Starting Point: A DVD Study A Conversation About Faith
9780310817734
$22.82 USD $26.99 USD
Everything has a starting point—your life, your relationships, your education, your career.
Sometimes we forget that faith has a starting point as well. For some of us, our faith journeys began in childhood as a set of beliefs handed to us by a parent, teacher, or pastor. Maybe you developed a framework of faith based on personal experience. Or maybe you had no faith at all. Too often, a faith formed in childhood isn’t strong enough to withstand the pressures of adult life.
But what if you could find a new starting point for faith?
Welcome to Starting Point – an 8-session small group conversation about faith. Whether you’re new to faith, curious about God, or coming back to church after some time away, it’s a place where your opinions and beliefs are valued, and no question is off limits.
During the eight sessions, you will:
- Use this Starting Point Conversation Guide to reflect on central questions of faith and life.
- Watch the video component each week in preparation or as part of the discussion.
- Explore and share what you’re learning with other people in a conversational environment.
Come as you are and build relationships with others as you discover your starting point.

A Brief Survey of the Bible Study Guide with DVD Discovering the Big Picture of God's Story from Genesis to Revelation

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.

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
