-Titulo Original : The Wonder Of Advent - Bible Study Book With Video Access Delighting In The Hope, Joy, Peace, And Love Of Christmas-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: More than any other time of year, Christmas brings with it an undeniable sense of wonder and awe. The Advent season gives us the opportunity to delight in the promises we celebrate at Christmas: the HOPE that Jesus will return and make all things new; the JOY that comes from worshiping Him today and for eternity; the PEACE we experience with God today and we long for our world to experience when it is redeemed; and the LOVE of a God who sacrificed His own Son to be in relationship with us. In The Wonder of Advent, spend a week considering each of the themes of Advent-hope, joy, peace, and love. Each week youll trace that theme throughout Scripture by looking at: 1) an Old Testament prophecy; 2) a scene from the Christmas story; 3) a moment from Jesus’s earthly ministry; 4) a teaching of Jesus; and 5) a promise from Revelation. When your eyes are opened to these threads in Scripture, youll stand in awe of the glory and love of God, and youll be motivated to share the wonder of Advent with the world. Features: 4 weeks of personal study 4 devotional videos featuring music by Adrienne Camp, approximately 15 minutes per session, available via redemption code for individual video-streaming access, printed in Bible study book Leader helps for group discussion Beautiful full color interior to enhance your experience Specific Advent activities for kids, teens, and adults Benefits: Be reminded of the hope, joy, peace, and love available in Jesus.

In this video session, joy is the focus with Adrienne Camp’s rendition of “O Come All Ye Faithful” and a Scripture reading and the lighting of the Advent wreath’s joy candle. In her teaching time, Adrienne explains that true joy comes when we put our trust in the Lord, when we choose to focus on who He is rather than how things are going in our lives.

This is the focus of the third week of Advent.

She has organized and led studies for women in home, church, and parachurch contexts. Her passion is to see others become articulate and committed followers of Christ, with a clear understanding of why they believe what they believe, grounded in the Word of God. Jen is the author of Ten Words to Live By: Delighting in and Doing What God Commands, Women of the Word, None Like Him, In His Image, and Bible studies exploring the Sermon on the Mount and the books of Genesis, Exodus, Hebrews, and 1 Peter. You can find her at jenwilkin . How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. Features: Leader helps for group discussion Personal study to be completed between the 10 group sessions Teaching videos, approximately 35-45 minutes, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book Benefits: Study 1, 2, and 3 John verse by verse. Find encouragement in the truth that God loves you. Learn to discern the truth of God from a lie. Be challenged to remain steadfast in your faith.

She also highlights some of the main themes that will come up time and again in the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John-the call to walk in righteousness, show love to each other, and guard the truth revealed in God’s Word. Week Two: A Credible Witness (45:50)-Jen’s teaching on 1 John 1:1-2:2 walks us through how John establishes himself as a credible witness to Jesus and gives us practical ways we can be the same for others, as people who know Him. We are challenged to be women who are lights in the darkness, who live in a way that promotes the growth of righteousness in others, and to advocate or intercede on behalf of others. Week Three: The Tests of Righteousness and Love (44:06)-As Jen walks through 1 John 2:3-17, she explains John’s first two “tests” that help bring assurance to the sincerity of one’s faith-the tests of righteousness and love. She helps us understand what it means to walk as Jesus walked and to love as Jesus loved. Week Four: The Test of Truth, The Call to Abide (37:55)-For week four, Jen covers 1 John 2:18-29, which includes John’s third “test” for assessing one’s faith, the test of truth, which we do by holding everything we are taught by others up against the teachings of God‘s Word. This portion of John’s letter also introduces the call to abide in Christ, to make your home in Him. Week Five: Practice Righteousness, Pursue Love, Possess Assurance (47:53)-With this week’s teaching of 1 John 2:29-3:24, Jen examines what it means to be a part of God’s family, to be “called children of God.” In response to John’s teaching, Jen challenges us to make confession a regular practice, love others actively, and rest assured in our identity as children of God.

-Titulo Original : Ruth Loss, Love & Legacy - Bible Study Book (revised & Expanded) With Video Access-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can easily get lost in a narrative where, at the beginning of the story, heartache reigned, but it was soon replaced by joy. Perhaps we’re drawn to these tales because they not only provide an escape, but hope. Many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, its not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment. In this 7-session study from Kelly Minter, well examine Ruths journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. Well see how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores. First released in 2009, this study is now updated with fresh content and new teaching videos from Kelly. Features: Leader helps for group discussion 6 weeks of personal study to be completed between the 7 group sessions 7 teaching videos, approximately 25-30 minutes per session, available via redemption code for individual video-streaming access, printed in Bible study book Benefits: Understand how God’s law was and is meant to lead to life and flourishing for His people. Learn to trust God’s providence even when redemption in your circumstances may seem impossible. Trace shadows of Jesus, the Messiah to come, in Ruth’s story and Boaz’s role as her kinsman redeemer. Video Sessions: Session One: Introduction (18:35)-In her introductory teaching, Kelly provides background information for the book of Ruth and insight into what life was like for the people of God during a dark time in their history. Ruth’s story offers encouragement in our own dark places that God is still working among His people today. Session Two: Two Journeys (31:53)-Kelly teaches the book of Ruth is a picture of God’s grace and faithfulness. Through the examples of Naomi, Orpah, and Ruth, Kelly helps us see that the way we respond to God in our grief matters. We’re also reminded that God is not limited by our impossible circumstances. Session Three: Arriving (36:39)-After a very long journey, we follow Ruth and Naomi as they arrive in Bethlehem. As this part of their story unfolds, so does our understanding of God’s heart for the lost and hurting. Kelly reminds us that God blesses everyday obedience and faithfulness to Him, as seen in the “chance” encounter between Ruth and Boaz. Session Four: An Encounter (31:23)-In this session, Kelly highlights how the heart of God is on display through Boaz. Boaz’s leadership of his property and his care for Ruth and Naomi show his love for the outsider-the vulnerable, broken, and hurting. Kelly encourages you to remember that God doesn’t merely love you; He sees you, and He redeems you. Session Five: A Proposal (34:07)-With vibrant imagery and helpful biblical context, Kelly explains the journey Ruth took to meet with Boaz on the threshing floor and Boaz’s commitment to be Ruth and Naomi’s kinsman-redeemer through marriage to Ruth. God used Ruth’s obedience to transform her life. Kelly challenges: Are you willing to follow God in the next right step of obedience, too? Session Six: Redemption (35:51)-The marriage of Boaz and Ruth is a celebration of the love, faithfulness, and redemptive power of God in the lives of Naomi and Ruth. Kelly teaches us it is also a reminder that there is nothing in our lives that God cannot redeem. Session Seven: Legacy (35:29)-Kelly closes the study with the reminder that Ruth and Naomi’s story doesn’t end when the book of Ruth ends. Theirs is a story that leaves a lasting legacy through Ruth’s son, Obed, and eventually through Jesus. Kelly’s final challenge is that we would be people like Ruth, people who make godly choices that leave a legacy of God’s faithfulness when we’re ...

-Titulo Original : When You Pray - Bible Study Book With Video Access A Study Of Six Prayers In The Bible-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ. Features: Leader helps for group discussion 6 weeks of personal study to be completed between 7 group sessions Teaching videos, approximately 25-40 minutes, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book Benefits: Explore the different types of prayer modeled in Scripture. Understand how prayer unites believers to God and to one another. Learn how to overcome struggles that keep you from talking to God. Video Sessions: Session One: Introduction (22:01)-What is the purpose of prayer? Why, and better yet how, do I pray? How can God’s Word shape the words we say back to Him? Listen in as our team of Bible teachers give their thoughts on these common questions, share their personal prayer experiences and struggles, and encourage you to join God in the never-ending conversation He longs to have with you. Session Two: “Your Kingdom Come” with Kelly Minter (36:02)-In this teaching video, Kelly Minter uses the backdrop of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6 and more of Jesus’s teaching in the Sermon on the Mount to remind us about the character of God the Father, the One we talk to when we pray. From Jesus’s own words, we learn that God is personal, powerful, responsive, and altogether good. Session Three: “My Heart Rejoices in the Lord” with Jackie Hill Perry (36:57)-Petition, or presenting our requests to God, is one of the most popular types of prayers. Through her verse-by-verse study of Hannah’s prayers in 1 Samuel 1 and 2, Jackie Hill Perry helps us understand that God desires to hear our requests, and thanks to Jesus, we are able to bring them before Him. Session Four: “Your Works Are Wondrous” with Jen Wilkin (43:23)-Another type of prayer we see modeled frequently in the Bible is adoration, or praise. A great example of this is David’s prayer in Psalm 139. Jen Wilkin’s verse-by-verse teaching through this psalm highlights the attributes, or character traits, of God that David included in his psalm of praise. David’s words serve as a great example for us of how we, too, can praise God through prayer. Session Five: “How Long, O Lord?” with Jennifer Rothschild (37:57)-We often want to avoid prayers of grief or lament because we may think God doesn’t have time for our tears, or perhaps our needs are too tiny, or maybe we are afraid to feel what we can’t fix so we stuff. Using the words of Psalm 13 as her guide, Jennifer Rothschild teaches that lament is a safe place for you to feel your feelings, and it is a sacred place where God reveals who He is. Session Six: “May You Be Filled” with Jada Edwards (35:41)-In this teaching session, Jada Edwards examines one of Paul’s many prayers as an example of intercession, or praying for the needs of others. Prayer is not only about praying on our behalf. When we pray for others, we partner with God to bring His plans to pass in the lives of others. Session Seven: “May They Be One” with Kristi McLelland (35:35)-The final example of prayer in this study is Jesus’s prayer for oneness, or unity, among His disciples, from the Gospel of John. Kristi McLelland examines the historical and cultural context of this time in Jesus’s ministry to help us understand the ...

-Titulo Original : Trustworthy - Bible Study Book With Video Access-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try. In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, you can join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God. Features: Personal study to be completed between the 6 group sessions Teaching videos, approximately 15-20 minutes each, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book Leader helps for group discussion Benefits: Identify and challenge doubts in the one true God. Explore how the Old Testament applies to our lives today. Learn to trust in the goodness and faithfulness of God. Video Sessions: Session 1: Introduction (25:41)-We can so easily begin to trust in things and people other than God. The people of Israel experienced this time and again. Lysa walks us through the history of Gods people leading up to the moment they asked to be like everyone else and have a king. As we’ll see in this study of the ancient kings of the Bible, earthly kings pale in comparison to the King of kings, the only One worthy of our trust. Session 2: Solomon (23:23)-Lysa tells the story of Solomon, who started out his reign in his father, Davids, footsteps, but very quickly fell out of faithfulness to the one true God. Through relationships with many foreign women, Solomons affections became misplaced and he built altars to foreign gods and placed his trust in what he could control. Misplaced affections got between Solomon and God and continue to be a temptation for us today. Session 3: Jeroboam (19:21)-King Jeroboam misaligned his priorities, idolizing a golden calf rather than completely trusting in God and waiting on Him. In this week’s discussion, Lysa teaches us that a departure happens when we think too lowly of God and too highly of ourselves. But when we think highly of God, we think rightly of ourselves. Session 4: Ahab (18:56)-Lysa talks about the consequences of sin this session as we dive in to the story of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Just as Ahab’s blood spilled as a consequence of sin, Jesus also had to bleed in consequence of our sin. But unlike the end of Ahab’s story, our story is victorious through Christ. Session 5: Hezekiah (16:26)-Lysa discusses one of Hezekiah’s biggest accomplishments. Did he understand his accomplishment as evidence of God’s faithfulness, or did he just accept it as evidence of his own brilliance? Hezekiah failed to check his heart and accepted all the praise for himself, rather than giving the glory to God and His trustworthiness. See how his story can help us reevaluate things in our own lives, so we can kneel in greater submission to the King of kings. Session 6: Josiah (14:58)-Lysa looks at the tumultuous history of the temple in Jerusalem. The temple has been built and destroyed, rebuilt and renewed only to be destroyed again. While earthly kings and kingdoms and temples all pass away, we serve the trustworthy God who is making all things new...

-Titulo Original : Breathe - Study Journal Making Room For Sabbath-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: One of the greatest challenges among women in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe.

-Titulo Original : From Beginning To Forever - Bible Study Book With Video Access A Study Of The Grand Narrative Of Scripture-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: Many Christians today are daunted by the Bible, seeing the size and scope of Scripture as intimidating and overwhelming. The result is often a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible, which leads us to view it through the lens of our individual stories, primarily looking for different verses or passages to help us live our everyday lives. But, in our search for personal truth, we fail to see how the entirety of Scripture works together to show a bigger story-Gods work to redeem and restore the entire world. In From Beginning to Forever, Elizabeth Woodson guides you through the story of the Bible, showing how all 66 books combine to form one unified narrative. Weaving together the rich theological truths found in Genesis through Revelation, this 8-session study shows the eternal significance of what God is doing in the world and how he invites us to be a part of it. Features: Leader helps for group discussion 7 weeks of personal study to be completed between the 8 group sessions 8 teaching videos, approximately 30-35 minutes per session, available via redemption code for individual video-streaming access, printed in Bible study book Benefits: Discover the deeper meaning and themes that run through Scripture. Recognize that you are being formed by the stories you believe and shaped by God’s story. Come away with a greater understanding of who God is in every part of the Bible. Cultivate a new framework/lens/perspective for future Bible study. Video Sessions: Session 1: Introduction (14:46)-Elizabeth sets the stage for the study in Session 1 by discussing the importance of story. She will discuss some of the false stories people live their lives by, and challenge us to live our lives according to Scripture, the only story that goes from beginning to forever. Session 2: The Creation & Corruption of the Kingdom (31:50)-The beginning of a story matters. That’s what Session 2 video teaching emphasizes. Elizabeth will share what we learn about God and humanity in the beautiful story of creation. Then we’ll see how sin tears at the fabric of creation and corrupts God’s kingdom. But there’s hope of restoration even in the tragedy. Personal Story: Live for God’s Glory (1:48)-Elizabeth reminds us that we are created not for ourselves, but for God’s glory. Session 3: A Promise to Restore the Kingdom (31:26)-Session 3 teaching focuses on God establishing for Himself a people who would proclaim His name among all nations. He chooses to do this through a man named Abraham. We’ll follow the story of Abraham and his descendants as they find themselves enslaved in Egypt, are delivered, and then stand on the brink of the promised land. Personal Story: Steps of Faith (2:19)-Elizabeth shares how her journey to Dallas required her to trust in the faithfulness of God. Session 4: A Divided Kingdom (36:15)-The teaching in Session 4 begins with God’s people moving into the promised land. Elizabeth will show how they experienced the triumph of conquest and the tragedy of compromise. Leadership is the name of the game in this section of study as Joshua, judges, then kings, lead God’s people. Their flawed leadership, even in the best of times, will show us the need for the true King to come. Personal Story: Live Prepared (1:59)-Elizabeth uses the story of a strange Christmas gift to remind us that our best way to deal with sin is to be alert and prepared for it. Session 5: Life in the Kingdom (29:23)-Elizabeth pauses the timeline in the Session 5 teaching as she takes us through the wisdom literature of the Bible to illustrate life in the kingdom of God. She’ll also give us an overview of the prophets-those God used as His mouthpiece to call His people back to Himself and point them toward the coming King. Personal Story: Keep Showing Up (2:04)-Elizabeth explains that who God calls us to be and what God calls us to do does not change with our circumstance. Regardless of what we face, we have to keep showing up. Session 6: The Arrival of the King (...

-Titulo Original : Gideon Your Weakness Gods Strength - Bible Study Book With Video Access-Fabricante : Lifeway Press-Descripcion Original: When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about his 300 soldiers or the fleece he laid out under the evening sky. But Gideon’s story is so much bigger than that-bigger than any one man and his mark on Israel’s history. Like everything else in the Bible, this is a story about God and His people. His love for them, as well as His strength operating in spite of their weakness-even through their weakness. And because God’s people includes you and me, Gideon’s story is also about us-our lives, our doubts, our struggles, and our possibilities as believers. From a state of fear, weakness, and insecurity, Gideon emerged as Israels hero, filled with Gods presence and His passion for deliverance. This 7-session study by Priscilla Shirer will encourage you to recognize your weakness as the key that the Lord gives you to unlock the full experience of His strength in your life. In what ways do you feel insufficient? Those places create the greatest opportunity to experience the sufficiency of God. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape your weaknesses, see them as the gifts that they are, given specifically and strategically by God to unlock the door of God’s strength. Features: Leader helps to guide discussion within small groups Personal study segments to complete between 7 weeks of group sessions 7 teaching videos, approximately 30-60 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in Bible study book for individual streaming access Benefits: Look at the big picture, how God sovereignly positioned Gideon into it, and what it all means for us today as He unfolds our part in His plans Designed for anyone who has ever felt insufficient, ill-equipped, incompetent, or outnumbered. In other words, anyone and everyone See your weaknesses as God’s greatest strengths Instead of hiding from your weaknesses, find the God-given strength to face your fears and do what God is calling you to do Challenges participants to see God in a much bigger way, experience Him more fully, and tap into His power and presence in a fresh way Video Sessions: Session 1: Heads, Hearts, and Hands (56:37)-Priscilla introduces the Gideon story by examining the context. She explores how and why Gods people, in a covenant relationship with God, get to a position of such devastation and oppression. Session 2: What to Expect When Youre Expecting (40:38)-Priscilla explains why God is more interested in changing your heart than He is in changing your circumstances. She explores how God positions His people for His purposes. Session 3: A Brand-New Identity (39:37)-Priscilla shows how our weakness is the key God uses to unlock His power in our lives. We can embrace our weaknesses as Gods 300 in our lives. Session 4: The Flip Side of Gods Power (40:57)-Priscilla explores the attributes of Gods nature and patience that makes possible every other element of our relationship with Him. Session 5: How to Win a Battle (44:46)-Gideons story shows us how we can be victorious in the battles we each must face every day. Session 6: Who Is Your King? (45:01)-Gideons negative example demonstrates the importance and nature of lifes critical issue. Four questions will determine who really occupies the throne of your life. Session 7: Just You and Me (27:28)-In this final session, Priscilla Shirer reminds us that although Gideon started strong, he did not finish as well as we would hope. All of us need to remain alert to anything that takes our focus and admiration away from God...

(17:27)-In the opening teaching session, Rebecca provides a foundation for the study by giving us five reasons why we can trust that Gospels are historically reliable accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus. Session 2: Narrative (20:23)-In Session 2, Rebecca affirms that all the stories about Jesus found in the Gospels were recorded so that we may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God. However, she challenges us to discover why these particular stories were used out of hundreds that could have been told.

Session 6: Dialogue (21:59)-The Gospels include significant encounters Jesus had with individuals. In this video session, Rebecca will walk us through three conversations Jesus had with different people to show us how these dialogues weren’t just idle chatter, but meaningful moments that caused people to confront the truth. Session 7: Prophecy (20:45)-When we think about prophecy, we can easily get focused just on specific predictions being fulfilled. But Rebecca will point out four different categories of prophecy found in the Gospels, and why each is significant, and how we best need to read them. Session 8: Wrap Up (6:00)-Rebecca closes the study by challenging us to not just pick out little pieces of the Gospels, but to sit down and read them through-to have a fresh, life-changing encounter with Jesus through these four accounts of His life, ministry, and teaching...
