Video resources for Life Group (Part 1)

Francis Chan: Crazy Love DVD
Excellent. Watch a few chapters and discuss each one with the group. Don't need the group to read through the book as the DVD works well as a standalone resource. I came up with all my own discussion questions for a more personal touch.

Each video is about 3 to 8 minutes long and John Piper answers all sorts of different questions. Hundreds to choose from. I downloaded 15 of what I thought were the most apt for my life group and got them to vote on the ones they wanted to watch. Viewed 3 or 4 each evening. Very very good. Used 'Roxio Toast' to burn them onto a DVD as video.

Very good short clips for generating discussions. Watching a DVD longer than 20 minutes doesn't tend to work in a life group setting, so these clips tend to be very good. Use http://keepvid.com to rip videos from YouTube and Roxio Toast to burn the video onto DVD.

The preaches tend to be much too long for a life group evening. But some of the shorter clips a great, such as 'The Peasant Princess' Q&A sessions. Can generate a lot of discussions.
