DISCUSSION OF PRE-SERIES VIDEOS

INTRODUCTION
We’re beginning a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions: Why are we here? Why is there so much pain and suffering? Will life ever get better? Through this journey, we’ll also come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

​This week, we’re discussing the Pre-Series videos from the Bible Project to help us get ready.

REVIEW & DISCUSS

1. Have you ever read through the Bible or done an overview like this? What was it like for you?
2. Are you familiar with the Bible Project? What do you think of it?
3. What did you find helpful or interesting from any of the pre-series videos? They were: What is the Bible? The Story of the Bible. Literary Styles in the Bible. Jewish Meditation Literature. Covenants. And, Old Testament Overview.
4. What are the four primary covenants are that God makes in the Bible? 
5. One thing we learn from the Covenants video is that while God could rule the world all by himself, he desires to share his rule and partner with humanity. What does this tell us about his character?
6. Did you pick up anything from the videos that explain “Literary Styles in the Bible” and “Jewish Meditation Literature”?
7. How would you answer this question: What is the Bible and its message?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.
