In my five decades of attending Bible-preaching churches I’ve heard precisely one sermon series on work. It was my own, and was pretty weak.
It’s possible that the topic has been receiving systematic attention all over the place all these years, and I’ve just managed to miss nearly all of it. But I think not.
Hey y’all, I volunteer at a local mission, and I’m going to be teaching the teen girls on Friday nights. I need Bible study resources that give a solid overview of the Bible. They need to be in book or workbook form, not primarily digital. And I’m buying, so cost is a factor. I also have the means to create my own workbooks, but I still need a program that does the heavy lifting.
Any suggestions?

Our church still uses hymnals, but we often project the hymns as well as our contemporary choruses (we do blended). Some people use the hymnals, others just look at the screen. Sometimes we have a blip, and we all use the hymnals.

“A new study from LifeWay Research found 15% of Protestant pastors in the U.S. say the biggest challenge they face in the area of music is navigating the varying preferences of members. A similar number of pastors say their most significant challenge is leading people to truly worship God (16%).
