Serve Your City
$17.99An ARC Resources Title
Through the pages of the Gospels, we see Jesus model a “show and tell” life and ministry to His followers- He “showed” them how to serve by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and caring for the poor-and while He was demonstrating compassion, He taught them, “telling” them of God’s immense love. This is the way to show God’s heart of compassion for the people in our cities and towns, and this is the way to break down barriers so people will listen to the life-changing message of the gospel of grace. In this book, you’ll sense Dino’s heart, be inspired by his stories and learn from his experiences, as well as many ARC churches that are serving their cities with a Jesus-style no-strings-attached kind of love. This is at the core of who ARC is – a deep passion to see churches thrive as part of the cities they serve.

My New Life Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$6.99All new Christians are excited to start their journey of faith. Unfortunately for many, there is little foundation from which to build. Many new believers have no experience in reading the Bible or even knowing what it’s about. Countless others have no experience in the church or even an understanding of why the church is important. With so many unknowns, the new Christian can become easily overwhelmed by a lack of understanding of who a Christ-follower is.
For the believer to grow, it’s necessary to have an understanding of the Bible, God’s character, prayer, the gospel, and so much more. Many resources for new Christians exist, but they can be overwhelming. They attempt to cover too much information and they use words that people new to the faith have most likely never even heard. So what’s a better way to support, encourage, and teach the new Christian what this new life in Christ looks like?
In My New Life, the new Christian will be given deep biblical truths in short and simple to understand chapters that will grow their knowledge of God’s Word and build foundations on which their daily trust in Jesus can grow for the rest of their lives.

Get Out Of Your Head Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Have you ever wanted to be an entirely new version of you? Like a character re-do or makeover?
Have you ever felt like who you are now isn’t all that you were meant to be?
You’re on to something if you answered yes, and you’re going to be surprised if you aren’t so sure!
Sometimes we are content being good, and yet our insides are in complete disarray-but because no one knows it, we assume we are okay. This work we are going to do through our study of the book of Philippians might be the most important thing we’ve ever done. But we don’t do it merely as another self-improvement project.
The Bible knows nothing of a connected regenerate person, filled with the Spirit, whose goal is to just survive.
Our faith journey here on Earth is not meant to be summed up to a behavior modification. Our journey should be a radical departure from the world and how it thinks. Our journey should represent a supernatural intervention remaking us into whom God built us to be.
We want to be women who set our minds on Christ, better yet realizing we have already been given the mind of Christ and therefore, we are deeply and intrinsically motivated and moved by an entirely different source. Not only do we make Jesus happy, but we find our complete happiness in Him. These are truths that if we could only believe, would change everything. It is possible to waste our lives because we never learn to take our thoughts captive.
This six-session Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately) dives head first into Paul’s letter to the Philippians, imploring and encouraging them to become entirely new kinds of humans whose minds are set solely on Christ. Bestselling author and Bible teacher, Jennie Allen steps through the book of Philippians with purpose and intention, unpacking the simple, but difficult truth of allowing ourselves and our minds to be transformed in the name of Christ. Jennie confronts our current cultural struggles while relating valid and trusted answers in Scripture that inspire real change from the inside out.
Each session will include video teaching, group discussion, and personal study time of digging deeper, reflection, consideration, response, imagination, and Scripture memory.

How To Lead In A World Of Distraction Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99In this six-session video study, pastor Clay Scroggins builds on the principles he established in his bestselling How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge and shows participants how to take the next step in their leadership growth by developing emotional awareness. As Clay notes, we are all surrounded by “white noise”–a soul-masking tool that keeps us from hearing the voices in our lives that we really need to hear. Our busy lives, the numbing nature of entertainment, and the urgency of ministry all work together to create a toxic cocktail of emotional distraction. And while many leaders have learned to tune out this “white noise,” in the process they have become “deaf” to the inner issues to which they need to attend.
Emotional healing begins with emotional awareness–our ability to identify and understand our feelings. Developing such emotional awareness comes from engaging in spiritual practices such as fasting, meditation, Sabbath keeping, prayer, and hospitality. As Clay states, such practices today are often viewed as “countercultural,” but they are solidly biblical and instrumental for helping us identify our emotions.
Through the practices described in this guide, leaders will unmask unpleasant emotions–robbing them of their stronghold–and learn how to pay close attention to the desires within. The result is that business, church, and ministry leaders will be empowered to replace the chaos in their increasingly busy lives with an emotional competence that leads to a calmer, less stressed, and more fulfilling life than ever before.

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores the life and character of Jesus, helping participants become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told. As Max explains in this study, for thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached.
To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.
But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.
Jesus will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.

Prodigal Son Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99The Prodigal Son Bible Study Book includes printed content for eight small group sessions, personal study between meetings, applicable Scripture, “How to Use This Study,” tips for leading a group, and other features.
At some point we have all asked Is Christianity really working for me? or Is following Jesus really worth it? But what makes us ask these questions in the first place? Why are we so tempted by the allure of a life outside God’s design?
Thankfully, Jesus addressed this question through the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son from the gospel of Luke. In this story, we meet a young man who demands his inheritance, then goes and squanders it in a far-off country away from the watchful eye of his father. When he finds that the world and its pleasures do not deliver on their promises, he arises and returns home.
This Bible study walks through the parable verse by verse, showing us what it means to follow God and walk with Him in a relationship of love and commitment, and ultimately illustrating that the best life is found in the love or our Father.

Something Needs To Change Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Something Needs to Change Bible Study Book by David Platt includes printed content for eight small group sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, “How to Use This Study,” and tips for leading a group.
David Platt took a trip to the Himalayan mountains that transformed the trajectory of his life. There he was confronted with staggering physical and spiritual needs unlike any he had seen before. On leaving, Platt found himself asking fundamental questions about his life and ministry. He realized that something needed to change.
Being confronted with suffering causes us to ask questions that, if we are honest, we would rather ignore. However, if we believe the Bible, ignorance of profound human need is not an option for us. Neither is indifference. We cannot be Christians and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the world in need around us. If those responses become the commentary of our lives and our churches, then one fact will be abundantly clear: we were not following Jesus on our journey through this life.
What does it mean to follow Jesus in a world filled with urgent physical and spiritual need? In Something Needs to Change, David Platt explores that question as he takes you on a mind-wrestling, heart-wrenching trek through the Himalayas–a life-altering journey of obedience to Christ.

Who Needs Christmas Why Easter Matters Study Guides With DVD
$49.99Who Needs Christmas:
The details of the Christmas story are amazing . . . and can seem a bit unbelievable. There is the angelic announcement to Mary that she will give birth to the Messiah. The dream from God that convinces Joseph to take Jesus as his own son. The angelic host who announces Jesus’ birth to the shepherds. The madness of a king who tried to put an end to Jesus’ life.
The narrative of Jesus’ birth is miraculous. But as pastor Andy Stanley explores in this four-session video study (study guide sold separately), when you look at all the events in the Old Testament leading up to this point in time, the unbelievable story of Christmas becomes quite remarkable.
It was only “when the set time had fully come” that God sent Jesus into the world “that we might receive adoption to sonship” (Galatians 4:4-5). God sent Jesus to do what laws and regulations, judges and prophets, and exile and punishment could not accomplish. He sent Jesus not merely to deliver us from the penalty and consequences of our sin, but to actually break the power of the enemy and free us from our slavery to sin.
Through Christmas, we are reminded that even when it seems God is silent, he is always working. God sent Jesus not simply to be the Savior of the world but to be the Savior in our world. Through Christmas, we are reminded that God always keeps his promises to us.
Sessions include:
1. The Story Behind the Story (Genesis 12:3)
2. The Author of Life (Acts 3:15)
3. The Message of Christmas (Matthew 1:21)
4. Ready or Not . . . He Is Coming (Luke 1:37)Why Easter Matters:
As believers in Christ, we all would like to say that we trust in God. We would all like to claim that we believe God has our best interests in mind and that obedience to him is the best pathway to finding joy, peace, and fulfillment in life. But the truth is that we often find ourselves actively resisting the very God in whom we say we trust.
This was true of people even back in the days of first-century Israel when Jesus walked the earth. In this four-session study (study guide sold separately), pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as: Joseph Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, the two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, and the disciples and other follower

Why Easter Matters Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99As believers in Christ, we all would like to say that we trust in God. We would all like to claim that we believe God has our best interests in mind and that obedience to him is the best pathway to finding joy, peace, contentment, and fulfillment in life. But the truth is that we often find ourselves actively resisting the very God in whom we say we trust. Our hearts and our consciences tell us what is right–and what we need to be doing–but for some reason we tend to find ourselves going the other way.
This was true of people even back in the days of first-century Israel when Jesus walked the earth. In this four-session study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as:
*Joseph Caiaphas, the powerful Jewish religious leader, who refused to embrace Jesus as the Messiah because it would have put an end to his influence and control.
*Judas Iscariot, who was more interested in his own personal gain than in truly following after God–and betrayed Jesus to the Jewish authorities as a result of his greed.
*The two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, who found themselves in their last hours of life just twelve feet away from God-in-the-flesh.
*The disciples and other followers of Jesus, who found their world turned upside down when the one they believed to be the Messiah was first put to death . . . and then rose again.The stories of these men and women who were present in the greatest story ever known–the story of Easter–give us great insights into our own relationship toward God. They reveal the attitudes of our hearts and compel us to truly consider why Easter matters and the effect it has on our lives.
Sessions include:
1. The High Cost of Following Christ (John 12:25)
2. The Risk of Surrendering to God (Matthew 19:27)
3. The God Who Can Be Trusted (Luke 23:39-41)
4. The Foundation of Our Faith (Acts 1:8)Designed for use with the double disc Who Needs Christmas/Why Easter Matters Video Study (sold separately).

Who Needs Christmas Study Guide
$10.99The details of the Christmas story are amazing . . . and can seem a bit unbelievable. There is the angelic announcement to Mary that she will give birth to the Messiah. The dream from God that convinces Joseph to take Jesus as his own son. The story of Zechariah, who lost his ability to speak for many months for doubting God’s word. The angelic host who announces Jesus’ birth to the shepherds. The wise men who visit Jesus and bring gifts. The madness of a king who tried to put an end to Jesus’ life.
The narrative of Jesus’ birth is both miraculous and incredible. But as pastor Andy Stanley explores in this four-session video study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), when you look at all the events in the Old Testament leading up to this point in time, the unbelievable story of Christmas becomes quite remarkable. For the story does not begin with angels announcing Jesus’ birth in the Gospels but with God making a promise to a man named Abraham in the book of Genesis–a promise that all peoples in the world would be blessed through him.
It was only “when the set time had fully come” that God sent Jesus into the world “that we might receive adoption to sonship” (Galatians 4:4-5). God sent Jesus to do what laws and regulations, judges and prophets, and exile and punishment could not accomplish. He sent Jesus so that individual people could have a relationship with him. He sent Jesus, the author of life, to document his great love for his rebel race. He sent Jesus not merely to deliver us from the penalty and consequences of our sin, but to actually break the power of the enemy and free us from our slavery to sin.
Through Christmas, we are reminded God is active even when it seems like he is not. We are reminded that even when it seems God is silent, he is always working. And we are reminded that God sent Jesus not simply to be the Savior of the world but to be the Savior in our world. Through Christmas, we are reminded that God always keeps his promises to us.

When To Walk Away Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99In the Gospel of John, we read that Jesus “became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (1:14 NIV). Jesus literally came down from heaven to walk among us. But what we often overlook in the Gospels is that Jesus often walked away from certain people . . . or let them walk away from him.
In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author Gary Thomas draws on Jesus’ example to show how the best course of action for us to take with some relationships is to walk away . . . or let the other person walk away. In the Gospels, we read that when Jesus spoke a hard truth, sometimes the other person chose to walk away (see Matthew 19:16-30). Other times, the person asked Jesus to leave–and he complied (see Luke 8:26-37). There were also times when people begged Jesus to stay, but he walked away so he could remain completely focused on the mission God had for him (see Luke 4:42-44).
Jesus never gave chase to those who left. He didn’t run after people who rejected him and try to change their minds or bargain with them so they would again follow him. He did not feel obligated to try to convince unreasonable people to see the truth that he was provided. And, perhaps most important, he didn’t allow anyone to distract him or interfere with the mission that God had given to him.
Most of us have run across toxic individuals who drain us of our joy and peace–people who resent the grace we share and will never change. However, as Gary will show in this study, we don’t have to pour our time and energy into these people. Instead, we can follow Jesus’ example to walk away from toxic people and walk toward healthy relationships that will encourage us, strengthen us, and build us up. And as we do, it frees us to focus completely on the purpose that God has established for our lives.

Rhythms Of Renewal Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Have you ever woken up and just not felt right? Not ill, just off? As if you’ve lost something, some sparkle, or something tangible you simply can’t find?
We all have. No one is immune from the hardline impacts of stress, fear, anxiety, and depression. Each of us just experiences them at different depths and handles them in different ways.
But we are not powerless.
Scripture did not ignore the mental consequences of sin. Jesus did not ignore the traps and obstacles our minds encounter as we battle in a fallen world. Scripture also never leaves us longing, it inspires, encourages, and draws out of us what we sometimes overlook. Why then, don’t we ask Scripture what we can do to help us in our struggles? While not a replacement for therapy in any way, this study provides realistic habits and behaviors based on Scripture and biblical principles to sustain mental peace.
Rebekah Lyons took years to discover a set of realistic, daily soul-practices that aided her ongoing struggle with anxiety and panic and fear but also moved her past the struggle and into deeper relationships, opening herself to others, and embracing what it is to create from her soul. These practices have brought her freedom and helped her sustain that freedom while working through harder things with help.
Sharing these rhythms, Rebekah gives the women practical tools to contend for their own healing and sustained health and to forge a new road of wholehearted living. Rhythms of Renewal provides an approachable, household way of talking about sustained mental health found only in the peace given by Jesus Christ himself.
Rhythms of Renewal is a five-week video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately) for those struggling with anxiety, fear, stress, depression, or other mental health issues. Participants will be equipped through a common experience with simple daily practices and tips that help them own a new sense of peace, strength, and purpose. The result of Rhythms of Renewal is being filled with a Christ-like peace while becoming a blessing to others.
Sessions Include:
*Introduction to biblical rhythms of renewal

How Happiness Happens Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author Max Lucado looks at several “one another” statements in the Bible that reveal how the happiest people on earth aren’t those who have the most but those who are willing to give the most away. While everyone craves happiness, and everyone benefits from it, the sad reality is that fewer people today are finding it. We have more possessions than ever before, better access to education, and greater advancements in technology and medicine. Yet the majority of us can’t find an adequate reason to check the “yes” box on a happiness questionnaire.
Our culture tries to convince us there is one way to happiness: aspire, acquire, desire, retire. Happiness depends on what we hang in our closet, park in our garage, and deposit in our bank account. It’s a path that always fails to deliver. Instead, Jesus provides a better way: “It is better to give than receive” (Acts 22:35 nkjv). Intentional, altruistic acts of service are the most reliable sources of well-being. It is a principle Jesus lived out in his own life. While he was accused of much, he was never described as being grumpy or perpetually somber. Rather, he said, “I came to give life with joy and abundance” (John 10:10 vce).
God wants to bring joy to the people of this generation, and in his Word, he has given us practical and applicable ways to quarry that joy by giving it away. In this study, group members will look at several key “one another” statements given in the New Testament and discover how to make happiness happen in their lives. They will discover that while the world can be a lonely and disappointing place, they can be God’s representatives to bring about a cascade of kindness. While we cannot solve every problem, we can bring a few smiles to a few faces. In this way, we might even initiate a quiet revolution of joy.

Defined Bible Study Book
$14.99Defined Bible Study Book includes content for eight sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, “How to Use This Study,” tips for leading a group, a leader guide, and a family-discipleship page.
When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you have an opportunity to define yourself. You disclose your name, profession, and interests. These factors help our culture define us, but are those answers enough? People are struggling in ten thousand ways because of identity issues. They can’t help but ask, who am I? and why do I matter? Can our culture really provide meaningful answers to those questions, or do we need something deeper and more significant?
Before asking, who am I? we need to be able to answer, who is God? If we can’t answer the first question, we will never answer the second. The problem with our search for identity is that we are looking in all the wrong places. Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We do not define ourselves-the Creator does. We were all created to be known and loved by God. Once those answers are clear, we can move forward and discover all God has called us to be.
Session topics:
1. Uniquely Created by God
2. Uniquely Broken by Sin

I Give Up Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$43.99Laura Story’s husband, Martin, was diagnosed with a brain tumor early in their marriage. In a moment their life plans changed drastically. After wondering about their ability to be parents and a struggle with infertility, Laura gave birth to three children, including twin boys, in three years’ time. Then a sonogram at thirty-seven weeks revealed an unexpected issue with their fourth child.
No life is without trouble, but when you face one challenging situation after another, your days can begin to feel desperately hopeless. But for God . . . who truly uses all things for our good, every circumstance can become a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how much we can trust him. The very act of completely surrendering our will to His can become the one act that will change your life forever.
In I Give Up, Laura uses her story to show why surrender to God is important and how we can go about doing it. She shares how surrendering expectations is not a step-by-step process but a willful decision to wait on God, trusting that He and His word are true.
In this six-session study she explains:
*why surrender is a good thing
*what we surrender exactly
*whom we surrender to
*how we surrender
*how our surrender affects the lives of others
*what we gain when we let goThough surrender sometimes flies in the face of our instincts, hopes, and dreams, it’s never without benefit. A surrendered life includes the surprise of a truly full and satisfying existence where trust is reasonable, reconciliation is possible, and relationships can heal.

No More Holding Back Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$43.99In a world where boundaries and guardrails are encouraged, our focus can become narrow and near-sighted. The Christian faith is replete with self-control and guided resistance of all the matters of life that can trip us up. But are boundaries and guardrails, self-control and resistance meant for the spirit chasing after the heart of God?
Bible teacher and author, Kat Armstrong dares to ask and explore what faith and life in general would look like if we broke through all the barriers holding us back and we actually practiced loving the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. What if we lived giving Jesus our ALL?
Born out of a real-life confrontation with a fellow student at seminary who challenged Kat’s reasoning, purpose, and goal for pursing a deeper knowledge of God’s Word, this study delves into the deep of our person and dares us to answer, What Am I Even Here For? Who am I to chase after God? How do I actually follow Jesus’ command?
Through engaging and heartfelt Biblical teaching, Kat guides us on a journey down the narrow path, the one less traveled, because it is hard and it is difficult-but it is worth every step. Following after Jesus takes effort, perseverance, trust, focus, and energy. It takes our ALL. In a world that emphasized qualifications, Kat offers a fresh perspective of encouragement that aligns with Scripture from beginning to end: “Don’t be afraid. Give me your everything.
“If you have ever felt challenged or insecure in your personal pursuit of God, this is your study. This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

Whats Next Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99In this six-week video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges reveals the critical steps that every Christian needs to take to deepen his or her walk with God.
As Chris explains, the journey toward deeper faith and spiritual maturity is a lifelong pursuit, with plenty of stops, obstacles, and bumps along the way. Inevitably, there comes a point when we find ourselves asking, “What do I do next? How do I stay motivated to grow deeper in my relationship with God when I feel complacent, intimidated, or confused? What can I do to get back on track when I hit a spiritual rut?”
In What’s Next?, Chris encourages believers to take the next step in their spiritual maturity to know God, find freedom, discover their purpose, and make a difference in the world. This begins by recognizing where we are in our spiritual journey so we can heed God’s instruction, listen to his voice, and follow his guidance. As we identify our present spiritual state–no matter where we may be on the spectrum–it enables us to hear from God and understand the next steps he wants us to take toward growth, health, and maturity.
What’s Next? is a field guide for both new believers and veterans in the faith on how to have a deeper and more intimate relationship with God and find the joy that comes from the journey.

Redeemed Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99In this five-session video Bible study, Will Graham, the grandson of renowned preacher Billy Graham, shares stories and teachings from his life about what it means to be redeemed in Christ–to experience God’s love and have a hope that transcends the daily struggles of this world. As Will has traveled the globe to share the good news of Christ, he has seen many “longing souls” from every background and walk of life. Yet regardless of whether he has spoken to people in the affluent cities or in the back alleys of third-world nations, a common trait has stood out: people are desperate for hope and goodness.
Deep inside our souls, we are all hungering for something, though we may not know what it is. Some of us try to satisfy that hunger by throwing ourselves into relationships, jobs, or hobbies. Some try to fill the hunger by engaging in destructive vices. Others try to fill the hunger by pursuing good deeds, positive social work, mentoring, or donating money to worthy causes. But as the psalmist writes, only God “satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9 nkjv).
The apostle Paul wrote, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” but because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we have “been justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ” (Romans 3:23-24 nkjv). When we accept God’s salvation, he sends the Holy Spirit to reside in our hearts and satisfies the longing we have in our souls. As we experience this redemption and begin to walk in God’s ways, we find that he leads us to new places in our lives:
*A New Understanding of God’s Love
*A New Sense of Freedom from the Past
*A New Heart and Character
*A New Outlook on Difficulties
*A New Longing to Share Christ with OthersRedeemed will inspire and challenge group members to let go of their past, embrace the new future God has for them, surrender to the work he wants to do in their lives, confront their trials with prayer, and open their eyes to see the eternal needs of those around them in their world.

Irresistible Curriculum Campaign Kit
$66.99Once upon a time there existed a version of our faith worth living and dying for, something the world found irresistible. Men and women pursued it at the risk of persecution, job loss, and eviction from their homes, temples, and society.
What if we actually followed their lead? Perhaps it would change how we read the Bible? Perhaps it would help us understand our own faith and what we believe? Perhaps we would change the world again?
In this six-session video study, pastor and author Andy Stanley shows how Jesus’ arrival signaled that the Old Testament was fulfilled and its laws reduced to a single verb–love–to be applied to God, neighbor, and enemy. So, what is required if we want to follow Jesus’s example and radically love the people around us? We almost always know the answer. The hard part is actually doing what love requires.
Rather than working harder to make Christianity more interesting, we need to recover what once made faith in Jesus irresistible to the world.
Sessions include:
*Simply Resistible
*Brand New Agreement
*The Bible According to Jesus
*The Irresistible Ethic

Hagar Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$41.99Unresolved, but not Unseen.
Women’s hearts are exposed and the truth of our nature is revealed as we explore the lives of women in the Bible who asked the same three questions every woman still asks today: How does everyone see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?
There are many situations of cultural victimization today. Hagar’s situation was perhaps the first. From the pages of the first book of the Bible we see God working in a woman who responds to betrayal, abandonment, selfishness, and scorn exactly as we all have at one time or another-she flees. Her response was wholly human and feminine, both haughty and defensive. However, deep in Hagar’s core, as in each of ours, is a woman who longs to be seen and hopes for redemption.
Learn from Hagar in this four-session video Bible study just what matters and how to dismiss the rest. Hagar is our sister in Scripture who demonstrates how to respond when we may not get the answer we seek, but get the answer we truly needed! This study will take you through the heartache and hurt of a woman scorned but it doesn’t stop there as Hagar learns that what is unresolved does not mean it is unseen.

Rahab was not the typical woman, but she displayed very typical female characteristics. She was nurturing and protective, vulnerable, and hopeful. Where we learn the most from Rahab is the one character trait she lacked: self-doubt. Rahab is our sister in Scripture who considered her worthiness in God against the cultural odds and standards then, and still today. Regardless of your personality, past, present, or position, there is a place in God’s plan for you. He doesn’t want your personality-He wants to redeem and use for His plan, just as you are.
Learn from Rahab in this four-session video Bible study, the subtle and apparent differences between what we think of ourselves, what society projects on us, and what God’s final word about us says! This study will take you into the heart of Rahab as the everyday woman in modern culture through drama, expose the truth of our behaviors through strong Biblical psychoanalysis, and reveal the solid truth each of us longs for, to know that we are known by a God who considers us good enough, as is, and wants to redeem us!
This pack contains one book and one DVD.

Case For Christmas The Case For Easter Study Guides With DVD (Student/Study Guid
$49.99Two studies in one!
In The Case for Christmas, Lee Strobel investigates the story of Jesus’ birth and reveals how we can know it is true. He examines the Bible’s claim that Jesus was born of a virgin, some of the “puzzles” we find in the Gospel that don’t seem to match up with the historical record, and the great mystery of the incarnation-how Jesus could be both fully God and fully human. Lee shows how the evidence points to the inescapable conclusion that Jesus was who he said he was: the divine Son of God. Four sessions.
In The Case for Easter, Lee Strobel looks at the story of Jesus’ resurrection and reveals how we can know that it actually took place. He explores the “discrepancies” critics have pointed to in the Gospel accounts, looks at the evidence that Jesus’ tomb was truly empty, and shows how the eyewitness accounts of those who saw Jesus alive after the crucifixion are credible. Lee reveals how all the facts point to the conclusion that led him from atheism to Christianity: Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave. Four sessions.
This pack contains one The Case for Christmas Study Guide, one The Case for Easter Study Guide, and one DVD case containing both The Case for Christmas and The Case for Easter Video Study.

Case For Christmas Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)

In each session, he will explore the following aspects of the Christmas story:
*What the Gospel accounts actually say, what other stories about Jesus’ birth emerged in the first through third centuries, and how we can know the biblical accounts are accurate
*The Bible’s claim that Jesus was born of a virgin and whether that idea-and other aspects of the Christmas story-developed from the pagan religions of the day
*Some aspects of the Christmas story that don’t seem to match with the historical or archaeological record, such as the census, the existence of Nazareth, and the slaughter of the innocents
*The great mystery of the incarnation-how Jesus could be both fully God and fully human at the same time-and how we can know he is truly the promised MessiahThe Case for Christmas invites participants to examine the evidence for themselves and consider why Christmas matters in the first place. It will point them to the inescapable conclusion that Jesus truly was who he said he was: the divine Son of God.
