With messages based on the church calendar's three-year lectionary, individual devotions are based on Psalms, the Old Testament, the New Testament, and Gospel texts. Additional devotions explore a hymn from the Lutheran Service Book, a "classic" text from some LHM resource, and a sermon excerpt by a previous Speaker for The Lutheran Hour®. Each day's audio is provided by Speaker Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler. The Daily Devotions offer an excellent opportunity to study God's Word through text and reflection questions. Go to www.lhm.org/dailydevotions to read today's devotion or subscribe to receive devotions via email. - LHM video-based Bible Studies cover a variety of topics for any group and will enhance your biblical study while drawing you closer to your study group.
God's Word provides the light we need (Psalm 119:105). LHM's free downloadable online Bible study videos are written by pastors and other professionals. Each study has a discussion guide expanding the video footage with supporting Scripture, commentary, questions, and other features to maximize the topic. You can purchase these on DVD or download them for free at www.lhm.org/studies. - How Can I Talk to Others About Jesus?
Research shows that most Christians have few or no spiritual conversations with the people around them in an average year, often because they are nervous or wonder what to say. It doesn't have to be this way. Other Christians report having spiritual conversations as a source of joy and even laughter with the people they talk with! If you'd like to learn more about how it can be this way for you, go to www.lhm.org/curve/! You will find all the resources you need in a learning style that fits your lifestyle, including online courses, books, or webinar style presentations. - The Lutheran Hour radio program proclaims the salvation story of Jesus every week to more than 1 million listeners on nearly 1,800 stations throughout North America, as well as on the American Forces Network, through a mobile app, and online. For more information, visit www.lutheranhour.org or call 1-800-876-9880.
