE BIBLE JESUS READ encourages people to see the great worth of reading the Old Testament for its relevance in today’s world. Philip Yancey’s 10 minute introductory talks may be followed up with discussion (We have produced our own discussion booklet).
BOUNDARIES based on the book of the same name by Cloud and Townsend, is a series of eight video lectures given by the authors. It is probably something everyone should see, but particularly those who may feel overwhelmed by life and the demands made on them by others. (We have notes based on the talks to save participants having to write the headings down. The notes are followed by some discussion questions and Bible references. Email if you’d like a copy).
THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE by Rick Warren. Read over 40 days it provides a challenge to examine whether we are fulfilling the five purposes God has for our lives. Generated plenty of discussion. Email for a home-made question booklet in MS Publisher format.
