Description

Welcome to the revolution, a revolution led by Jesus, who provided us with the vision of a kingdom worth dying for, making him the most radical revolutionary of all time. In Revolutionary Kingdom, we learn that to join this revolution… to be considered true disciples of Christ…we must exchange comfortable cultural worldviews and values for the radical requirements of living out the Kingdom in the here and now. It’s when we get serious about God’s call that we, too, live revolutionary, world-changing lives.

We’re sometimes told that “mountaintop moments”—those times when we experience the power, love, and grace of God in a way that’s difficult to put into words—are not the stuff of every day. In Mountaintop Moments, Dr. Ed Robb associates these personal spiritual mountaintop moments with the mountains in the Old and New Testaments and the events related to these sacred places, showing us how their lessons can be woven into our everyday lives.

Perfect for Christians at any stage of their spiritual journey, the book can be used as a stand-alone resource, or combined with the comprehensive Leader Guide and DVD featuring Dr. Robb for a six-week study.

We love stories. That’s why we go to movies, read books, and listen to friends recount an experience.

That’s also why teachers use the technique of storytelling to make a difficult concept easier for us to process. Jesus told stories, or parables, for that very reason— and to help us understand how God wants us to live life.

Sometimes, however, stories like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son can be interpreted in more that one way. Even Bible scholars are divided on their meanings. In Stories Jesus Told, you’ll explore six of Jesus’ parables to learn how to read, interpret, and live them in your daily life. A DVD and Leader Guide are elements you can add to make a lively, six-week group study.

The Book of Revelation contains passages of great beauty and comfort, as well as passages that strike the casual reader as bizarre, bewildering, and sometimes frightening.

How are readers today to discern God’s message in this peculiar part of the Bible?

Breaking the Code, Revised Edition provides a trustworthy guide to the rich symbolism of this important biblical book.

Noted biblical scholar Bruce M. Metzger presents the fruits of solid scholarship in a nonacademic style. This revised edition includes updates based on current biblical research, as well as additional teaching from author and respected New Testament scholar David deSilva.

Jesus taught his disciples to love neighbor first as a way to more deeply love God. In his exploration of Jesus’ teaching and travels with his disciples, Tom Berlin suggests that Jesus teaches us how to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength by showing us how to love our neighbor. While many hope to learn to be better family, friends, leaders, and neighbors by finding a deeper relationship with God, what if becoming a better neighbor leads you to that deeper love of God? In Reckless Love, you will consider your life, and learn how loving the people around you will completely renew your faith and give you a new experience of loving God.

There is hope for you in hard times. Your story of hurt, heartache, and hopelessness has been heard, and God has a message for you: don’t give up, don’t lose hope. God is with you and will give you everything you need. It’s the same message God gave to Elijah when he was so alone he hid in a cave. And it’s the same message he gave to Elisha when he was surrounded by his enemies. In Hope for Hard Times you’ll discover how these two great, biblical prophets trusted God to find a way for them. Read these stories, pray, and listen as you receive encouragement and guidance for whatever you are facing today. Components for this 4-session study include the book and a Leader Guide.

It seems hard sometimes to understand why studying the Old Testament is as important as studying the New Testament.

Everything changed when Jesus entered the picture, so why learn about outdated, irrelevant spiritual laws? In The Gospel According to Leviticus, author and pastor David Kalas uses his thoughtful and assuring style to assist you in discovering the gospel in the Old Testament… to help you find God’s love in God’s law. This follow-up to When Did God Become a Christian? can be used as a stand-alone resource or a six-week, small-group study when combined with the additional Leader Guide.

Social media can cause us to yearn for the lives we assume others are living. Over the course of 21 days, this study will guide you through daily challenges to help you to embrace authenticity in three key areas of your life: vocation (the What), relationships (the Who), and faith (the Why).

Being authentic in all areas of your life allows you to see how uniquely beautiful your story is. It enables you to be grateful for who you are. And it empowers you to move toward a more content life.

Distracted living diminishes our ability as Christ followers to live out Jesus’ greatest commandments: to love God and love others. The antidote to distraction is focused love. This 3-week journey will help you become more attentive to your relationship with God as it invites you to move from forgetfulness to remembering, from distraction to intentionality, and from self-sufficiency to God-reliance, so that you can live lives that center on loving God and loving others as ourselves.

Samuel, Esther, Jonah… they all lived pretty ordinary lives…until they didn’t.

In Called, author Susan Robb shows us how God interrupts the lives of ordinary men and women, calling and empowering them to lives of service they never would have imagined on their own. And she shows us that the same God who called six of the Bible’s most iconic characters calls us, too, to bring hope and transformation to the world. Discover how to hear and respond to the unique call God is placing on your life in this six-week study.

Additional components include a DVD and a comprehensive Leader Guide.

Jesus knew how to tell a story. He knew that in order to get his message across he needed to relate to the people who gathered to listen—first century Jews—who lived in a very different world than the one in which we live today. In Short Stories by Jesus, author Amy-Jill Levine takes you back in time and explains how original audiences understood Jesus’ parables. You’ll learn how new interpretations of the parables continue to challenge and provoke contemporary readers two thousand years later.

In addition to the book, a Participant Guide, Leader Guide, and DVD are available for this six-week study.

Description

In 1741, John Wesley preached his famous sermon titled “The Almost Christian” in which he encouraged people to follow Christ wholeheartedly. We should not be satisfied with being almost Christian but rather strive towards being altogether a Christian. In Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience, author and pastor Magrey deVega leads a group of authors to explore how we can make the same commitment to Christ during Advent, connecting our Wesleyan heritage with the traditional Advent themes of Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace.

Prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness…this is what we commit to when we become members of The United Methodist Church, and it’s a big step. But A Disciple’s Path helps us look beyond membership, presenting an engaging approach to discipleship from a distinctly Wesleyan perspective.

Discipleship is ongoing, so the 6-week study is perfect for new-member groups, but also works well in small groups of long-time members. It helps you develop spiritual practices, discover your unique gifts, and engage in ministry that brings transformation to your own life and to the lives of others and the world.

The Bible was central to John Wesley’s faith and the Christian movement he founded. In this study, you will discover a Wesleyan approach to the Bible and the Christian life through a Bible study that uses Wesley’s own words.

The authors use John Wesley’s sermons to illuminate the Bible passages at the heart of Wesley’s understanding of what it means to be a real Christian. Each chapter explores a key Scripture text and one of Wesley’s sermons on that text. Through their insightful and engaging study, Bishop Scott Jones and his son Arthur show how the teachings of Wesley address questions that many of us still struggle with today.

The Wesley Challenge introduces young adults to our denomination’s father in a practical and accessible way through twenty-one questions studied over three weeks. This series is, in fact, a great way for your entire church to renew its passion and discover a deeper commitment to God—one that is more authentic, vulnerable, and soul-shaping—right along with your young adults. Daily posts and messages are designed with an emphasis on graphics and short content bits to engage your physical, emotional, and spiritual lives throughout the 21-day study.

Join Adam Hamilton for a six-week journey as he travels to England, following the life of John Wesley and exploring the defining characteristics of a Wesleyan Christian. Wesley’s message and his faith continue to speak to twenty-first century Christians—calling for a revival of our hearts and souls so that our world might be changed.

We are born in the image of a loving and generous God; we are born to be generous.

In this 4-week group study, those seeking to live a more generous life will be exposed to and inspired by cultural, generational, and family attitudes towards generosity.

Money has great power.

Used wisely, it can help us accomplish our goals, provide for our needs, and fulfill our life purpose. In recent years, many of us found ourselves spending tomorrow’s money today.

The result was not greater satisfaction and happiness, but greater stress and anxiety.

Offers structure and tools to ensure that the stewardship message consistently reaches all church members, built on Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations by Robert Schnase.

Perfect for a four-week stewardship campaign and small-group study, Defying Gravity offers multiple format options, videos, handouts, and other tools. Break free from the culture of “more” and help your congregation become, instead, a church of generosity.

This twenty-first century translation of Wesley’s money management philosophy will give everyone in your congregation—adults, as well as children and teenagers—a new way to think about money, not only during your stewardship program, but for the rest of their lives.

Description

Offers a weekly reading accompanied by 7 days of challenges in the forms of self-assessment, journaling, and prayer. After 28 days, members are encouraged to embrace a life-giving journey toward generosity. The supplementary DVD sparks discussion and leader helps in the back of the book allow anyone to lead the group.

Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bible’s wisdom when it comes to prudent financial practices. In these pages are found the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity.

This best-selling program offers the ideas and tools needed to reach all levels of the church. By involving church members in thinking and praying daily about their financial discipleship, the entire congregation will move towards goal-oriented and mission-minded giving.

Our possessions can create unbearable weight and affect our ability to serve and thrive.

How do we defy gravity and find freedom? Berlin explores what’s required to sustain a vibrant life, what we need versus what we want, and what we can do to avoid being pulled into the orbit of materialism.

John Wesley believed money was important as a way of expressing and living out Christian faith.

This essential little book presents Wesley’s concepts and beliefs in plain, useful language, suitable for individuals to grapple with and groups to discuss and act upon.

Description

How do we walk with Christ— daily follow him, grow in him, and faithfully serve him? Join Adam Hamilton this Lent and Easter and discover five essential spiritual practices rooted in Jesus’ own walk with God. In each chapter, you will explore one of these practices— each of which is intended to be a part of our daily walk with Christ—its New Testament foundation, and its potential effect on our personal lives and our lives together as the church.

Simon Peter was an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call. He was not rich or educated, but was familiar with hard work. He was quick-tempered and impetuous, but possessed a passion that would change the world. He left everything to follow his teacher, yet struggled with doubt and fear. Join pastor and author Adam Hamilton in this six-week Lenten journey, and take an indepth dive into the life, faith, and character of Simon Peter.

Join award-winning author Adam Hamilton as he travels from Egypt to Mt. Sinai, the Nile, the Red Sea, and the wilderness exploring the sites of Moses’ life.

As Hamilton shares historical information, archaeological data, and biblical text, you’ll gain a better understanding of Moses’ significance in your life today, and you’ll discover how you, too, can turn your reluctance into boldness.

Adam Hamilton believes that powerful answers to many of our complicated questions are contained in the Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs.

In Creed, he explores not only what Christians believe, but also why they believe, and why it matters, which in turn leads readers to confront and examine their own core beliefs and go beyond reciting the Creed’s familiar words.

Everything happens for a reason.

True? Not so fast. In Adam Hamilton’s book, Half Truths, you’ll learn that this phrase, and others, are really just popular sayings. The five-week, DVD-based study can be used in small groups or as a churchwide program where all ages explore the topics at the same time.
