Description
One of the greatest gifts that Christ has
given us is each other. Through Christ's
body, the church, we discover our unique
gifts and experience worship, healing and
power. In ten studies, Rob Suggs leads us to
grow in community--loving and nurturing
one another, and in reflecting Christ's love
to the world around us.
Depth. Strength. Wisdom. Maturity. We
long to be people who exhibit such
qualities. We want to strengthen our
character and deepen our relationship with
Christ. But spiritual depth requires spiritual
discipline. These Bible studies by Andrea
Sterk and Peter Scazzero are designed to
help us learn how God intends for us to live
and show us how God helps us grow to
maturity..

Description
Virtue may not be a word you use every
day, but it defines the qualities of a
person of character. One of the good
things about belonging to God is that he
develops virtues in you. In nine sessions
Cindy Bunch leads you to investigate-and learn to practice--key Christian
virtues: faith, hope, love, wisdom,
justice, courage, moderation, integrity
and perseverance.
Do you sometimes wish that the Bible
could make your decisions for you?
Donald Baker is familiar with this desire.
He writes, "God has given me free will,
and while I appreciate his confidence in
my ability to choose, there are times
when I wish that he would make the
decisions for me." The Bible won't give
you a direct answer to each choice--or
dilemma--you face. But the Bible will
teach you how to make decisions
wisely, confidently and in harmony with
God's will. These studies introduce you
to the Bible's lessons on
decisionmaking--and show you how to
apply what you learn to your own
decisions, big and small.

Description
Hosea 6 declares, “Come, let us return to
the LORD . . . let us press on to know the
LORD . . . And He will come to us like the
rain.” This verse is the essence of
Downpour, a revival-ready book by Pastor
James MacDonald. MacDonald writes with
the desire to witness an absolute soaking of
God's Spirit on the church in North
America. He is grieved by statistics showing
little or no difference between the lifestyles
of professing Christians and their
nonbelieving neighbors, and he counters
that with a five-point outline that charts the
pathway to personal revival.
James MacDonald: bold, practical, and
communciated in a way designed to set
readers free from the negativity that erodes
happiness. This new revision now includes
study application questions in each chapter
to help readers identify the attitudes of the
heart that need change in order for God's
abundance to flow. While patterns of
thinking won't always change overnight,
Pastor MacDonald shows readers how to
begin to recognize wrong attitudes and
work on replacing them with the right ones.

When Life Is
Hard
Available in

Description
When life is hard, really hard, we often
spend all our time pleading, begging,
yelling, refusing, and questioning. While
none of these things are necessarily
unusual, they are missing the
ultimate point. When life is hard, when
things get ugly, when all hope seems to be
lost... that is when we are able to display
the superiority of the life lived in God.
It is in those moments of despair, when we
question what is happening, when we don't
know what to do, when some trials never
seem to end, that we can lean most heavily
on God's promises and truths.

Bible Study: Spiritual Growth (Alphabetically)
April 3, 2014
Description
Do small groups really work? If you've
led or even been part of a small group,
the experience can be frustrating. How
do you juggle priorities and
personalities? How can you tell what
individuals want or need from the
group? And how do you even get
people to clear an hour in their
schedule to show up? What's meant to
bring life can become dry, stale and
ineffective. Tara Miller and Jenn
Peppers, experienced small-group
facilitators and trainers, have observed
and had the same questions and
frustrations. But they've also
experienced the power small groups
have to help people heal, to allow
individuals to wrestle with questions, to
create a space where people know and
are known by others, and to open
people up to encounter God more
deeply. So in these pages, Miller and
Peppers passionately offer help and
hope for your small group, so that you
can encounter God in new and deeper
ways together. Their honest,
nonprogrammatic guide

Sometimes hope becomes so real that
it's almost tangible. But at other times-especially when tragedy or hardship
intrudes--you wonder whether your
hope will fail, leaving you exposed,
vulnerable and overwhelmed. In eight
sessions, Jack Kuhatschek leads you to
explore both sides of hope. You'll
confront doubts and fears, and you'll
anticipate the great joy that awaits you
in Jesus Christ.

direct you to God-given sources of power,
assurance and hope
