Miracles : Gods Presence And Power In Creation
$50.00Miracles are not confined to the stories of Scripture; these signs of God’s presence and power in creation are experienced throughout our daily existence. Yet cultural challenges and modernity’s skepticism have marginalized belief in them as unreasonable and irrational, says Luke Timothy Johnson.
In this excellent resource for church professionals, Johnson reclaims Christian belief in miracles as integral to recovering a proper and strong sense of creation, recognizing the validity of personal experience and narrative and asserting the truth-telling quality of myth. His analysis includes:
a description of the competing symbolic worldviews that have framed the discussion on miracles, including secular debates and theological imagination;
interpretation of miracles consonant with the biblical construction of reality in the Old and New Testaments;
suggestions for four areas in the church’s life-teaching, preaching, prayer, and pastoral care-that can work together to shape a symbolic world, within which believers can expect, perceive, and celebrate the miracles in everyday life.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Daniel Dilemma Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99As Christians, how do we not only stay engaged with the ever-shifting, ungodly culture around us but also influence it for good? How do we stand strong without becoming brittle and dogmatic? How do we love people vastly different in their attitudes and lifestyles without compromising our biblical beliefs? These questions are being asked by Christians today from breakfast tables to water coolers to Bible study groups.
The book of Daniel provides us with clear answers. At the young age of sixteen, the Babylonians enslaved Daniel and took him from his homeland. Yet for the next seventy years of his captivity, Daniel remained firmly dedicated to God and his faith without yielding to the pagan influences of the culture around him. In so doing, he demonstrates to us today how we can remain standing strong when everyone around us is bowing down to cultural idols.
And Daniel did it without becoming rude, insulting, or angry! He understood the goal wasn’t to be right but to have influence. Christians are likewise called to take a stand today to reveal God’s truth and light, not their own. Daniel showed grace and truth to the people around him-just like Jesus did, and just like we’re called to do to a world in desperate need of the gospel.
Sessions include:
*God Never Changes
*Maintaining Our Identity
*Keeping Our Focus
*Staying Free of Pride
*Making the Most of Our Time
*Imitating Christ in All We DoDesigned for use with the Daniel Dilemma Video Study (sold separately).

Verdadera Historia Del Mundo – (Spanish)
$19.99Esta obra estudia la narrativa de la Biblia y su relato de la historia de del universo entero. La Biblia y las acciones de Dios que en ella se tratan, es lo que da significado a nuestras vidas y provee fundamento para nuestras acciones.
Los autores enfatizan la unidad total de la Biblia, tratandola como una narracion de la historia del mundo dividida en seis partes: creacion, pecado, Israel, Cristo, Iglesia y nueva creacion. Dentro de esa historia, dos temas generales mantienen la unidad del relato: el pacto, en el Antiguo Testamento y el reino de Dio, en el Nuevo Testamento. A traves de toda esta narracion, Dios es revelado.
La verdadera historia del mundo nos ensea la estructura narrativa de la Biblia y nos invita a participar en la misma historia, la cual es nada menos que la historia de Dios.
“Study the narrative of the Bible and how it relates to the history of the entire universe. The Bible and the actions of God give meaning to our lives and provide a foundation for our actions. Craig G. Bartholomew and Michael W. Goheen emphasize the unity of the Bible as a narrative of world history with six parts: creation, sin, Israel, Christ, church, and the new creation. Within this story, the covenant in the Old Testament and the kingdom of God in the New Testament are key themes that maintain overall unity. The True Story of the Whole World traces the structure of the Bible’s narrative for us and invites us to participate in that same story-nothing less than the story of God.”

Cherish Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.43Most married couples survive by gritting their teeth and holding on. But what if husbands sought to truly cherish their wives? What if in social settings they did their best to make sure she was heard? What if they supported her goals so she could work in her gifts? What if they bought the things she needed to open up her home and put the beauty of her hospitality on display? And what if wives adopted the same attitude? What if she made sure her husband knew she was his strongest supporter? What if she were willing to support him, stabilize him, bind up his wounds-spiritual and emotional-and turn him so his strongest side was always showing? What if she helped him risk failure out in the world because she made it known to him that he would always be her courageous champion? What would that do to him? For the relationship? In the Cherish Him, Cherish Her video-based study, bestselling author Gary Thomas shows how marriages can not only survive but also thrive when husbands and wives learn to cherish one another. How we can go from neglect and disrespect to cherish and adore. How we can send our marriages into a different dimension. How we can recalibrate our marriages when needed so we don’t suffer from apathy, indifference, and gradual drift. None of us want marriages where we grit our teeth and just tolerate each other because God’s Word says we don’t qualify for divorce. We don’t want marriages where our spouses really don’t like us, much less respect us. We want to be married to someone we cherish and who cherishes us, and it is possible to get to that point.

Live Full Walk Free Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99“What Happens in Corinth Stays in Corinth” If there had been a tourism industry back in ancient Greece, this could have easily been the slogan for Corinth. Centuries before there was Vegas-overindulging in wine and food, strip clubs and peep shows, and losing your shirt at the craps table-there was Corinth, the “Sin City” of its day. Here overindulgence was the byword; pleasure the goal, and tolerance the motto. Sound familiar? And like the real tag line for Vegas-“What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas”- Corinth’s reputation implied that you were going to fall into damaging behaviors, and engage in activities that were secret, hidden and shameful-it was expected and celebrated!
The Apostle Paul knew the city and its temptations very well. He lived in Corinth for eighteen months, helping the rookie church there gain its footing in a slippery society. However, after Paul left the city, the Corinthians slid all too quickly into their previous behaviors and vices. They had new hearts, but they couldn’t shake their old habits. It was in this circumstance Paul wrote his extraordinary letter to the Corinthians, a confused community of believers struggling to live uprightly in a falling down world. The warped, glittering culture of their city had crept into the church, to the point where there was little that set them apart from their loose-living neighbors. They were in trouble, just as our modern culture continues its own spiraling downward trend. But, just as Paul speaks into the lives of the Corinthian church members, he speaks to us here and now with an exhilarating message of grace and freedom. Wonderfully, Paul’s letter offers us so much wisdom and clarity for a different way of life, one that doesn’t just avoid shady TV shows and online videos and hunker down into sanitized Christian enclaves. Rather, we are challenged to live abundantly in Sin City, to dynamically contribute to culture and cultivate holy lives, not in our own power, but through the power and freedom of Jesus Christ. Touching on themes of identity, purpose, and purity, this Bible study offers women a bold route to freedom, a path of strength, clarity, and nonconformity. These six sessions will equip women to open their eyes the complexities of life in a sin-soaked world and to handle each situation they face with boldness and grace.

He Chose The Nails Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Every gift from God reveals his love. But no gift reveals his love more than the gifts of the cross. They came not wrapped in paper, but in passion. Not placed around a tree, but a cross. Not covered with ribbons, but sprinkled with blood.
Much has been said about the gift of the cross itself, but what of the other gifts? What of the nails, the crown of thorns? The garments taken by the soldiers? The garments given for the burial? Have we taken time to open these gifts? Jesus didn’t have to give them, you know. The only act required for our salvation was the shedding of blood. Yet he did so much more.
The hill of the cross is rich with God’s gifts. So let’s examine them. Let’s unwrap the gifts of grace as if—or perhaps, indeed—for the first time. And as we touch them—as we feel the timber of the cross and trace the braid of the crown and finger the point of the spike—we need to pause and listen. Perchance we will hear him whisper: “I did it just for you.”
Sessions include:
*He Chose to Be One of Us (Crown of Thorns)
*He Chose to Forgive Us (Nails)
*He Chose to Love Us Forever (Cross)

Play With Fire Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$18.99In this six-session video based Bible study Bianca Juarez Olthoff delivers a bible-infused message that will help women gain new insight into God’s character, discover the personal and powerful nature of the Holy Spirit, and understand the unique fire God places in each person, helping them to fulfill their God-given calling and Kingdom purpose.
Fire can burn and destroy but it can also refine and bring beautiful new life. In each powerful video session you will be reminded, or perhaps learn for the first time, that God has HUGE dreams for you. He’s whispering in the wind and speaking through the fire and shouting in silence the extraordinary dream He is birthing in you. His dream for you is far greater than the dream you have for yourself. It’s not your identity or income or influence that will make this happen. Like Zechariah 4:6 says, “It’s not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the Lord.
God isn’t waiting until you have more resources or a husband or a job so he can use you. He can use you now. Stop asking when you are going to get your gifts or talents or calling and see what’s in your hand. You need to play with some fire.

Story Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99The Story group Bible study provides groups of all sizes the opportunity to discuss and apply what they experience during the 31-week The Story church campaign.
To understand the Bible, says Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life.
The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that puts the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.
In 31 sessions, The Story video-based group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible’s characters and in your own life.
Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s. The Story Study Guide and DVD (sold separately) are designed for use by groups of all sizes, including small groups and Sunday school and adult education classes.

Espiritu Santo – (Spanish)
$16.99El Espiritu Santo le acompaa fielmente en todos las luchas y alegrias de su vida. Fue enviado para revelar a Jesus y empoderar a todo el Cuerpo de Cristo.
Sin embargo, una de las figuras mas malentendidas por la Iglesia es el Espiritu Santo. Se pretende entender Su obra y Su poder, sin conocerlo primeramente como una Persona. Y es, ante todo, una Persona que ha prometido no dejarnos ni desampararnos jamas, porque somos Su pasion y deleite.

The Holy Spirit keeps your company in every battle and in moments of joy. He was sent to reveal Jesus and empower the Body of Christ.
However, He has been misunderstood by church and His people. They pretend to understand His works and His power, without knowing him as a Person. And the Holy Spirit is, first of all, a Person who has promised never to leave us nor forsake us, because we are His passion and delight.
The straightforward facts in this interactive book will take you to:
*Develop and keep a close friendship with the Holy Spirit.
*Talk to Him, ask Him and listen to Him.

When God Doesnt Fix It Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99For years, recording artist Laura Story believed common Christians myths such as God always promises happy endings, we can avoid pain if we serve God, and God will fix our problems if we just pray hard enough. But this all changed in 2006 when she her husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He would never be the same. The fairytale life Laura had dreamed was no longer possible, yet through her broken dreams she was able to find joy and a deeper intimacy with Jesus than she knew was possible. In When God Doesn’t Fix It, Laura examines what the Bible says about God and why our lives often don’t turn out the way we expect. She examines the brokenness of some of the heroes of our faith-men like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul-and shows how despite their flawed stories, God used them in extraordinary ways. This was not because of their faith but because of the faithfulness of their God. God may not fix everything. In fact, our situation might never change or get better. But we can get better regardless of our situation.

Circle Maker Student Edition (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Pray Circles Around Your Greatest Dreams and Biggest Fears
Prayer can sometimes be a frightening thing-how do you approach the maker of the world, and what exactly can you pray for? In this student adaptation of The Circle Maker, Pastor Mark Batterson uses the true legend of Honi the circle maker, a first-century Jewish sage whose bold prayer saved a generation, to uncover the boldness God asks of us at times, and what powerful prayer can mean in your life. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences as a circle maker, as well as sharing stories of young people who have experienced God’s blessings, Batterson explores how you can approach God in a new way by drawing prayer circles around your dreams, your problems, and, most importantly, God’s promises. In the process, you’ll discover this simple yet life-changing truth: God honors bold prayers; bold prayers honor God. And you’re never too young for God to use you for amazing things.
Updated with discussion questions that tie to the Circle Maker video curriculum.

Kingdom Woman Group Video Experience Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$11.99When a Kingdom Woman retires for the evening, a frustrated and worn out devil ought to be saying, “We messed with the wrong woman today.” This study guide is a companion resource to the video small-group study based on the book Kingdom Woman, which instructs every Christ-following woman on how to tap into the power of God as she finds and fulfills the purpose for which God has fashioned her.
A Kingdom Woman embraces a simple premise: unless a Kingdom rests firmly under the authority of the ruler, anarchy reigns. That’s why a Kingdom Woman always seeks to align herself and operate under the authority of God-in every area of life. With practical insights and applications from coauthor Chrystal Evans Hurst, Tony Evans explains how that process can unleash new purpose, power, and possibilities-in both the lives of Kingdom Women and those they love. This curriculum can be covered in about six weeks.
