Don’t Miss This New Study for Women: Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus

Share via:

Spent some time with a new study from Lisa Harper this week. Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus is a 7 session study that takes an engaging look at “two contrasting realities: Jesus is supreme, yet Jesus is approachable.” I reviewed Malachi: A Love that Never Give Up, an earlier study by Harper, about 18 months ago and loved that one. Hebrews is no different. I loved it and I bet your members will too.

DVD-driven, each of the video sessions is 30 minutes to 39 minutes long. Although the video is a little on the long side by ordinary standards, Harper is such a gifted teacher that these sessions fly by. A great story-teller, you will find yourself captivated (as I did).

Each session in the member book includes a video guide designed to help everyone capture the key ideas in Harper’s teaching as well as a short set of discussion questions. In addition to these session resources the member book includes a weekly Bible study to be completed independently. Along with the Bible study, the independent portion also includes a creative exercise of some kind. For example, week one’s assignment is to rent and watch To Kill a Mockingbird and think about several application questions. Finally, every session includes a “extra credit questions for Bible nerds.”

Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus is a powerful study. It ought to be on your radar. If you’re not familiar with Lisa Harper, you will be soon. This is good stuff. I think your members will really find themselves captivated and with a new appreciation for the book of Hebrews.
