We have three suggestions for these special editions:
- Individual use. As always they are ideal for individual devotional use. Listening to all four in a row is an excellent way to travel through the Easter story devotionally. Combined with prayer and your own reading, they will illuminate the Bible text and draw you to worship.
- Church services. These special editions (in whole or in part) could be used in a church service as an introduction to a sermon or talk on Easter. For any of the subjects listed below, the episode provides a good introduction that would lead into the talk or as a section within the talk.
- Small groups and home groups. But these special editions will be particularly suitable for small groups and home groups. To help you with this we have suggested below an outline for a devotional small group session. This can, of course, by modified in any way you see fit. If followed as listed, it would take approximately an hour. However you use them, we hope that these free resources will bless you this Easter.
