I Thessalonians, Philemon, Philippians (12 hours)

Description

These three New Testament books are among the seven authenticated letters of the Apostle Paul. They are remarkable windows into what the early Church was wrestling with during the middle of the 1st century.

Though this video course can be approached one book at a time, it’s designed to be studied as a three-part series, in part because the books of I Thessalonians, Philemon, and Philippians involve similar historic, geographical, political, and religious themes.

All three books total only ten chapters. Thus, this course is ideal for Bible study groups who want to meet for 12 sessions.

After individual participants purchase their own copy of the 12 videos, there are various ways that groups can treat the material. For instance, some groups might choose to first watch the chapter that is pertinent to their upcoming meeting, then get together to discuss it. Other groups may decide to discuss each chapter first and then watch the video of that chapter—either together or individually. After the group discussion, each person can watch the video again alone to clarify and cement their understanding of the message and the main points. The videos vary in length from 45 minutes to 90 minutes.

A I Thessalonians, Philippians, Philemon Bible Study Workbook has been made to accompany this video course. Reduced pricing is available when both products are purchased together. Volume discounts apply for groups of 3 or more and for groups of 6 or more. Shipping is free when 6 or more copies of the workbook are mailed to a single participant, who then distributes them to others in the group.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 12 hours of video for this course are not downloadable on individual computers, which would take up hard drive space. Rather, they can be accessed through a link 24/7, whenever an individual chooses to watch. Please watch the two-minute video that shows how to find the various chapters of the video from your computer (see above).

Pricing Options:

• Regular price for individual access: $225 ($15 per session)
• Individual access for Bible study groups of 2 to 5: $75 per participant ($5 per session)
• Individual access for Bible study groups of 6 or more: $59 per participant ($3.95 per session)
