24 Hours That Changed The World

The next church-wide small group study will be Adam Hamilton’s “24 Hours That Changed the World.” It is a Lenten study and will run for seven weeks from the week of February 14 until the week of Easter (April 4). The study will again be held in church members' homes; click here to see days and times and locations, and to register.

 

The program includes a hardcover book, a DVD with sessions filmed in the Holy Land, and a paperback devotional book. Following are descriptions of the book and the DVD, from Cokesbury.com

 

The Book: 24 Hours That Changed the World
No single event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. In this book, Adam Hamilton guides us through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus' life. Each chapter is designed to help the reader experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death in a way you have never done before. Whether readers are long-time Christians or simply curious about the story of Christ's crucifixion, they are invited to join the author in retracing the last 24 hours of Jesus' life.

 

Chapter Titles
The Last Supper
The Garden of Gethsemane
Condemned by the Righteous
Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate
The Torture and Humiliation of the King
The Crucifixion
Christ the Victor

 

The DVD: 24 Hours That Changed the World - Video Journey
In his inspiring book 24 Hours That Changed the World, Adam Hamilton guides us, step by step, through the last day of Jesus’ life. Now, in a companion DVD that also functions beautifully on its own, we travel to the Holy Land with Adam Hamilton to visit the sites where those earth-shaking events took place. We walk where Jesus walked and see what he may have seen, along the road that led to the pain and triumph of the cross.

The enclosed Leader Guide is designed to facilitate small group discussion about the content in the printed resource and the companion DVD. In addition to the questions and exercises keyed to each session, the Leader Guide features two format options (60-minute and 90-minute) and suggestions of ways to make the study a meaningful experience for any group.

Small groups have been a vital part of Christian ministry and fellowship since Jesus invited the 12 disciples to follow him. John Wesley organized small groups as the foundation of the Methodist Church.

 

Small groups provide opportunities for both warm fellowship and spiritual growth. They're a great way to get to know other church members and form new friendships.
