Bible Study Videos

Christ The Good Shepherd, OCC offers many opportunities for us to connect to our faith in various means including self study. This study option gives you a chance to enjoy a unique medium to explore your Bible and to find new and old connections. We hope you enjoy and that you find the Spirit movinging within you and encouraging you to continue to expand and explore your faith. 

Suggested procedure:

1. Find a comfortable space that is free from distraction to watch the video(s).

2. Have a pad of paper and pen to take notes, write down thoughts, or document emotions you may have while watching the video. 

3. Before you hit play take a moment to pray as it is always wise to invite God along side of you when exploring your faith. There is not prescribed prayer but rather just have a personal 1-on-1 discussion with God as you find appropriate. 

4. Now it is time to watch the video(s) and travel in the Bible.

5. When finished take time to reflect on what you have just learned. Refer back to your notes. Are there any action items you found there that you can do further research, prayer, or actions on? 

Finally, thank you for opening your mind to explore your faith with us and may God ever bless you and travel alongside you on your faith journey.

God of our Ancestors, you keep faith alive in all generations. Help us to become more strongly rooted in our faith, so that our parish may be a place where knowledge and relationships are transformed by questions of meaning and by the search for meaning. Help us not only to create authentic faith communities in our lives, but also to connect them with our parishes and wider Church community. Teach us how to hand on our tradition of faith to those you place in our life and for the coming generations. 

We make our prayer through your Son
Jesus Christ.

+Amen
