Experience Jesus Really Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Gu
$21.99In Experience Jesus. Really., John Eldredge explains how God calls believers in Christ to “be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:9) and live a fearless life for him. But in today’s anxiety-ridden world, we often fall into the trap of believing our obstacles are too great and our trials too deep for us to lead anything other than a reactionary and fear-based existence. The need for courage is at the core of every single issue we will face in this life-whether in our relationships, our career, or our faith. In this study, John shows participants how to see their circumstances from God’s perspective, learn how to rely on God’s strength and believe he is with them, and return to the state of courage that he wants them to have when it comes to facing the issues of life. As Paul wrote, we are to “be strong in the Lord” and “put on the full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-11), but we can’t do that when we are constantly in fear and fleeing the battle.

Story Of Reality Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Study the narrative backbone of the Christian story and how all the plotlines of that story are resolved in the end.
Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It’s more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly.

*The vital answer to the question: What is Christianity?
*The five basic elements forming the plotline of the entire Christian story.
*How the Christian story explains why there’s evil in the world.
*The precise reason why Jesus is the only way of salvation.
*Why biblical faith is not a leap of wishful thinking.
*Reasons why the story’s record of the life and resurrection of Jesus is reliable.
*How the biblical view of reality is the best explanation for the way things are.This video-based study is designed to be experienced in a group setting or any small gathering and includes outlines of the video teachings, reflections, self-assessment exercises, discussion questions, and other activities to help you understand the concepts and put them into practice.

Saving Truth Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99How Christians can guard their own minds against the lies that surround us and defend truth and clarity to a world that rejects both.
By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion, the rise of the “post-truth” mindset, and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray will awaken you and your group to the plight we find ourselves in and challenge Christians to steer away from contributing to such a culture by instead finding hope in the clarity that Christ offers.
In this eight-session, video-based study (DVD/streaming video sold separately) is designed to take you deeper into the topic of meaning and clarity through personal reflection and Scripture engagement and will:
*Help you understand the post-truth mindset and how it infects and affects us all.
*Equip you with facts and knowledge about the various areas of life where we are steeped in a post-truth mindset and losing our bearings as a culture, specifically: our freedom, our humanity, our sexuality, faith and science, and religious pluralism.
*Explain how the message of Jesus can answer our deepest questions, and how the actions of Jesus can bring truth and clarity to a post-truth culture desperately in need of objective, biblical truth.
Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. And those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, or intolerant.
For individuals or groups who feel like they’re enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the Saving Truth Study Guide sheds light on the way to see through the fog that surrounds us–by seeing Jesus and his message as the fixed point of reference that we so desperately need.
This study guide has everything you need for a full personal or group experience.

Wine In The Word Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren’t we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn’t have anything to do with that. Doesn’t the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?
Does it surprise you that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went.
Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil’s tool of temptation. And we’ve all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.
In this six-session video Bible study, scholar and author Gisela H. Kreglinger and pastor and author Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy, and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God’s earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things.

Teaching videos are key in understanding this study. Revisit familiar stories and historical figures, challenge your basic knowledge, and discover deeper meanings in the text. As God reveals Himself through Scripture, we can only begin to understand ourselves when we first glimpse the character, attributes, and promises of our Creator.
Features:
*Personal study segments with homework to complete between 10 weeks of group sessions
*Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups
*Essential teaching videos (30 to 35 minutes per session) that build upon and tie together the personal study, available for purchase or rent
*Verse-by-verse study for comprehension, interpretation, and application
Video Sessions:
*Session One: Introduction (37:34)-Introducing Genesis as the seed plot for the rest of the Bible and the history of Hebrew people, Jen reminds us that we can only truly know God, and consequently our place in the world, through His Word. Genesis informs our knowledge and worship of God, our awareness of self, and our understanding of the entire Bible.
*Session Two: The God Who Was in the Beginning (40:26)-In the creation account, we are so prone to focus on all that God creates — the land, animals, and mankind. But, Jen encourages us to instead hone in on the Who of the creation story and allow that growing knowledge of God to inform the way we walk forward in faith and worship in our everyday lives.
*Session Three: Six Days and a Rest (39:30)-Detailing the creation account, Jen describes God’s creative nature and the way that He spoke intentional order and form into the world.
*Session Four: Created in the Image of God (36:34)-As God created mankind, male and female, He also orchestrated perfect communion and harmony between man, woman, and God in the Garden of Eden. Jen focuses on God’s plan for life and flourishing, examining the beauty of the His design.
*Session Five: Paradise Lost (40:11)-In the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden Jen helps us understand the allure of sin, God’s consistent intention to do us good, a

Chase Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99What are you chasing?
Are you doing everything right but still feel empty? Are you so busy doing things for God and everyone else that you altogether miss him? Do you ever, in your busy life, stop and see him, really see him?
Jennie Allen felt paralyzed in her relationship with God. It occurred to her that maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe God was after something else. When she stumbled across the phrase in 1 Samuel 13, “David was a man after God’s own heart,” she was intrigued. She knew David was both completely broken, and completely sold out for God.
In Chase, a eight-session video Bible study on the life of David, Jennie shows us a man who spent his life chasing after God, instead of what we often chase within ourselves. After examining a life chasing after God, we learn of several things we shouldn’t be chasing:
*Don’t chase self-worth by achieving more
*Don’t chase freedom by protecting yourself
*Don’t chase approval by being moral
*Don’t chase love by running away from guilt
*Don’t chase answers by rejecting God
*Don’t chase satisfaction by rebelling
*Don’t chase fulfillment. Chase God!Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, discover that God has carved out a space in each of us that only he can fill. So, whether you are running from God or working your tail off to please him, David’s journey will challenge your view of God. He is the only thing we can chase that won’t leave us feeling more empty.
The Chase Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the life of David to engage the mind and heart.

Restless Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Are you numb? Bored? Are you afraid you’re wasting your life?
We all desperately want to live for something. We die a little inside when we think we aren’t living for something, and are ready to die when we think we can’t.
But, Jennie Allen says that the restlessness we feel might not be a bad thing. When our restlessness awakens our longing for more of God, it can be a catalyst to living the life of purpose God designed for us.
In Restless, an eight-session video Bible study, Jennie uses the story of Joseph to explain how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater story of God–and how our story can do the same. In this study you will:
*Explore practical ways to identify the threads of your life
*Learn how to intentionally weave those threads together
*Discover how your gifts, passions, places, and relationships aren’t random; they’re deliberate and meaningful
*Speak the truth about your suffering: it’s possible it has produced the very thing you want to give back to the world
The Restless Study Guide engages the mind and heart through stories, Bible study from the life of Joseph, and implements a tool we call “threads” to help you see your own personal story and uncover the raw materials God has given you to use for his glory and purpose.

Get Out Of Your Head Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide
$24.99Stop the spiral of toxic thoughts by learning how to become imitators of Christ.
Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen–the visionary behind the million-strong IF: Gathering–knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: “I’ll never be good enough.” “Other people have better lives than I do.” “God couldn’t really love me.”
We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it’s the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ.
In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study, Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlooks, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by:
*Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ
*Shifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to God
*Fighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delight
*Escaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitude
*Learning to forget what’s behind so we can move ahead
*Defeating anxiety with a mind like Christ’sOur enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.
The Get Out of Your Head Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the book of Philippians to engage the mind and heart.

Final Days Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$15.99This Lent ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. The Leader Guide contains discussion questions and session plans for a six-week study of The Final Days by Matt Rawle. It includes opening and closing prayers, optional activities, and session goals for each week and is designed to be used with the book and DVD. The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same. Each Gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather the reveal an abundant, diverse, and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Stuck Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Do you feel stuck?
So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can’t even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think.
In Stuck, a seven-session video Bible study, Bible teacher Jennie Allen explores where we are stuck and why:
*We are stuck in anger because we aren’t trusting God to defend us.
*We are stuck in discontentment because we are looking to the wrong things for fulfillment.
*We are stuck in worry because we have made something other than God our idol.
*We are stuck doing too much because we don’t know our real purpose.
*We are stuck in sadness because we have wrong expectations.Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, Jennie shows us how we’ve been trying to fix this stuck feeling with everything but God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore us. Our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, and we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom.
The Stuck Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study to engage the mind and heart.

Person Of Interest Investigators Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide
$24.99Imagine investigating a murder in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. How would you identify a person of interest in such a case?
Designed to be used alongside Person of Interest and the Person of Interest Video Study, this study guide will teach you the same investigative strategies used by detective J. Warner Wallace to examine the claims of history.
Dateline featured cold-case detective and bestselling author, J. Warner Wallace, has investigated a number of these “no body missing person” cases and has successfully identified and convicted the killers, even without the victim’s body or evidence from the crime scene.
Can the historicity of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Can the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he employs a unique investigative strategy to confirm the historicity and deity of Jesus–without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Imagine a scenario in which every New Testament document has been destroyed, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone to reconstruct the identity of Jesus as the world’s most important person of interest.
Person of Interest will:
*Invite readers into the life of a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case
*Teach readers how to become good detectives, using an innovative and unique “‘fuse’ and ‘fallout'” investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history
*Help readers to explore common objections to Christianity
Concrete, compelling, and unique in its approach, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.
This study guide has everything you need for a full personal or group experience.
*The study guide itself – with thoughtful introductions, questions for personal reflection and application, and discussion questions for leading a group or team.
*An individual access code to stream all video sessions online. (You don’t need to buy a DVD!)

Esther Bible Study Book With Video Access
$38.31A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary-the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. The story unfolds at a time when the people of God are split between nations with an uncertain future. While the name of God may not be mentioned in the book of Esther, its pages highlight His work among His people and foreshadow Jesus’s very ministry to us-darkness to light, mourning to celebration, death to life.
In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai-a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.
Features:?
*Verse-by-verse Bible study of the book of Esther
*Content that explores the historical context of Esther’s day
*7 teaching videos from Kelly Minter, approximately 30-40 minutes each, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
*7 group sessions and 6 weeks of personal Bible study
*Beautiful full color interior to enhance your experience
Video Sessions:
*Session One: Introduction (22:47)-In this opening video, Kelly teaches on the historical and cultural context of the book of Esther. The book of Esther tells the history of God’s people after the exile, specifically those who stayed in Persia. Through the accounts of this book, we see God’s faithfulness to His people everywhere and at all times.
*Session Two: Welcome to the Empire (35:03)-Teaching through Esther 1, Kelly describes the oppressive life in the Persian empire and draws modern parallels to the spirit of empire in our world today. The realities of life in our broken world stir in us a longing for God’s kingdom, for the humble and kind nature of King Jesus.
*Session Three: God’s People in Faraway Places (39:20)-Kelly’s teaching through Esther 2-3 highlights the profound truth that God does not forget His people. He will bless His people wherever they are and use them to accomplish His will.
*Session Four: For Such a Time as This (32:52)-The events in Esther 4 highlight how God can use us in big ways to impact His kingdom. Kelly challenges us to open our eyes to what He wants to do in and through us for His glory and for the good of others.

Scandal Of The Kingdom Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99There is a striking difference between the way that most churches operate today and the way Jesus the conducted his ministry when he was on earth. Most churches today spend their time and resources trying to get people to come into their doors and join their fellowship. But Jesus didn’t concern himself with trying to get followers. One time, he even responded to such a request by saying, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head” (Matthew 8:12). The implication to the person making the request was clear: Do you really want to be my follower and lead that kind of life?
Instead, what we find in the Gospels is that the message Jesus taught–and in fact the sole message of the New Testament–was the nature and availability of the kingdom of God. It was now accessible to all people, both Jews and Gentiles alike. Jesus revealed much of these scandalous truths about God’s kingdom through parables. Yet while these parables constitute some of his best-known teachings, they are also some of the least understood. Even the disciples weren’t always sure what they meant.
Perhaps this is why they asked Jesus, “Why do you speak to the people in parables” (Matthew 13:10). Jesus responded by saying, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, not to them” (verse 11). Jesus knew that while the kingdom of God was available to everyone, not everyone would have the desire to go through the work to “ask, seek, knock” and “receive” the truths that had come to bring (see Matthew 7:7-8).
The Scandal of the Kingdom Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, presents carefully curated new material from the late Dallas Willard to help readers understand the heart of Jesus’ key parables, why Jesus chose story to communicate life’s deepest truths, and how these stories are still revolutionary (and even shocking) in showing us how to live out God’s kingdom on earth today. With the rich insights and biblical scholarship common to all of Willard’s works, this guide will help readers:
*Become more passionate about living the gospel in the full scope of Jesus’ vision for them
*Better share their faith with those who have become disillusioned with Christianity
*Unlock the excitement of living in the upside-down kingdom of GodThe Scandal of the Kingdom Workbook is for anyone who:
*Wants to explore Jesus’ teachings but are confused about what his parables mean
*Loves Dalla

I Want To Trust You But I Dont Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/S
$24.99Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it’s also what trips you up after you’ve been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you’re wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it’s not simply about finding better people to walk with. It’s about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.
In I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t Bible Study, Lysa digs into the Scriptures and helps you apply how to:
*identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you’re feeling uneasy;
*stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial what if questions to better process your doubts;
*recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and
*understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced and start healing from the inside out.

People describe Jesus in a lot of different ways, but have you ever thought of Him as relaxed? This doesn’t mean that Jesus didn’t grieve or become angry, but the Gospels portray Him as never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where He was, trusting and obeying His Father.
Could the same be said of you? Are you relaxed? You can be. We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life’s stresses, the world’s discouragements, and our own striving for growth often get in the way.

He is as visible on the first page of Genesis as he is on the last page in Revelation–as present in the Garden of Eden as he is in the garden tomb and the new heavens and new earth. As readers follow this thread, they will discover a new depth to the Bible’s meaning as they come to discover Christ in every chapter of the story.
In Forever, the sixth study in this series, readers will come to the conclusion and resolution of God’s great story. At a time that only the Father knows, everything in heaven and earth will be put right once and for all. Those opposed to Jesus will get what they have asked for–an eternity without his goodness and glory. The redeemed will gather in his presence from every race and nation, singing the song of Jesus who rescued them from death and brought them into unending life.
Lessons include:
*The Other Side
*Focused on Eternity
*The Narrow Way
*Forever Changed
*Vision of Heaven
