RightNow Media Spotlight - Hiding God's Word in Our Hearts!
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11, NIV)
Just how DO you hide God’s Word in your heart? For this month’s RightNow Media Spotlight, we are sharing a few resources that will support you and your family as you read and study God’s Word and begin to memorize it!
Survey of the Bible with Bruce Wilkinson
”The Bible is the most revered, respected and celebrated books of all time. Since the first published book (a Bible, of course!) rolled off the Gutenberg press over five hundred years ago, it has been a perpetual bestseller, far surpassing sales of any other volume in human history.
“For Christians, however, the Bible is not just a bestseller; it is ‘God’s Word’ – a divine message to us in human language.
“Some parts of the Bible are easy to understand yet many are not. With its lengthy genealogies, Levitical laws, and apocalyptic visions, even for sincere readers reading with understanding can be a monumental task. Obviously, to navigate these challenging and potentially treacherous waters, you need a trustworthy and experienced guide -- someone who knows both the world of the text and the ways of God in human history.
“That is why Bruce Wilkinson’s newest course Survey of the Bible was created – to help people understand the big picture of God’s Word.”
Read Scripture with Tim Mackie
”We want to help you to read through the Bible without getting lost or giving up. This series has a video for every book of the Bible that outlines its literary design and main ideas, showing you how it fits into the entire biblical story.”
How to Read Your Bible with Jennie Allen
”Does the Bible feel too intimidating and complex? Does understanding it feel impossible, so you don’t even try?
“In this six-week study, we want to help you understand why the Bible is the greatest tool we have. We want to open your eyes to the way the Old Testament and New Testament connect and show you the purpose of each book of the Bible. Through this study, featuring teaching videos from Jennie Allen, Bianca Juárez Olthoff, and Jo Saxton you will:
Understand that the Bible is relevant for you here and now.
Uncover what each book of the Bible is about and how they all connect.
Discover a method to breaking down Scripture in order to better comprehend it.
Have new confidence in understanding the Bible and a hunger to know it more.”
Family Worship at Home with Dave and Jess Ray
”A six-episode series of ready-made Family Worship Moments from Dave and Jess Ray, creators of Doorpost Songs. Each episode includes a theme verse, song videos, hand motions, and short, interactive teaching moments. Download the included Family Worship Guide PDF, the companion resource for parents, which includes memory verses, devotions, follow up questions, and prayer ideas.”
The Rizers with The Rizers
”We are The Rizers, a band that sings Scripture verses in the form of upbeat, kid-friendly music. Our name is short for ‘memorizers’- oh snap! The five band members are Gracie (lead vocals), Matt C. (guitar and vocals), Mei Mei (keytar), A-Yo (drums) and Johnny Danger (bass). We aren't rockstars or anything, we just like to rock out in our practice space (a.k.a. Matty's C.'s garage) in the town of Rizing Springs.”
Seeds of Praise with Seeds Kids Worship
”These videos were made to be enjoyed at home, on the road, or at church and are an awesome alternative to mainstream media. These songs and videos make memorizing God's Word fun, meaningful and effortless. These videos were also created to give families a fun, meaningful way to share family devotions together. Watch a video, memorize a scripture and talk about what it means. If you have never done family devotions together, this is an easy first step. Seeds videos are also awesome for Children's Church worship! What's better than your kids praising God while singing word-for-word scripture? They get to worship God while storing His Word in their hearts!”
