Augsburg Bible Study: Stories Told Online

Want examples of biblical storytelling, or to experience scriptures told by heart? A playlist developed by Phil Ruge-Jones has 91 stories so far! I did #87 for a series called “The Righteous Reign.” Below is info on the program of Bible study and how to access it. Something you might consider for yourself or your church.

The videos are available to the public at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyGqSCYR2c6ohlfUQ7RxIiIEgOFSFw_DZ and the print content can be ordered from https://www.augsburgfortress.org/store/product/ABS+LDR+G/Augsburg-Adult-Bible-Studies-Leader-Guide-Standing-Order.

With hope,
