James Session #1 - Brilliant Beginnings

James is possibly the oldest of the New Testament writings, dating around AD 45–50.

Paul Session #1 - Saul the Persecutor Turned Apostle  

Transformation rarely comes easily, especially to passionate, stubborn people like young Saul. Stephen, a disciple of Jesus, was claiming that the system of rituals and sacrifices that God ordained through the Law of Moses had come to an end with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Jewish leaders considered Stephen’s message blasphemy, so they stoned him. Saul heartily agreed with them. But change was coming. (video segment is 15 minutes)

Praying Session #1 - The Priority of Prayer: Staying Connected 24/7

Psalms Session #1 - Psalms of Praise  

Praise is genuine expression of celebration for who God is and what he does. It’s how we communicate our joy and gratitude to God for his goodness, faithfulness, and righteousness. Psalms of praise, or hymns, celebrate God through words of adoration. Most, if not all, of the Psalms were originally written as lyrics set to music. Many praise Psalms even mention singing and the playing of instruments such as the harp and trumpet. In this session we’ll look closely at two praise Psalms to see what elements they contain and how they can train us to praise God more deeply. (video segment is 14 minutes)

Promises of God Session #1 - The Promise Initiated

To complete his perfect creation, God places Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to live in a harmonious relationship with one another and with him. When Adam and Eve rebel against God, his perfect justice demands that he punish them for their sin. Yet in the midst of judgment, God promises that one day he will crush the power of Satan and restore the relationship. (video segment is 14 minutes)

Ruth Session #1 - Context and Storyline

Naomi, her husband, and her sons were Israelites. They were supposed to be committed to the Lord, Israel’s God. They lived in Bethlehem in the land the Lord promised to their ancestors. The Lord’s law urged them to trust him in hard times and forbade Israelites to marry women from pagan Moab (Deut. 23:3). But this was the period of the Judges, when “Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit” (Judges 21:25). Famine struck the Promised Land, and Naomi’s family moved to Moab. This decision had consequences not only for them, but for all Israel.
(video segment is 11 minutes)

Revelation Session #1 - Setting: Audience and the Revealer

Romans Session #1 - An Introduction to Romans

It is loved for its wonderful exposition of Christian doctrines as well as its practical exhortations to Christian life. (video segment is 14 minutes)
