When I have free time I often find myself watching a video of some sort on YouTube. I know that many of our students are the same way. As a matter of fact, many young people use the platform the same way they would use Google. When they have a problem or question many (including me) will sometimes type it into the YouTube search bar. With this frequent use in mind I have decided to start making videos on YouTube!The videos will be a breezy walk through some interesting scriptures and questions the Christian life presents. For example, the first one will look at a point in the Exodus story where God was about to kill Moses. This passage is not a particularly well known scene in the story and certainly not going to be on any inspirational wall décor, but is fascinating to me nonetheless. Each video will introduce a new scripture or question and then take time to explore it. In order to interact with these different questions, I will also add Bible reading and interpreting tips throughout with the hope that anyone watching will be able to read the Bible better having watched.
The videos will topically follow what we will be doing in Bible study on Sunday mornings. Most of the time the study and video will look at similar passages from different angles as to not be redundant. The videos and study are following a three-year Bible reading plan, meaning if you engage either with regularity you will have some knowledge of most of the Bible!
While I am making these with kids and teenagers in mind (that is, I mildly embarrass myself in them), I invite anyone who is interested to check them out! I will put each one on the Hebron website under the Youth tab. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at derickk@hebrononline.org. My hope for those who engage with these is that they will get a curiosity for the scriptures that leads them to know and glorify God!
