The Good News Story

---

Essentially, within reason, you can use the course how you want. This is partially why we haven’t produced a leader’s book. Here are some thoughts and suggestions as to how you might want to use it:

A Good News Course meeting

Invite a number of people to partake in the course, with Christian friends involved at your church building. You can do this via personal invite or a leaflet drop. In such sessions it is always useful to have some church members present to aid in the discussion. 

A suggested agenda for such a meeting would be: Introduction; prayer; watch the episode video; read the Bible passages; go through the questions for discussion to drive home the message.

One of the advantages of the videos being freely available without cost on the good news website, is that if someone misses a session, they can catch up what they missed online.

One to one in members’ homes

Some may not be willing to come to a bigger meeting in a church building. This course can be used in a similar way to the above, but with a Christian going through the course with friends and family in their own home.

Give out the book to interested people

At events, through door to door witness or in personal conversations, the books can be given out to folk, who can then work through the videos and booklet on their own.

Parents teaching their children

The understandable nature of the teaching means that it could be used by parents to teach their children in their own home.

Children’s/youth work

A church could take a youth group through these videos and the book, as part of their regular ministry.

Flexibility

As the course uses a physical book and online videos, you could use either independently of each other – e.g. just use videos at a coffee morning – or e.g. give out the book as merely an evangelistic book (as the transcript of the videos are in it).
