Christ himself gave

the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

to equip his people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God

and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)

CHRISTINE CAINE

hame is everywhere we look. It hides in the shadows, lies to us, and shackles us in the prison of our past. In this five-session video Bible study, Christine Caine shows that if we want to be free of shame and change our future, we have to believe God is bigger than our mistakes, our inadequacies, and our limitations. We have to lay hold of Jesus’ power today and step into the future he has planned for us. We have to believe we can live unashamed!

1. Run, Don’t Hide (21:00 min) 2. Today Is the Day (19:00 min) 3. Possess Your Inheritance (23:00 min) 4. God Never Wastes a Hurt (20:00 min) 5. Highly Unlikely (23:00 min)

Designed for use with the Unashamed Study Guide (9780310698487).

Where in our churches can people go when they have questions?

American culture is shifting. Increasingly, people are not satisfied to just listen and accept truth. They want to process and discover for themselves, discussing their doubts and wrestling with their questions in order to meet the God who loves them among a community who accepts them.

Alpha creates this judgement-free space within the local church, where people can share their point of view, get to know others exploring faith, and experience the message of the gospel and the presence of Christ in a powerful way.

WHAT IS ALPHA? Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. It’s a ten-week course run in churches, coffee shops, prisons, and homes worldwide. Essentially, Alpha is a safe place to explore life’s biggest questions.

Alpha creates an environment of hospitality, where people who might not call themselves a Christian can discover and develop a relationship with Jesus. No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: food, an Alpha talk, and good conversation.

FOOD

Most sessions start with food because it’s a great way to build community and get to know each other.

The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation on big issues around faith. Usually around

The 3 Most Underserved People in Your Community The heart of outreach is loving people enough to do something about it. Here are three underserved groups you and your church can adopt, Bibles designed specifically for them, and organizations that can help you get started.

PRISONERS There is no life so broken that it can’t be restored and made whole again by God. Your church can bring hope to the men and women behind bars. The family members of prisoners are often also in need of assistance and encouragement.

WAYS TO HELP:

• Our friends at Prison Fellowship make it easy to get involved and connect with local chaplains. Visit PrisonFellowship.org to learn how your church can minister to prisoners and their families.

• The Free on the Inside Bible features personal testimonies, extra study helps, the easy-to-read complete Bible text of the New International Reader’s Version, a generous 9.3-point type.

$6.99 | $4.89 | 50+ $3.50 each

LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL Police, firefighters, and EMTs dedicate their lives to protecting others and saving lives. We can show them our gratitude by delivering homemade cookies, notes of thanks and encouragement, and prayers for their safety and protection as they serve.

WAYS TO HELP:

• Two organizations, Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers and Fellowship of Christian Firefighters, can connect you with more ways to serve your local emergency personnel. Connect with them at FCPO.org and

FellowshipOfChristianFirefighters.org.

• Peacemakers and Answering the Call are compact and portable New Testaments with Psalms and Proverbs featuring real-life stories and the easy-to-read New International Version.

IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES There are so many ways your church can help displaced families who are now living in your community, from English classes to clothing drives—even something as simple as helping them navigate the grocery store for the first time.

Immature People Don’t Change the World for Jesus

It’s Time to Start a Revolution “Leading people into genuine life change in Jesus can be incredibly difficult.

Yet our ability to make mature disciples of Jesus affects everything that happens in our churches.

Our church did discipleship the way most do—connecting people to a small group, challenging them to serve, and inviting them to give. But people were only changing on the surface. They weren’t growing up. We were simply recycling the same problems.

Sadly, I wasn’t changing deeply in my own discipleship either. I was busy and overloaded. In a painful season, God helped me realize I was an emotional infant trying to raise up mothers and fathers of the faith. It became starkly clear that it is not possible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.

When we began to implement this in our church, it was a revolution for our people.

We went from pretending everything was fine, to living on whole new levels of truth. We no longer measured our spirituality by how much we did for God, but by how much we loved others.

As a leader, I went from feeling like a tired pastor working for God, to feeling like a loved son who served out of a cup that overflowed from being with God.” —Pete Scazzero, Founding Pastor, New Life Fellowship Church, Queens, NY
