In our search for an online church that would speak to our high school & young adult kids in a way that they can engage with, we stumbled across the idea of going to a small group format instead.
Preaching is a wonderful tradition, as is 3-5 worship songs beforehand, just like you'd find in an in-person church service. But it's not always the most participatory format when watching from your living room.
We liked the online church services that we used to watch as a family, but we're enjoying our new format much better.
I've loved watching The Chosen ever since it came out, and it continues going strong with solid story-telling, Biblical plot lines (almost word-for-word at times), and wonderful acting. It brings scripture to life in a fresh way, one that's never been done before.
It turns out that quite a few others feel the same way I do, and small groups have been created around the world, using The Chosen as a conduit to discussing what the Bible really says about who Jesus is.
We decided to do the same.
Here's what our typical "Online Church" looks like now:
- Watch an episode of The Chosen (we're on S3 E6 right now)
- Using a discussion guide, we work through questions pertaining to that episode
- Work on learning scripture memory verses using charades or some other activity
- Write down prayer items, and then pray over one another's requests
