Resources to Serve You During the COVID-19 Outbreak
Coronavirus. It’s a word that will likely remain etched in each of our minds for years to come. With this word comes a daily reminder of the threat that the virus poses. These are uncertain times outside and inside the church. Congregations around the globe are experiencing significant constraints on their ability to gather corporately and in small groups. In Ligonier’s 50-year history as a ministry, we’ve seen nothing like this. Yet, church history reveals time and time again that Christians of conviction must rise above their circumstances—big or small—for the sake of the gospel to the glory of God.
Ligonier seeks to be the first to serve Christians around the world who are being awakened to the holiness of God. By God’s merciful provision of Dr. Sproul’s vision and the generosity of supporters like you, we are able to make many of our online outreaches even more available in order to serve churches and Christians around the world during this unprecedented moment.
Recently, we unlocked Ligonier’s entire teaching series library with over 2,500 lectures and more than 1,000 hours of teaching. These messages will remain free to stream through at least June 30. Stream any series on Ligonier’s website or on the Ligonier app. Our app is available in the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, as well as on Google Play for your phone or tablet. You can also get it on Amazon and Roku. Just visit Ligonier.org/app or search for “Ligonier” in your app store to begin.
During this time, we have also enabled you to freely download the digital study guides that accompany many of our teaching series. Just add a digital study guide to your online cart and visit checkout with no required payment. Digital study guides allow you to dig even deeper into your study and share what you are learning online with others in your community.
In place of this year’s National Conference, we hosted a special live online event, Made in the Image of God, on March 19. Over 100,000 people viewed the livestream as our Teaching Fellows and several guest teachers considered the reality that we have been created in God’s image. They also discussed the radical implications of the image of God for the unprecedented days in which we are living. You can watch each session from this event for free on our YouTube channel or in the Ligonier app.
Study groups at Ligonier Connect are now also free. To help you stay connected online with friends and church members, you can create your own private online classroom and invite friends to take any course in our library together. You can set a schedule for completing the group course, track the progress of your classmates, and receive notification if they ask any questions along the way. Creating a group is easy, and we’ll guide you through the process. Invite your friends and start learning together today.
Have an Amazon Prime account? We’ve made 20+ teaching series available to Prime members through June 30. This includes all seventy-three messages of Dr. W. Robert Godfrey’s monumental series A Survey of Church History, plus numerous other series.
Two of R.C. Sproul’s children’s stories are available as animatic videos on our YouTube channel for your family to watch together for free. Narrated by Dr. Sproul and delightfully illustrated, The Lightlings and The Prince’s Poison Cup captivate children and adults alike while also making core teachings of the Bible understandable to viewers of all ages.
