Evangelistic Course for Elderly People

Older adults are the fastest-growing age demographic across the Western world, and yet there are few materials to support churches who want to help this older generation hear about God’s love. Hymns We Love aims to fill that gap. It uses well-loved hymns to share the good news of Jesus and key truths about God’s character in an accessible way.

The series comprises five video sessions. Each one tells the story of the hymn writer, how the hymn came to be, and the Christian message behind it. The video sessions also feature beautiful renditions of the hymns, filmed in a historic English village church, along with testimonies and prayers. There are also three introductory sessions: for Christmas and for Easter, and a third which can be used at any time of the year.

The stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him.

Why Your Worth Is Not Defined by How Useful You Feel

We all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we're not or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can't be as active as we'd like to be. Weaving together insightful scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, this book explores what the Bible really says about weakness, identity, and God's purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way.
