The 40 Days of Community five-session DVD—part of the Living with Purpose small group bible study by Rick Warren—is a dynamic individual or small group study that will help you learn how to fulfill God’s five purposes for your life.

By unpacking the biblical support for each of the five purposes (fellowship, spiritual growth, service, worship, and sharing the good News) you’ll learn the ways it applies to you and your circle of influence, and how you can use this knowledge to benefit God’s kingdom.

Through it, Warren also explains how God planned for Christians to fulfill his purposes in community with each other in our church families, small groups, and in the world as a whole. Why did God plan it this way? Because we’re better together!

40 Days of Community will deepen your understanding of how God uses community for your own good and growth, as well as help you cultivate deeper relationships with those around you. Learn to fulfill God’s purposes … discover how we are better together. This five-session DVD is designed for use with the 40 Days of Community Participant's Guide and 40 Days of Community Devotional Journal.

Sessions include:
1. We’re Compelled to Love God’s Family
2. We’re Commissioned to Reach Out Together
3. We’re Chosen to Fellowship Together
4. We’re Connected to Grow Together
5. We’re Called to Serve Together
6. We’re Created to Worship Together

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and over the centuries it has changed people’s lives and led them to God. Yet sometimes it can be a difficult book to understand. The culture in which the Bible was written is so different from our own that at times we struggle to understand what it means or how it is relevant to our modern lives.

In A Brief Survey of the Bible, Bible professors John Walton and Mark Strauss give you the background you need to successfully understand even the difficult parts of the Word of God. They provide an overview of the Bible’s key themes, show what the teachings meant to the people at the time, and explain how those teachings apply to your life today. By the end, you will have a greater understanding of Scripture, know how all the books work together, and understand what God has done to make a way for you to come to him.

The DVD features:

• An introduction to the course
• Nine sessions of teaching on the Old Testament from John Walton
• Four sessions of teaching on the New Testament from Mark Strauss
• A leader’s guide in pdf format

The participant’s guide includes:
