Act Like Jesus Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this eight-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains there is a difference between simply believing something in our heads and allowing those beliefs to shape our actions and behaviors. It is not enough to think like Jesus . . . we must also act like Jesus. For this reason, once we understand what we believe, we need to yield to the direction of the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead us to those biblical practices that will bring about spiritual transformation in our lives. As we do this, the Holy Spirit will lead us to make these resolutions:
*I will worship God for who he is and for what he has done for me.
*I will pray to God to know him, find direction for my life, and to lay my requests before him.
*I will study the Bible to know God and his truth and find direction for my daily life.
*I will dedicate my life to God’s purposes.
*I will fellowship with Christians to accomplish God’s purposes in my life and in the world.
*I will seek to understand my spiritual gifts so I can use them to fulfill God’s purposes.
*I will give my resources to fulfill God’s purposes.
*I will share my faith with others to fulfill God’s purposes.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Act Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 2 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

Think Like Jesus Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this eight-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that when Jesus saves us and ushers us into his kingdom, he begins a process of transformation within us that starts with our thoughts. As God begins to transform our minds, we begin to think like Jesus and believe like Jesus. For this reason, it is important for us to understand the eight key beliefs of the Christian faith that-when embraced in our hearts and minds-create true change in our lives, in the church, and in the world:
*I believe the God of the Bible is the one true God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
*I believe God is involved in and cares about my daily life.
*I believe we come into a right relationship with God, by his grace, through faith in Jesus.
*I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right to command my beliefs and actions.
*I believe I am significant because of my position as a child of God.
*I believe the church is God’s primary way to accomplish his purposes on earth today.
*I believe all people are loved by God and need Jesus Christ as their Savior.
*I believe that Jesus will return to judge all people and establish his eternal kingdom.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Think Like Jesus is a church-wide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your beliefs.

Be Like Jesus Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this eight-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance.

*I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
*I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
*I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.

Becoming A King Video Study (DVD)
$29.99God’s original intention for humankind was to empower and entrust them with ruling over his creation (see Genesis 2:19-20). However, the story of most men is that being entrusted with power has led to them bringing harm to themselves and those under their care. When we look at the source of the problem, we find the issue is within our souls-we are in need of excavation and reconstruction. Jesus offers to meet us in the heart of our need and promises a way forward into fullness of life. Yet so often we are unsure about the way in. We see the invitation but have lost the map.
In Becoming a King, Morgan Snyder describes how as a young man serving alongside John Eldredge, he relentlessly engaged these deep questions of how to use power and grow as a leader. Over the course of two years, he sought counsel from the most respected men that he could find in the organization’s growing network of influence. As he distilled these men’s counsel, the outline of the path he was seeking emerged . . . an ancient path that generations of saints throughout human history have traveled before.
As Morgan explains, this is a map for the journey of inner transformation. It is an invitation into a radical reconstruction of much of what we have come to believe about God, ourselves, and the meaning of life. Traveling the path isn’t cheap, easy, or quick. Few find it. Even fewer choose to stay the course, fight the good fight, win the race, and keep the faith. But it is this heroic journey that leads to life-real life.
Since the publishing of Wild at Heart nearly two decades ago, there has been a slow and steady groundswell of masculine restoration. This study represents both the fruit of that work and the next steps to take men deeper into the more that is being offered . . . walking them through what it is to live deeply rooted and to be powerful God’s way.

Fight To Flourish Video Study (DVD)
$29.99How do you live a full life? Perhaps the better question is, how do you really live when life throws you sucker punches, when you face obstacles that seem to snuff out your faith, when you lose something or someone precious to you? In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko encourages women to suit up and thrive not just in the dailies of monotony and routine, but even in the most desolate of places. Using the backdrop of her second-born daughter Lenya’s passing into heaven five days before Christmas in 2012, Jennie invites women to embrace whatever destination they’ve landed. She teaches how through the good and bad, they can learn to grow, be strong, draw near to God, and be a blessing to others. It is in this sacred space of pain and promise that women can begin to flourish.
While The Fight to Flourish is geared toward living fully in tough times, Jennie’s stories and insight also embrace the non-climactic events in life. Like when life feels, well, ordinary. Monotonous. Routine. How can we live fully when life is…boring?
The life-giving Scriptural truths Jennie offers will help women manage their disappointments and losses through the power of Jesus. They can be strong. They can have courage. They can grow in faith. They can make a difference. Jennie’s refreshing transparency, deep love for Jesus, and grit for thriving in life is sure to encourage women twenty through fifty years young, planted in different seasons of life.

Recovering From Biblical Manhood And Womanhood Video Study (DVD)
$59.99While evangelicalism dukes it out about who can be church leaders, the rest of the 98% of us need to be well-equipped to see where we fit in God’s household and why that matters. The Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood Video Study will help improve the culture of our churches and disciple men and women to read, understand, and apply Scripture together within them. Until both men and women grow in their understanding of their relationship to Scripture, there will continue to be tension between the sexes in the church.
These videos explore questions such as: Do men and women benefit equally from God’s Word? Are they equally responsible in sharpening one another in the faith and passing it down to the next generation? Do we need men’s Bibles and women’s Bibles, or can the one, holy Bible guide us all? Is the Bible, God’s Word, so male-centered and authored that women need to create their own resources to relate to it?
The Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood Video Study, featuring author and speaker Aimee Byrd, explore the feminine voice in Scripture as synergistic with the dominant male voice. Lessons fortify believers in a biblical understanding of brotherhood and sisterhood in God’s household and the necessity of learning from one another in studying God’s Word. This series helps to correct biblicist trends in the church today, affirming that we do not read God’s Word alone, but within our interpretive covenant communities–our churches. The responsibility of every believer, men and women together, is being active and equal participants in and witnesses to the faith.

Galatians Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Do you understand what people mean when they say you are Free in Christ? Are you living led by the Spirit or lost in the world? Is your life bearing good fruit? Most of us struggle to truly understand how it is we can know freedom without a set of rules to follow and even more so how to let go of the rules of this world and simply follow the Spirit into growth and blessing.
Bible teacher and author Jada Edwards digs into the book of Galatians where we learn what freedom in Christ really means, how saying yes to the conviction and guidance of the Holy Spirit establishes this freedom and how through the Spirit we affect our communities and those around us in his name.
The Holy Spirit tells us when to keep silent or speak up, to apologize, take risks, take rest, to say yes or no, and so much more. He gives us direction in the big dreams and in the daily steps. What fruit we yield is the final evidence of our freedom in Jesus Christ. Connecting these dots is paramount to our experience of true freedom and it takes a renewed understanding of what freedom Jesus really brings. We won’t see different behavior in ourselves nor a different response from the world until we stand on this freedom and say no to anything less than the Gospel.
The Book of Galatians teaches how yielding our desires to the work of the Holy Spirit within us encourages our faith, sets us free, and results in our lives being sources of change in the world around us.

You Belong Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Does life ever seem lacking connection or coming up short of satisfying? Have you questioned or thought about why you seek meaning in every experience? Or how much you really don’t like being left out?
The truth is that we are created to be a part of each other and the joy that comes from belonging is by design “… in your presence there is fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” Psalm 16:11.
How then does fullness of joy allude our culture?
Women so often push under the rug their spiritual insecurities and secret questions of being accepted and worthy. Here they are empowered to learn a daily experience of glory to glory in the simple and real practices of life with Christ. Moving past self-doubt, helplessness, and lack of clarity brings women into a deeper, more engaging, and victorious relationship with God–not alone, but together.
In this six-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), author and Bible teacher Candace Payne dives head first into the hope and fullness of joy found we get only from Christ. Candace walks women through how to identify and trace the patterns of joy found in the presence of God and answers perhaps the most common question among all people: Do I belong? Yes, you do. And your joy depends on it.

Better Together Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In a time when societal disruptions are rampant-have you wanted to cut and run?
Have you considered your own gender versus the opposite in a defensive way?
If we are honest, we all have. And that truth is where we begin to be set free. We are only as strong as our understanding of our differences-and they are many and varied and begin with each our fingerprint. But we were not created alone, or separately. We were in fact created of and from and in the image of the same God. Until God created man AND woman, he called everything he created ‘good.’ When he saw us together, he declared, “It is VERY good” Gen 1:1-31.
So how then, in a current state of division at every intersection of life, do we return to the flourishing of men and women together as originally intended?
In this six-session study (study guide sold separately), author, activist, and headlining international speaker Danielle Strickland will guide us through our differences and mutuality with a biblical lens and foundation. She will teach and inspire us to face the core challenge that drives all division-FEAR-and to change the story of our culture. We will transform and become examples of equality and equity as in the Garden of Eden where we were made better, together.

Basics Of Hebrew Discourse Video Lectures (DVD)
$179.99Basics of Hebrew Discourse Video Lectures, presented by Matthew H. Patton, Frederic Clarke Putnam, and Miles V. Van Pelt, is a syntax resource for intermediate Hebrew students. The lectures introduce students to the principles and exegetical benefits of discourse analysis (text linguistics) when applied to biblical Hebrew prose and poetry. Where standard Hebrew reference grammars have traditionally worked to describe the relationship between words and phrases within discrete clauses (micro-syntax), discourse analysis works to describe those relationships that exist between clauses and texts (macro-syntax).
These lectures fill a needed gap for intermediate Hebrew students and give them the tools to work with Hebrew syntax on the macro level. Professors and pastors working with Hebrew will also find this one-of-a-kind resource highly valuable.

Get Your Life Back Video Study (DVD)
$29.99We live in soul-scorching times. The 24-7 onslaught of contemporary life–with its never-ending feed of global tragedies, demands for our attention, and pressures of work, family, and friends–has left us feeling ragged, wrung-out, and emptied.

In this life-changing video Bible study (study guide sold separately), John Eldredge distills a lifetime of wisdom into five practical and ready-to-implement practices for putting your life back together.

These practices, ready for the taking, will enable you to begin recovery, focus on what matters most, disengage from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.
You don’t need to abandon your life to get it back. You can restore it here and now. And you will never be the same.

Get Out Of Your Head Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Have 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 (study guide 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 Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this six-session video study (study guide sold separately), 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.

Who Needs Christmas Why Easter Matters Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Who 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 followers

Rhythms Of Renewal Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Have 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 (study guide 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.

*Introduction to biblical rhythms of renewal

How Happiness Happens Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this six-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), 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.

I Give Up Video Study (DVD)
$29.99Laura 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 (study guide sold separately) she explains:
why surrender is a good thing
what we surrender exactly
who we surrender to
how we surrender
how our surrender affects the lives of others
what we gain when we let go
Though 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.Designed for use with the I Give Up Study Guide (sold separately).

No More Holding Back Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In 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.

Whats Next Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this six-week video Bible study (study guide sold separately), 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 Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this five-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately), 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.

GOD IS RICH IN MERCY!
Jesus wants us to live merciful lives even through seasons of conflict with others that can challenge us to not just know about mercy, but to practice it. As Christians, the greatest opportunity we have to prove our faith is when we are rejected or when we are hurting, whether emotionally or physically.
Mercy is more than feeling sympathy toward someone. Powered by love, mercy takes action in order to spare someone from harm, pain, and suffering.
As Christians, the greatest opportunity we have to prove our faith is when we are rejected or when we are hurting, whether emotionally or physically. This is why Jesus told the leaders of His day in Matthew 9 that He didn’t come to earth to witness their religious practices, but rather, He came to teach mercy and they should learn what it means.

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 (book sold separately) 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 (book sold separately), 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!

Case For Christmas The Case For Easter Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In 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.
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.

Overcomer Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this six-session Bible study, bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah turns his insights to one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul’s admonition in Ephesians 6:10-18 to take up the whole armor of God.

Unwavering Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In this uplifting six-session video-based study (guide sold separately), Stasi Eldredge shows how we can be content and at peace in spite of the circumstances in our lives–while at the same time not diminishing or dismissing the pain we are experiencing. Stasi reveals how we are each called to stand against the tide and go against the flow of this world, even when it is comprised of a strong current of despair and difficulty. Instead of denying there is pain or running from reality, we embrace the fact that God has broken into this world to cast aside the darkness. He is the God who laughs at the sneers of the enemy, stares suffering in the face, and proclaims that evil does not have the final word. As he does, he captures our hearts with a hope that defies death.
To have joy in the midst of sorrow–or the current news feed–can seem impossible. And on our own, it is impossible. But just as the angel Gabriel said to Mary after making his outlandish proclamation that she, a virgin, would give birth to the Savior of the world, “Nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37 esv). God means for us to have peace–a peace from him that is defiant in the face of this broken world. Our hearts are to echo the heartbeat of our joyous God. This is not about skipping around the garden singing, “I’m so happy in Jesus every day,” but about being present to engage whatever is coming our way with the confidence hope and assurance that God has our interests in mind and will see us through.
Believing that sorrow and loss do not have the final word takes courageous joy. This requires a strength of spirit that needs to be nurtured. It requires us to trust in God’s promise that he will restore all things–that death has no sting and the grave holds no victory over us. As we do this, we come to realize that while our visible world may scream loss, the ultimate victory cannot–and will not–be held back. Jesus has already won the battle on our behalf, so we can be people with courageous joy in the face of everything the world sends our way.

I Declare War Video Study (DVD)
$29.99In the New Testament, some the most common analogies used to describe following Jesus are that of a soldier engaged in a good fight and an athlete running to win a prize. In our world today, athletes and soldiers know they must have a mental edge to successfully deal with everything they encounter. They know victory will never occur unless they’ve first won their internal battles.
In I Declare War, author and pastor Levi Lusko shows how the same is true for Christians. God has called each of us to an important assignment-to win the battle and claim the prize-but to fulfill that calling we first have to win the war within. Levi draws from the Bible to show four ways to fight this internal battle:
*Key #1: Discover Your Calling
*Key #2: Prepare for the Trial
*Key #3: Learn Self-Control
*Key #4: Rely on God’s PowerLevi draws on stories from his own life to show how God can help us wage war against issues that rob us of joy such as depression, fear, anxiety, addiction, negative thoughts, pride, jealousy, resentment, anger, self-doubt, and codependent relationships. While Levi does not offer a quick fix or promise the “perfect life” if participants follow all the steps, he does point toward the hope that God provides as we commit to fight the good fight through all the pain, sweat, and tears that each day brings.
