Our goal in this series is to teach the Old Testament in such a way that it equips and motivates our people to study and meditate on God’s Word in groups and in their personal time with Jesus. Jesus tells us in Luke 24 that the entire Old Testament is really about Him and His saving work. We want to train our people to see the glory of Christ in the Old Testament for their ongoing spiritual vitality and we want you to help us lead the charge in this. To help you lead well we've created some materials to help facilitate group time.
Study Guides
During this series, we would like for a large portion of your LifeGroup time to be spent studying God’s Word together as a LifeGroup. So each week, instead of our usual LifeGroup Discussion Questions, we will use these study guides to help your group to study a specific passage that is in the same section of the Old Testament as the passage that was taught on that Sunday.

- Week 2: Abraham Intercedes for Sodom & Gomorrah

Leader Guides
We have created leader guides as a 'cheat sheet' for leaders to help guide group discussion. We understand that this might be unfamiliar territory for leaders and want to help ensure success. These leader guides are to help you guide discussion, they are not intended to be read off word for word in a monologue teaching style.

Video Tutorials
Because we are asking you to switch up the style of your LifeGroup time, we created a few videos to explain how to teach and discuss the material. Each video will start off with about two minutes of instruction then footage from one of Ant's bible studies, which we are modeling group time after. We highly suggest watching at least the first ten minutes of each video.
