How to watch lessons online

Just wanted to give some tips for watching the Precepts lessons on line. It is hard to send you there with links because you have to be logged in to get to the right site.

  • Once you have logged in to Precepts, choose the BROADCASTS tab on the top.
  • Then in the middle of the screen you will see either "I heard it on" or "I watched it on"
  • Just below the brown button that is TV/LIGHTSOURCE.COM is a blue link to "watch at lightsource.com
  • That take you right to the Precepts lessons
Remember, you have to be logged in to Precepts in order to get there. Hope that helps. I know that navigating around the Precepts site is a little confusing.

precepts 101

Just wanted to pass on some pictures of how I do my Precepts study. You can do it any way that you want but here are some pictures of my notebook.
This is a shot of my notebook from my Ephesians study. I printed everything and then punched it and keep it in a binder. This notebook also keeps the study from my Life in the Spirit study that I also did this summer.I write my answers on notebook paper from the questions from the lessons. There is a bit of copy work (meaning listing things from verses). I have found it a great way to really remember the verses.
Here is a shot of the observation worksheets. I like marking them instead of in my Bible. My Bible is really old and the pages can't take all that writing. Plus, when you are doing such a long in depth study, there is a lot of marking that I don't necessarily want to do in the Bible that I use all the time.

Here is an up close picture of the text markings. Most of these markings were suggestions from the study guide.
I like to use the twistable crayola colored pencils. I keep them in a little tote with my notebook and Bible.

So, I know this is kind of a simple post. I just wanted to show you what my Precepts study stuff looks like. If I had you over for coffee and to let the kids play, I would get this stuff out and show you in person. Just imagine we are sipping some java and having a chat. =)

America at the Crossroads

OK, lets see if we can create some sort of a group here of fellow members of the body of Christ who want to take part in the new Precepts study. The new study starts tomorrow (Monday) and I am looking forward to diving in on this new in depth inductive study. What a great way to use the technology of today...

Let this be a place that you can share how you have been encouraged or challenged in the Word of God. I hope this a blessing to you and me. Can't wait to connect on a deeper level as we study the scriptures together from all over the country.

From what I can tell the new study starts tomorrow. If you have created a password and user name on Precepts, than you can find out where to watch or listen to the lesson. If there isn't a place to find it locally, you can watch it online. I gave all the details on the post on the other blog (HERE).

Make sure and print out the study guide and the observation worksheets. If you are new to Precepts, the idea is to mark the text as you notice key words and phrases. The study guide gives you words to look out for and ideas of how to mark them. I will try and put up some pictures of how my "notebook" looks. You can do it any way that you feel comfortable with.

Thanks again for joining me in digging into the scriptures together.
