Outside The Gate (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99According the the Epistle to the Hebrews, Christians are always to be on the move.

Discovering Gods Good News For You
$9.99How could a hard-hearted killer and Jesus-hater become the greatest-ever advocate for Christianity? Only because of the completeness of the transforming work of Christ.
That man, who became known as the apostle Paul, later wrote to the Christians in Rome, thoroughly explaining the unique greatness and power of God’s good news. Everyone is dead toward God because of sin and stands condemned, but anyone may gain right standing with Him through Jesus Christ. This rightness can come only by believing–by faith. Nothing can earn, buy, or be exchanged for it. And it brings new life and inner change.
This easy-to-use study of the first eight chapters of Romans offers open-ended discussion questions, Bible passages, and helpful explanations and applications to help you, or you and your group, grasp the wonder and transforming power of God’s work in your life.

You Are Alive In Christ
$9.99Our culture today offers many apparently helpful spiritual ideas and religious philosophies. Can you accept them? Can you enhance your faith by adding them to your Christian beliefs and practice? This study takes you to the apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians to find answers.
Paul’s words to the Colossians remain up to the minute today. Whatever human inventions might be added to Jesus and His gospel–pursuing sensual pleasures, keeping rules, focusing on angels and other spirits, maximizing our natural potential–nothing matches up to Christ. Human ideas and effort can only detract, because God the Father has made you complete in His Son.
Open-ended discussion questions, Bible passages, and easy-to-understand explanations and applications help you, or you and your group, explore how Jesus Christ is supreme and every believer is complete in Him.

The apostle tells us what a relationship with Jesus looks like and how it should transform our attitudes and behaviors.
This study guides you, or you and your group, through selected Bible passages, presents straightforward explanations and applications, and provides open-ended discussion questions. You will see yourself changed as you learn, because to know Jesus is to know love–and to know Jesus is to know God.

Trusting Participant Guide (Large Type)
$25.99This Covenant experience will guide participants in a comprehensive, in-depth study of the Bible over twenty-four weeks. Unlike the learning participants may have experienced in other groups, this in-depth study of the whole Bible emphasizes the biblical concept of covenant as a unifying pattern through all the books in the Old and New Testaments. It underscores the unique relationship that God chooses to have with us as God’s people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of God’s love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others. Each episode connects to an aspect of this covenant relationship, which is summarized in the heading of each participant guide. LIFE, AS WE ALL KNOW TOO WELL, IS IMPERFECT. Difficulties are inevitable. That’s why the final eight-weeks, Trusting the Covenant, looks at the crises that sometimes call covenant life into question, and how we are restored to trust in God when troubling things happen. This module discusses the loss of hope, and how it is restored by faithfulness in the midst of suffering. From the story of Job, to the Hebrew exile, to the apocalyptic visions in Daniel and Revelation, we learn how faithful love is at work in everything-to restore hope, freedom, and wholeness to our lives. Each participant in the group needs the Participant Guides and a Bible. The CEB Study Bible is preferred. The Trusting Participant Guide is 8 weeks long, and has a lay flat binding making it easy to take notes in the generous space provided on each page. The Trusting Participant Guide contains the following episodes: Episode 17: John; 1, 2, and 3 John For John the God we meet in Jesus is the one who keeps coming into the world, going out of the way to be in relationship with us. Jesus meets his followers in whatever ways they need with new and abundant life. Jesus draws people back into community and promises the Holy Spirit to those who follow him. Episode 18: Psalms Psalms are songs, poems, and prayers to and about God. There is diversity of authorship across the Psalms. Three major types of psalms are laments, thanksgiving psalms, and psalms of praise. The psalms are user-friendly and give voice to our conflicts, confessions, and cries for God’s rescuing help. The Psalms teach us how to pray and that God’s primary character trait is faithful love. Episode 19: Job Like the Bible as a whole, the book of Job offers a number of voices or perspectives. Job stag

COVENANT TRANSLATES INTO ACTIONS-into how we behave in our everyday lives. That’s why the second module, Living the Covenant, focuses on how the community lives out their covenant in faithful love-how it’s applied to actual relationships in daily life. The books included in these eight episodes examine the practical challenges of faithful covenant life. We explore leadership problems among tribal chieftains, kings and prophets, and spiritual and political crises. They look for practical wisdom and guidance in the teachings of Israel’s sages, the letters of Paul, and more. And by demonstrating how people of vastly different cultures came together in a common purpose, they show how faithful love is the root of the covenant life. Each participant in the group needs the Participant Guides and a Bible. The CEB Study Bible is preferred. The Living Participant Guide is 8 weeks long, and has a lay flat binding making it easy to take notes in the generous space provided on each page. The Living Participant Guide contains the following episodes: Episode 9: Ruth, Esther, Song of Songs Ruth, Esther, and Song of Songs are a part of the “Festival Scroll” and linked to sacred celebrations in Israel’s life. In the story of Ruth, both Ruth and Boaz risk caring beyond conventional expectations, displaying faithful, expansive love with consequences for Israel’s royal future. Esther risks everything to identify with her people and rescue them from a genocidal plot. Song of Songs displays the power and passion of a “crazy love” that also helps us understand God’s love. Episode 10: Luke and Acts Luke and Acts offer a vision of who God is and what salvation means. For the writer of Luke, Jesus is a prophet who reveals God’s heart and intention to r

Each episode connects to an aspect of this covenant relationship, which is summarized in the heading of each participant guide. GOD ESTABLISHES THE COVENANT to be in relationship with us. So the first eight weeks, Creating the Covenant, examines how the covenant community is created and established-highlighting several examples throughout scripture. It discusses the story of our origins in Genesis, the Exodus narrative, the teachings of Moses, the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, as well as other books from each Testament that focus on the foundation of Christian faith. In doing so, it lays out the framework for a life lived in concert with God and others. Each participant in the group needs the Participant Guides and a Bible. The CEB Study Bible is preferred. The Creating Participant Guide is eight weeks long, and has a lay flat binding making it easy to take notes in the generous space provided on each page. The Creating Participant Guide contains the following episodes: Episode 1: Creating the Covenant Relationships with people in our lives are key to faithful living. Covenant is about the family God creates and the power of love that overcomes evil. We are broken and miss the mark. Substitutes for faithful love destroy our relationships. Yet God’s response to broken relationships is to restore us to wholeness. Through the shared practice of reading and interpreting the Bible scripture in holy conversation, we sharpen our understandings until they become more accurate and relevant. And we learn about God’s gracious love and how to share it with others. Episode 2: Torah-Genesis Genesis answers the question: Who are we in the scheme of things? Covenant relationships are a metaphor for life together before God. This life is characterized by both gift and responsibility. Broken relationships in these stories are countered by forgiveness and generosity. Episode

Session 4: The Unique Assignment
Session 5: Financial Feuds Can Fuel Failure
Session 6: My Body Is Not My Own
Session 7: The 3-D/3-C Marriage
Addendum: Marrying Again — A Time For ReflectionAdditional Info
While it’s true that marriage can be a great adventure, it is also true that a successful marriage takes hard work, honest communication, and faith.Before entering into the marriage covenant, couples should consider the finer details of their relationship: How does Christ fit into the relationship? How will finances be handled? How should a husband love his wife, and how should a wife love her husband?
Those questions and many more like them are asked in Mentoring for Marriage, a seven-session study designed for engaged couples seeking pre-marital guidance and challenge. Believing that no study can exhaustively cover the topic of marriage, Daryl G. Donovan has created a resource that fosters critical discussion and thought among engaged couples who have sought out the careful mentorship of a pastor, counselor, or married couple.
Firm in his conviction that every marriage must be sustained through Christ, Donovan provides plenty of space for a couple to work through individual differences and uncertainties. Mentoring for Marriage is an excellent resource for pastors, counselors, engaged couples, married couples, and mentors. This resource enables a reliance upon wisdom and encourages open and honest discourse for any couple wanting a God’s-eye view of marriage before they say “I do.”

Prophets 3 : Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah H
$14.99Surrounded by military and political threats, the people of Israel were led into dangerous alliances and war. Survivors were subjected to steep taxation, exile, intermarriage, and more, and loyalty to God diminished. With the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, all faith seemed lost.Enter the minor prophets, bringers of oracles, parables, and poems named “minor” not for their lack of significance but for the briefness of their texts. Like Jonah in the fish, they confess sin and foresee judgment but emerge from the darkness to tell of forgiveness, restoration, abundant blessings, and salvation. Like the Temple, which was rebuilt, the loyalty of the Lord will grow and prosper.

Pastoral Letters And The Letter To The Hebrews
$14.99The early Church of the first century faced a remarkable challenge of adapting itself to a multicultural and often hostile world. The pastoral letters-the First and Second Letters to Timothy and the Letter to Titus-contained necessary instructions for carrying out the pastoral or ministerial office of the Church. We have included the Letter to the Hebrews with these traditional pastoral letters because it too served a teaching function in the first century, helping to bridge the gap between the old and new covenants.

Covenant Bible Study Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$28.99This Covenant experience will guide participants in a comprehensive, in-depth study of the Bible over twenty-four weeks. Unlike the learning participants may have experienced in other groups, this in-depth study of the whole Bible emphasizes the biblical concept of covenant as a unifying pattern through all the books in the Old and New Testaments. It underscores the unique relationship that God chooses to have with us as God’s people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of God’s love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others. The Leader Guide contains comprehensive and detailed direction for each meeting experience. While each group’s chemistry will vary, the Leader Guide contains the following elements: The Group Meeting Experience – Each Covenant Bible Study episode follows the same essential structure by balancing conversational teaching from biblical experts with engaging discussion among the participants. Covenant is designed so that the meaning of the Bible isn’t found in just listening to a biblical scholar or listening to one’s own inner voice. Only through conversation in community, in the Covenant Group Meeting Experience, can we discover the Bible’s transformative power. During some weeks the group might be so full of energy and questions that conversation leaves less time for the video. That’s okay. The spiritual energy that wakes up and transforms a life is the most important result from this kind of Bible study. Gathering Together (10 min) – The opening questions of this segment in each episode are designed to prompt conversation on a general topic that connects to the main theme of the episode. Begin by reading the scriptures in the Covenant Prayer section for the episode. Have one person say the phrase, “For those who . . .” and then the whole group responds by reading the scripture passage aloud. Reflecting Together (10 min) – This segment guides participants to share what they learned from the week’s scripture readings with questions that tie their discoveries into a central theme. The study also encourages participants to memorize and share verses from the readings that they found particularly meaningful. Video Segment (25 min) – Play the video for the current episode. The cohosts for this opening conversation are Reverend Shane Stanford, senior pastor at Christ United Methodist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and Reverend Christine Chakoian, seni

My Soul Thirsts For God
$18.73Every Christian yearns to have that strong, spiritual relationship with God; a relationship where whatever petitions are on one’s mind are immediately received and handled by the Heavenly Father.
Connecting with God must be developed on a foundation of prayer, dialoguing with God and listening for His still small voice to provide guidance, direction and love.
Author Linda Darlington understood the importance of adopting a resilient prayer life, one that overcomes struggle and distraction as it gives hope and encouragement in personal and/or corporate situations.
Her comprehensive Bible study on prayer, entitled My Soul Thirsts for God, journeys into the different aspects and characteristics of prayer.
Encompassed into seventeen Bible study sessions, the prayer focus begins with why people pray to how one can create meaningful prayers for families, missions and even the nation.
As we begin this communion with the Lord, He expands our prayer lives beyond ourselves and our families to His Kingdom building, our churches, cities, states, nation, missionaries, the hurting and needy. The foundation of all prayer is our love relationship with the Lord, and that grows as we commune with Him through prayer and He works in our lives.
Each session begins with a biblical-minded explanation about a specific focus of prayer, followed by scripture references and activities for group discussion or individual reflection.
By cultivating one’s prayer life through Bible study and quiet time with God, one becomes more cognizant of God’s clear intentions and guiding hand in building a greater spiritual relationship with Him.

Leaving Ordinary : Encounter God Through Extraordinary Prayer
$19.99God desires an intimate relationship with each of us. But, we wonder, how can a person have such a relationship with a holy God? It is one thing to be in awe of Him, but quite another to be intimate with Him.
In Leaving Ordinary, Donna Gaines delves into this issue by exploring the notion of extraordinary prayer. How does Scripture define “intimacy” as it relates to our relationship with God? God gave the Israelites the tabernacle, a temporary and portable dwelling for His glory, and taught them how to approach and worship Him before He led them to their reward-the promised land. Using the tabernacle and its articles (altar, lampstands, etc.) as a guide, Donna teaches readers how to interact with God in that secret place of true intimacy that leads to worship.
Your ordinary daily practice of prayer can become an extraordinary encounter with the living God. Leaving Ordinary is essential reading for women who desire a more intimate relationship with God. Features include:Tools for gaining a stronger, more intimate relationship with GodAn exploration of the tabernacle as it relates to prayer today The definition of “intimacy” as it relates to God.
