Lifeway does offer other options such as individual video rentals $2.99 each or $3.99 for purchase. In this way you are able to move at your own pace! If you've already purchased your book, online access drops to $9.99. For $24.99 you get a Bible study book along with access to all the videos which remain available for access to May 16, 2021.
That's why I wanted to let you know that Priscilla's Going Beyond Ministries is offering an online Elijah Bible study experience beginning on February 16th. With COVID-19 restrictions it is also harder to gather in small groups where your church may have been able to purchase it. The Elijah Bible study complete kit with videos may also be found in the above link, but is quite pricey for an individual. This study guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the DVD sessions and includes 7 days of study per session, leader tips, and articles to enhance study and application. God is also working in your life today to fashion a fiery, bold faith that will empower you to share the hope of Christ with your family, friends, co-workers, and community. In this faith-building study, you’ll discover how Elijah’s obedience to God kept him anchored, sharpened his faith, broadened his impact, and invited heaven’s fire to fall. Join Priscilla Shirer in a 7-session video bible study on the life of Elijah.
