The Revised Common Lectionary was created by clergy to provide synergy across denominations so that the messages heard each Sunday and during the week followed predetermined Scripture selections. Each Snapshot was developed for an adult discussion group gathered to discuss weekly worship Scripture selections in more detail. They generally follow the Lectionary. Some of the notes used for this group are provided below.

The study material is gathered from the Internet and does not represent original work. Material is a “snapshot” of available study material and where it was used as is, the material is referenced back to the original website in the footnotes1Note: The material listed below can be referenced back to 2005. As a result, the footnotes to references may link to resources that are no longer available. While Lostpine does periodic checks to update these links, there are times that the original resource is not available any more. We leave the “broken link” as a marker to point to where the information was originally referenced.. Some of Lostpine’s favorite resources can be found here.

The Bible Studies in the section entitled SNAPSHOTS was originally started in March of 2005. The Study below ends its production with 448 Snapshots.  Lostpine has added a new series based, not on the common lectionary, but on the less common Scriptures. You can find Shadows here, published each Friday.
