Free Online (Video) Bible Studies for Spring 2020
/We are all too familiar with how social distancing has changed our lives, including our church lives! As all our current in-person meetings have slowed to a stop, online resources and meetings are becoming the new norm. Within the past few weeks, many non-profits have made their online video Bible study series available for free! I hope you’ve been encouraged as you see the good coming out of these hard times. The studies I’ve highlighted below would be great to do on your own or with a group where you then meet regularly to discuss the content over Zoom or your favorite video chat resource!
I’d like to keep a running list of what’s available, so please contact me if you know of something that should be added!
None of the links to the free studies are affiliate links; however, affiliate links are used throughout the site. You can read our full disclosure policy here.
Ligonier announced on March 17 that ALL their online teaching available for free - streaming video and single license study guides. They have a ton from R.C. Sproul and various authors, including a study from Melissa Kruger on Contentment that looks great! There are over 200 to choose from. These will be available until at least June 30, 2020.
Lifeway has made a few online video Bible studies available for free as well. I haven’t done either yet, but would check out the ones from Jen Wilkin on Genesis 1-11 or A Study of Colossians by Gloria Furman. For these, you may want to purchase the Bible study books as the teachings are shorter and almost all the study/homework material is in the books themselves. These will be available until June 18, 2020.
3. Crossway has given free access to all of Nancy Guthrie’s Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series. You can find them here. To download the videos, you’ll just have to add each individual (40 minute) session to your cart and then checkout to be able to download them. On the main page, it shows they are $5 each, but when you click on the sesion, you’ll see it’s free. I’ve done these before and the teaching is her reading the text from the book, so you won’t need the book but will really learn about Jesus in the Old Testament! These are available until May 31, 2020. The available studies are:
4. The Gospel Coalition also has a lot of great course resources in their library. It is a little hard to navigate but if you start with what book of the Bible you want, you should be able to find something!
What else can I add to this list? Please comment below! Thanks!
