In this course, we explore the Hebrew Bible lections for Lent in the Revised Common Lectionary, Year C, beginning with the alternate suggested reading for Ash Wednesday and ending with the Fifth Sunday in Lent.

Join us in this weekly journey of video lectures by Dr. Rick Lowery, followed by video dialogue between Rick and his pastor, The Reverend Linda McCrae, as we prepare ourselves for the experience of study and preparation like the early church prepared converts before baptism on Easter Eve. What better way to discover meaning for TODAY than to join with colleagues in this video course and its weekly live conference calls with Dr. Lowery in advance of each Sunday’s text.

Can Be Used For Sermon Prep

Like our successful Advent course, the Lenten course can be used for preparing for your upcoming sermons for Ash Wednesday and Lent.

This version of the course includes six 1-hour live conference calls with Dr. Lowery for questions and discussions.

And Something New: A Version For Congregational Bible Studies 

For this Lenten season, we are also offering "Lent: Dying, Rising, and Living Anew" to support Bible study groups in congregations. We have configured two additional specialized products to facilitate groups want to use our materials for a congregation-wide Lenten studies.

First, we have made a Group Public-Use License that trains a Group Leader with the same course used for sermon preparation and also provides a special license for viewing the course's videos in a group setting. Yes, you can also use this same version of the course for sermon preparation so you get extra value.

Second, we have also made an optional Individual Access License for Members of a Group that allows each member of a group their own user account and the right to view the videos on their own outside of the group setting.

Details on both additional configurations are available on our home page.

Over Four Hours of High-Quality Video-on-Demand

The first components of the course are six video-on-demand sessions totaling 4:10 (h:mm) of high-definition high-quality professionally-produced multi-camera video.

Each of the six sessions begins with Dr. Lowery's lecture about the week's text.

After Dr. Lowery's lecture, each video contains a discussion of the text between Dr. Lowery and Rev. Linda McCrae of Central Christian Church of Indianapolis.

All video-on-demand sessions are delivered by video streaming that features Adaptive Streaming support to insure that each user receives the highest possible stream quality that each individual broadband connection will allow. The course and its videos can be accessed from anywhere at any time with nothing more than a web browser and a broadband connection.

Christian College and TransformingTheChurch.org have endeavored to make this course as RELEVANT and as ACCESSIBLE to as many Pastors as possible. Our pricing is set in order to ensure that even those on a “lean” professional development or educational budget can participate. This is not only fresh, new content for Lenten preparation, but affords several hours of direct interaction with the instructor. We believe that the VALUE is unsurpassed, and we offer this course to the Church and Her Servants with hopes that you can participate.
