  Find Your People Curriculum Kit

  $73.99

  Never in the history of civilization have we been more connected and felt more alone. We are all so lonely. What if fundamentally the ways we have set up our lives is broken? We’ve withdrawn rather than moved through it. We want supper clubs and friends, instead of war partners. We have a wrong view of community.

  This 7-session video Bible study begins with a look at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along. We will also discover throughout the study the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships:

  *Proximity
  *Shared Mission
  *Transparency
  *Accountability
  *Consistency

  The seven sessions include:

  *Week 1: Introduction / God’s Plan It is not good for man to be alone. (Creation)

  *Week 2: Shame / The Disruption of Community Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. (Shame)

  *Week 3: Sitting Around the Fire / Proximity I will make My dwelling among you. (God’s Presence)

  *Week 4: Working Together / Shared Mission Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. (Jesus and the Disciples)

  *Week 5: Open Doors / Transparency And all who believed were together and had all things in common. (Acts)

  *Week 6: Tribal Elders / Accountability Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (The Church Grows)

  Case For Heaven

  $29.99

  Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell.

  We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day.

  Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts–a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher–Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come. Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:
  *Is there an afterlife?
  *What is heaven like?
  *How will we spend our time there?
  *And what does it mean to see God face to face?

  With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death. With vulnerability, Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith. Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.

  7 Last Words

  $18.99

  Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.

  Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
  *”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
  *”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
  *”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
  *”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
  *”I thirst.”?
  *”It is finished.”?
  *”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

  With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
