We spend too much energy following the news and writing angry comments on social media. If we spent that energy a different way, how could God use us to change the world? In a book I am reading by Clarence Thomas, My Grandfather’s Son, he learned that to help others, he needed to be in a position to be helpful. If our heart is sick, how can we help others be well?
Right Now Media is available on ROKU and your computer. Our church offered this to its congregation. I spent the first night going through Psalm 119, then listened to part of Francis Chan’s series on Mark. In exploring both ROKU and the site on my computer, I see so much potential for church members to make disciples.
Here are some initial suggestions:
Whatsapp Chat Bible Study
- Ask people to join you in a chat Bible Study on Whatsapp.
- Create a group within Whatsapp. Whatsapp is secure.
- All of you with an account on Right Now Media can choose a series to do together.
- The leader posts each episode in the group each week and with reminders to watch to encourage participation.
- The group watches one episode a week on their own time.
- The leader opens it up for comment on WhatsApp.
- The group leaves their thoughts and questions on it for discussion.
- Whatsapp allows video, text, images, and even calls.
- Don’t forget to download the study guide from your computer.
Right Now Media Video Conference Bible Study
- If you log into Right Now Media on the computer, you can start a video conference virtual meet up to watch the same episode together and discuss it.
- You can also do this on Zoom.
- Don’t forget to download the study guide from your computer.
You don’t need to be a Bible scholar to lead a Bible Study. All you need is a desire to follow Jesus even into new areas of thought or to share some real hope with your neighbors. Making disciples is simply conversation. In doing this as a new habit, God will help your heart heal and refocus you during these interesting times.
I’ll be praying for you.
