Bible Study Resources for Home Groups
Below is a list of resources you can consider for Bible study series, all free except where indicated. Most have study guides but for those without study guides you can contact Doreen Wilson,gdewilson@gmail.com, to prepare one for your group. Please give enough advance notice (at least a week) if you need this support.
If a paid option appeals to the group and funds are an issue please let the church office know and we can entertain covering these costs. Listed in alphabetical order.
1. Admirato
link: https://www.admirato.org/users/sign_in
This is a resource provided by Bishop N. T. Wright and other leaders with a range of free and purchased course material. You’ll need to create an account to access but this is free (and you can unsubscribe from their persistent emails if you don’t wish to receive them.)
On the home page, using the tab Discover, you’ll see options for both courses, group study and devotional studies. When searching tick off “free” and a range of choices will be given for free series.
A few options to consider:
2. The Bible Project

Fantastic resource, all free, consisting of short, animated videos. The link https://bibleproject.com/videos/ will give you a list of videos, many of them consisting of a series. Some have study guides, but the church can prepare one for your group if the series is without.
They also offer online Bible studies based on written guides (no videos but links of related videos are included). https://bibleproject.com/guides/

Book studies with guides
Though short video series are appealing and easily digested there’s value in tackling a book from time to time, especially if a study guide is available. Two suggestions are listed below, but we’ll be adding more over time.
Prayer, by Timothy Keller. A practical guide on understanding and improving prayer life. Study guide can be found here: https://www.pathwaycc.co/prayerseries
Simply Christian, by N. T. Wright – the basics of Christian faith. Study guide can be found here: https://www.apexbusinesssupport.com/uploads/Tom-Wright-PDF_10233633.pdf
