How Can I Access Bible Study Materials, Videos, and Other Resources?
Accessing Bible study materials, videos, and other resources is essential for effective lesson planning and participation. Below, we provide comprehensive guidance on how to locate and utilize these resources.
Accessing Bible Study Videos
To find videos associated with your Bible study:
Check the Resources Section: Videos are often listed in the resources section of your Bible study package. If included, they will be accessible there.
Product Page Downloads: For specific studies like “Honor Begins at Home,” videos can be found under the downloads section on the product page.
Troubleshooting Missing Videos: If a video is missing (e.g., Unit 18, Lesson 2), it may not have been shared with your account. Contact your group or church administrator to ensure the lesson content is shared with you. Once shared, the video will appear in your library.
Finding Sunday School Curriculum and Materials
To access Sunday school curriculum materials:
Log in to Your Dashboard: Materials are listed on your dashboard. Log in to your account, select your curriculum, and navigate to the appropriate age group.
Grade-Specific Materials: For grades 1-2, open a lesson and download the "Younger Kids" material from the dashboard at ministrygrid.lifeway.com.
Viewing Lesson Materials: Navigate to the “Schedule” tab, select the session or lesson, and access all related materials, including lesson plans and files.
Troubleshooting Missing or Incomplete Resources
Clarifying Resource Names: For example, the lesson “Ezra taught God’s Law” refers to “Picture Clues,” not “picture cubes.” These can be found in the Younger Kids Activity Printables.
Sample Content Limitations: Some curricula, like the Gospel Project, include teaching videos, but samples may only contain lesson materials.
Purchasing or Accessing Additional Study Materials
Maps and Visual Aids: Resources like the Old Testament Kingdoms map are available for purchase in physical or digital formats on Lifeway.com. Physical Format | Digital Format.
Unavailable Content: Some lessons, such as Lesson 5 of the 'Living Outside the Comfort Zone' series, may no longer be available for purchase due to off-cycle restrictions.
Printable Resources: For Bible Studies for Life lessons, printables can be downloaded from the Documents section of your dashboard or through the Advance Planning section for full-quarter resources.
Accessing Free Resources
Some materials, like the “Dig Deeper” articles for the Angels course, are publicly available as free downloads. These can be accessed via shared links provided by Lifeway. By following these steps, you can efficiently locate and utilize the Bible study materials and resources you need for your lessons.
