CERTAIN HOPE FOR UNCERTAIN TIMES

As the early church penetrated the Roman Empire, it created uncertainty and instability for many of its followers. Christianity and Roman life often found themselves at odds with each other.

CONNECTING WITH THE PSALMS

Item Description

The Psalms come from a different time and culture. Because they were originally written as poetry, the language and literary style of the Psalms often make them a little more difficult to understand. In this study, Phillip Eichman explores several examples from the book of Psalms, some of them well-known and others less familiar so that readers will be able to "connect" with them by looking at some of the historical background and the style of writing. As you work through the study, you'll look for ways to apply the Psalms to your life today.

FRUIT FULL

Item Description

The Fruit of the Spirit is a list that the Apostle Paul gives to a group of struggling churches in the Roman province of Galatia. It is meant to help them judge truth from false teaching, stand firm in faith, and experience the transformation that God is working in His people. It is a call to leave the world behind and boldly journey into the life that God has planned for man. In this study, Bill Rasco examines this simple list of characteristics that's more than an elementary teaching tool. The Fruit of the Spirit is a study of character of Jesus and how His character can come alive in the hearts, minds, and hands of His people. Starting at baptism, when the Holy Spirit takes up residence in the new believer (Acts 2:38), a change takes place. Hebrews 10:14 describes that change. "For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."

GO! (The 'Go' Statements of Jesus)

Item Description

Christianity was never intended to be a passive, spectator religion. It requires action and involvement from all of its members. Jesus made this perfectly clear throughout the four Gospel accounts of His earthly ministry. He repeatedly instructed His followers, and potential followers, to 'Go!' Glenn Newton has collected these 'Go' instructions of Jesus into thirteen lessons that will help motivate you to meaningful, kingdom-building, Christ-following actions. Don't settle for good intentions and the sidelines of the church. You've been called to 'Go!'

Item Description

God Looks at the Heart: A Study of First Samuel. FLEX Adult Bible Study Curriculum.

It serves as reminder that God is always very concerned about the hearts of men and women. Glenn Newton guides us through 1 Samuel and examines the hearts of many of its main characters. As we examine hearts that admirably honor God and those that fail His test, we are encouraged to honestly evaluate our own hearts in light of God's Word. Table of Contents: 1. The Heart of Selflessness 2. The Heart of Sin 3. The Heart of a Servant 4. The Heart of God 5. The Heart of Selfishness 6. The Heart of Unrealized Potential 7. The Heart of Faith 8.

GOD'S GAME PLAN BY AUBREY JOHNSON

Item Description

Let me start by saying this is not a book about football. Although that prospect might excite some readers, it also has the potential to turn many away (especially those who, like me, tend to prefer a nap on Sunday afternoons in the fall). So the truth is, this is a book about spiritual growth using football to illustrate strategies to achieve this growth. Aubrey Johnson defines the ultimate goal of God’s Game Plan as living the “abundant life,” a term originating from Jesus’ statement in John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (NKJV).

HEROES OF FAITH

Item Description

FLEX Adult Bible Study Curriculum A Study of Hebrews Christians are on a journey of faithfulness that will hopefully lead us home with God some day. Along the way we struggle, stumble, and have our doubts that we will ever be what God expects us to be. As Bill Rasco leads us in an exploration of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, we discover that becoming faithful is a process of learning God’s ways. He reduces each hero’s faith experience to its simplest terms – Know + Trust + Move. These same three steps form the basis for the development of our faith today. God is always inviting us to know Him better, trust Him more, and move into new areas that stretch us toward heroic faith. Table of Contents: 1. Heroes of Faith 2. Noah 3. Abraham 4. Joseph 5.

HOPE IN A WORLD OF HURTING BY PHILLIP EICHMAN

Item Description

Hope in a World of Hurting Whether it's your neighbor down the street, a friend at work, or that person in the mirror, we all know people who are experiencing pain right now. That pain may take the form of the death of a loved one, loss of a job, unfaithfulness of a spouse, or financial woes. Is there somewhere one can turn for comfort and hope in the face of suffering? Phillip Eichman digs into Scripture for a look at how Christians should respond to pain and suffering in this world. "It is in the person of Jesus and the pages of the New Testament that God has most completely revealed Himself as a being of compassion and comfort for those living in a world of suffering." There is hope and healing for those who live in Christ, for one day, we will leave behind the pains of this world for a home where we will no longer be troubled with the problem of pain and suffering.

LIVING A LIFE THAT MATTERS

Item Description

FLEX Adult Bible Study Curriculum Cable television mogul, Ted Turner, was once asked in an interview to reflect on the millions of dollars he had made through his shrewd business deals. He replied sadly, “It’s an empty bag.” The writer of Philippians tells us to be “anxious for nothing.” This may be one of the most difficult passages in all of Scripture. We live in a day and age when everyone seems to be “on edge.” Even in many churches, we just seem on edge, afraid to do anything, and afraid the things that are being done might not be the right things. It’s a tough time to attempt to be “anxious for nothing.” As a result, many people are turning to things of the world to try to ease the angst. The problem with these things is that, according to Ecclesiastes 1:1, they are meaningless. And the stark truth is that if we invest our time in meaningless things, our lives will not have true meaning. Glenn Newton offers insights from Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes that guide us toward a life that will really matter. What attitudes do we need to develop? What actions do we need to take? What habits do we need to engrain? A partnership with God now will equip us for a life that matters — both now and for eternity. Table of Contents: 1. Living a Life that Matters 2. Living Virtuously 3. Living Courageously 4. Living Sacrificially 5. Living Joyfully 6. Living Graciously 7. Living Reverently 8. Living Triumphantly 9. Living Trustfully 10. Living Humbly 11.
