3:16 Study Guide With DVD Updated Edition (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99In this updated classic, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado unpacks the meaning behind John 3:16, one of the best-known and most-beloved passages in the Bible. This simple verse came out of an unusual conversation that Jesus had under the cover of night with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From the start, Nicodemus made it clear he inhabited a land of good efforts, sincere gestures, and hard work. Give God your best, his philosophy said, and God does the rest. Jesus’ response? Your best won’t do. Your works don’t work. Unless you are born again, you can’t even see what God is doing.
Born again. The word born, by definition, implies a passive act. The enwombed child contributes nothing to the delivery. Postpartum celebrations applaud the work of the mother who does the delivery. And the Greek term that Jesus used for again implies that the one who did the work the first time will repeat it. In other words, the original Creator will re-create his creation! Born: God exerts the effort. Again: God restores the beauty. We don’t try again. We need, not the muscle of self, but a miracle of God.
The thought bewildered Nicodemus. “How can this be?” he asked. Jesus answered by leading him to the Hope diamond of the Bible: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment . . . yet solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. As this study will reveal, the heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God’s treatment for the human heart is prescribed in John 3:16: “He loves. He gave. We believe. We live.”
The five sessions include:
1. The Most Famous Conversation in the Bible
2. Hope for the Hard Heart
3. The Heart He Offers
4. Heaven’s “Whoever” Policy
5. The Last Word on LifeThis pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

Evidence That Demands A Verdict Video Study (DVD)
$29.99For more than forty years, Evidence That Demands a Verdict has encouraged and strengthened millions of people around the world. It has convinced skeptics of the Bible’s reliability, helped believers articulate their faith, and given them the vital facts they need to defend God’s Word and lead others to faith in Jesus. The book has now been revised and updated to include newly uncovered historical documentation, recent scholarship, and new and expanded chapters to address recent attacks on Christianity.
In this new eight-session video study (guide sold separately), Josh and his son, Sean, help believers in Christ understand how the books of the New Testament came into being, how they differ from “Gnostic” and non-biblical texts, and why they can be sure that the New Testament books are historically reliable. They also examine how believers can know that Jesus existed, why the claims he made about himself are true, how he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about himself, and how believers can know the resurrection took place.
This study is for anyone who has ever been stumped by someone’s arguments against Christianity or the Bible–or has wondered for themselves if the Bible’s depiction of Jesus is true and not just a made-up fairy tale. It has been specifically created to help Christians know what they believe, why it is true, and how they communicate biblical truth to a skeptical world.

Contagious Faith Training Course
$61.99In this new video-based training course, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces you to the five Contagious Faith Styles-Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, and Truth-Telling-and helps you discover which of these approaches (or combination of them) will enable you to naturally share your faith in Jesus with the people around you.
The Contagious Faith assessment will help you identify your primary style, along with any secondary styles you discover. It will give you next steps for developing and deploying your natural approach in order to reach others for Christ. It will also emphasize the importance of all the skill set areas discussed in the Contagious Faith book, and wherever natural it will prompt them to try out the skills discussed on the video with someone else in the group. In this way their effectiveness and confidence will grow-and with it, their potential for bearing spiritual fruit by impacting the lives of others.
The six sessions in Contagious Faith can be used in small groups, classes, student ministries, and church-wide campaigns. The training videos will also include short interviews in which Mark Mittelberg will interact with five individuals who speak and use each of the 5 faith-sharing styles. Much like Mittelberg’s, Becoming a Contagious Christian, we see the Contagious Faith book and course becoming the standard materials churches and Christian ministries will use around the world to help their members more effectively share their faith with others.

God Of Freedom Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)

In this 10-session study of Exodus 19-40, journey through the story of how God shepherds His newly-liberated children into an understanding of what their freedom means: lives consecrated for service to God and to one another. Revisit familiar scenes of the giving of the Ten Commandments, the idolatrous worship of a golden calf, and of the intricate details of the tabernacle. And with fresh perspective, ask what these stories teach God’s children today about how to live as those set free.
In every page of the Bible, learn to see Christ through the stories of His people. And discover how the God who created you and made a covenant with you will deliver you from death to life, for His name and renown.

God And Race Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99This Study Guide with DVD includes:
*DVD and individual access to 5 streaming video sessions
*Discussion and reflection questions with video notes
*Personal study between sessions
*Leader’s GuideA recent Pew Research study discovered that 6 out of 10 adults in America believe racial tension is a major problem in this country-and one that is only growing worse. Today, people across the nation are dealing with tensions between blacks and whites, and often this tension breaks out into violence. People are talking about the issue; but sadly, the church has been reluctant to engage in the discussion.
In God and Race, pastors Wayne Francis and John Siebling seek to provide a non-threatening means for pastors, church leaders, and churchgoers to start to dialogue about this important issue. Wayne Francis, lead pastor of The Life Church in New York, speaks to the “Black Fist” part, showing how the racism that blacks have faced have led to many solidarity movements that have served to increase racial tensions in our country. John Siebling, lead pastor of The Life Church in Memphis, Tennessee, speaks to the “White Knuckles” part, showing how many whites today are “white-knuckling” it to try and hold on to old (and wrong) ways of thinking . . . or are just tensing up when approached with the issue and hoping that it will just go away.
In this study, Wayne and John show how neither black fists or white knuckles are the answer to the problem, but that what is needed are open hands, open hearts, and open minds. They do this by discussing seven key statements that they believe the church needs to acknowledge today:
1. Racism is a problem2. The gospel is the solution
3. It’s more than just a spiritual problem
4. It’s complicated
5. White people must understand and acknowledge the sin of slavery and mistreatment of black people
6. Black people in turn have to forgive white people of previous and present injustices, while also not harboring hatred and racism toward white people
7. Unless we make a solid intentional choice to connect, understand, reach, and love one another, we will remain divided
In the Gospels, we see how the crowds came to Jesus because he talked about real issues and was not afraid to engage in the important issues of his day. In the church of today, we need to be doing the same, for it is only by recognizing, addressing, and openly dialoguing about the racial tension in America that we can together begin to work to

When Strivings Cease Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99This Study Guide with DVD includes:
*DVD and individual access to 6 streaming video sessions
*Discussion and reflection questions with video notes
*Personal study between sessions
*Leader’s GuideBestselling author, entrepreneur, and speaker Ruth Chou Simons calls women to discover how God’s profound gift of grace and favor invites them to rest from chasing approval and earning love, and instead discover the freedom of true belonging and worth that doesn’t depend on them.
In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, women are more anxious than ever. Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to what we do rather than who we are. And we end up constantly feeling behind, lacking, and like we’re failing–at home, at work, with friends, with God.
Ruth Chou Simons knows something of feeling measured by achievement, performance, and the approval of others. As a Taiwanese immigrant growing up between two cultures, Ruth was always on a mission to prove her worth. Until she came to truly understand the one thing that changes everything: the extravagant, undeserved gift of grace from a merciful God.
In this six-session Bible study, Ruth guides us all on a journey to find freedom from the never-ending quest for approval and affirmation. She shows us how to:
*confront the ways we look to superficial means of acceptance and belonging, and find relief in realizing we can’t be so amazing that we won’t need grace
*stop seeing God as someone we perform for and start finding delight in responding to God’s welcome
*find relief from running the hamster wheel of relying on our own strength, our own abilities, and our own savvy–and always coming up short–by truly understanding the freedom Jesus purchased
With personal story, biblical insights, practical applications, and original artwork by Ruth, this transformational new book helps us see the beautiful truth that God’s favor is the only currency we need, because in Christ we are enough.

Ephesians Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99This Study Guide with DVD includes:
*DVD and individual access to 6 streaming video sessions
*Personal study between sessions
*40 Day reading plan through Ephesians
*Leader’s GuideThe message of the gospel that Paul brought to Ephesus forever transformed its citizen’s lives. Out of this city-filled with idolatry and Roman temples-rose up a new community that lived to proclaim the grace, mercy, and love of a God who had sent His Son into the world to forgive their sins. But things did not always go smoothly within this new group. Ephesus was a city of great cultural diversity, which meant that the church Paul founded was also a multiethnic group. It wasn’t long before these various groups were finding it difficult to come together as one, put aside their differences, and get along. In other words, the church in Ephesus was having the same problems we face today.
In this six-session study, Pastor Derwin Gray of Transformation Church will guide you through Paul’s letter to this group of diverse believers. You will see how Paul presented the revolutionary idea that Jesus came not only to forgive sins but also to create a unified family out of a people with differently-colored skins. Just like a multi-faceted diamond, the different “shapes” in the church actually help to reveal its beauty. It is actually the differences among believers that make them different for the better.
The 40 Days Through the Book series has been designed to help believers more actively engage with God’s Word. Each study encourages participants to read through one book in the New Testament at least once during the course of 40 days (approximately 6 weeks of meetings). During the course, participants will be provided with (1) an understanding of the background and culture in which the book was written, (2) insights into key passages of Scripture, and (3) clear applications and takeaways from the particular book that they can apply to their lives.

The Contagious Faith assessment will help you identify your primary style, along with any secondary styles you discover.

Philippians Teen Bible Study
$15.99As disciples of Jesus, we have been given the great responsibility of stewarding our influence for the glory of God. We were created to think, dream, and lead at the feet of Jesus. Leadership is, then, cultivated under the overarching purpose of discipleship. This is why leadership doesn’t begin with action, but rather identity – not with what we can accomplish, but rather what Jesus has accomplished for us. In this study we will dive into Paul’s letter to the first church ever planted in Europe. A closer look allows us to glean the transformational ideas that successful leaders have embraced, both past and present.
In this 7-session Bible study, students will learn from Student Leadership University Vice President, Brent Crowe, as he examines the life and leadership of the apostle Paul, exploring twelve key elements of Christ-honoring leadership. Students will begin to recognize their own leadership potential, understand what it truly means to lead others, and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Theological Ethics Video Lectures (DVD)

Ross Hastings guides the church to think deeply and theologically about the moral formation of persons in our communities, about ethical inquiry and action, and about the tone and content of our engagement in the public square.

Theological Ethics Video Lectures is for those who lead churches or ministries (or who someday will) and who urgently need deep theological grounding as they daily encounter ethical and moral issues where they need to provide a gracious, truthful, and gospel-directed response.

During the course, participants will be provided with (1) an understanding of the background and culture in which the book was written, (2) insights into key passages of Scripture, and (3) clear applications and takeaways from the particular book that they can apply to their lives.
Designed for use with Ephesians Video Study (sold separately).

You Were Made For This Moment Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99Racial divides. Political strife. Uncertain futures. This is the story of our day. But it is also the story of the exiles in Persia. The Jewish people had been taken from their homeland. They were being pressured to conform to foreign customs. They were facing discrimination. Now, an edict was being issued that would stamp out the Jewish race forever. Everything seemed to be falling apart for God’s people. But then two figures emerge on the scene . . . and everything changes.
As Max Lucado relates in this five-session study, Esther and Mordecai are these unlikely heroes of the tale. Both had spent their lives trying to fit in and conform. But both experience a turning point–a crucial moment where they choose to step up and stand out for the God they served. As a result of their courageous actions, winter turned to springtime for God’s people. They emerged from the crisis stronger, more unified, and more committed to serving the God of their forefathers, even in their exile.
The promise for God’s people in the book of Esther is the same promise that we have today. Our God triumphs in troubled times. When it seems as if everything is falling into pieces, he is working in our midst, causing everything to fall into place. The very one who seeks to destroy us will be destroyed. Even when it appears that evil has won, and that there is no hope for our future, we can know God’s throne is still occupied. We will triumph in the end.
The question for you today is not whether God will show up on the scene. Rather, it is whether you will choose to be a part of it when he does. Will you, like Mordacai and Esther, realize you are a position “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14)? God is calling you to rise up in these chaotic times. You were made for this moment.
Sessions include:
1. The Problem of Conformity (Esther 1:1-2:18)
2. A Moment of Decision (Esther 2:19-4:14)
3. Heaven Set in Motion (Esther 4:15-6:14)
4. The God of Great Turnarounds (Esther 7:1-8:17)
5. Remembering God’s Faithfulness (Esther 9:1-10:3)This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.
