The Lord’s Prayer: Discover the Secrets of the World’s Best-Known Prayer – This professionally produced 10-minute video shows how Linda, a typical casual church–goer, learns to slow down and begin to apply the words of The Lord’s Prayer to her life. Guided by the voice of God, the two take part in a give-and-take conversation in which Linda discovers what God wants from her. At the end of their talk, she begins to take the first few tentative steps toward the life she is meant to have... with God’s assurance that He will be with her every step of the way. For all ages, but especially meaningful for adults 25-65. A study guide comes with the videotape that is designed to use in groups or for one’s individual spiritual journey.

Loose Connections: Tighten up Your Connections with God – In this production, Jocelyn’s hectic schedule is cut short by a long, impatient wait at an auto repair shop. She strikes up a conversation with a man named Jesus, whom she assumes works at the shop. They discuss Jocelyn’s feelings about going to church–that there are too many expectations of her and a lot of guilt for not tithing–so she attends less and less. Jesus tells Jocelyn that when her son, Frank, prays for her, he merely asks that she know the she is really loved. When she realizes the power of that simple prayer, Jocelyn knows that her heart is ready to lead her back to church. Discussion/study guide included. An essential tool for stewardship education for both adults and youth. Click here to order from the TENS on-line store.
