New DVD Studies for Advent 2019

September 18, 2019 Leave a Comment

Just published! There are three new DVD-based studies for Advent 2019 from United Methodist publishers. Learn new facts, uncover truths, and have the most Methodist Christmas you have ever had with these new studies.

Request These Resources

You can reserve these studies for use during Advent now. Early requests give us time to order additional copies if needed. You can also borrow these studies now to preview and help you decide which study to choose for Advent.

These resources can be borrowed for free by anyone involved with a United Methodist Church in the North Carolina Conference. We will mail them to your home! All you need to do is fill out the Resource Request Form.

More Advent DVD Studies

We still have lots of excellent Advent studies from recent years including Home for Christmas by the NC Conference’s own Justin Coleman, several options by popular United Methodist pastor and author James W. Moore, and everything Adam Hamilton has ever published. See the full list on our Advent and Christmas DVDs for Adults pathfinder.

From Heaven to Earth: Christmas For New Believers, Old Believers, and Nonbelievers

by
Wil Cantrell
Paul Seay
Glenda B. Manning

Discover the truth behind our Christmas traditions with this 5-session study from United Methodist pastors Wil Cantrell and Paul Seay. The authors invite participants to consider the foundational questions about the Christmas story: Did it really happen? And what does it truly mean?

By taking seriously the witness of scripture, the questions of skeptics, and the faith of billions of Christians across thousands of year, Cantrell and Seay provide an in-depth look into what we know about the world of Mary and Joseph from the Biblical record and other historical documents as well as a challenge to consider the difference Jesus’ birth makes for our lives today.

This study includes a DVD, Leader Guide, and Book.

Visit the book’s website for promotional videos and more.

Light of the World:
A Beginner’s Guide to Advent

by
Amy-Jill Levine

Dr. Amy-Jill Levine is a Jewish scholar of the New Testament. She is fascinated by Jesus and loves Christmas. Hear her unique perspective on the Christmas story and learn things about this historic event that you never knew.

Levine shows how the Gospel narratives connect to the Old Testament; highlights the role of women in first-century Jewish culture; and emphasizes the importance of Mary’s visitation, the census, the stable, the star of Bethlehem, and the flight to Egypt.

This 4-session study includes a DVD, Leader Guide, and Book.
