Download or read book 3Story Participant s Guide written by Dave Rahn and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have a story to tell. Maybe you didn't realize that. When you decided to follow Jesus, your story really started to develop. God has a story to tell. Since before you were born, God has been pursuing you. He sent his son for you—and your friends. Your friends have stories. Maybe their stories don't include Jesus—yet. That's where you and 3Story come in. Evangelism is an essential element of every youth group. But when traditional evangelism methods prove awkward, ineffective, or uncomfortable for students to embrace, it’s almost impossible to equip your students to understand and share their faith. But 3Story® is different. 3Story is a way of life that guides followers of Christ to BE good news while telling stories of THE Good News. Based squarely on relationships, 3Story focuses God’s story, my story (the student), and their story (their friends). This curriculum course based on Youth for Christ’s 3Story training presents an interactive learning experience that equips students to live and practice the 3Story lifestyle—a biblically based, culturally relevant form of discipleship-evangelism that emphasizes being real in personal interactions.

In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood.

Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men. This is more than a book; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the man and the father God has destined them to be. Play the man.

Download or read book Pursuing God s Beauty written by Margaret Feinberg and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this six-session small group Bible study, Margaret Feinberg looks at six stories of beauty from the Gospel of John that illustrate how God's beauty is present in our lives. God created us to be drawn toward beauty--created us to pursue beauty so that we might know more about His character, attributes, and work in our world. Perhaps no book of the Bible paints a clearer picture of this than the Gospel of John. Throughout John's Gospel, the beauty of God radiates in the person of Jesus Christ--the one in whom God displayed His whole heart for the world to see. It's within the person of Jesus that we find the invisible attributes of God being made visible, on display like fine pieces of artwork--to be enjoyed, celebrated, and reflected on. Sessions include: Encountering Jesus (John 1 - 3) (18:00) When God Sees through You (John 4 - 8) (20:00) Recognizing the Blind Spots (John 9 - 11) (17:00) When Worship Costs More than Expected (John 12 - 17) (16:00) Mistakes that Refine Instead of Define (John 18 - 19) (13:00) The Hope and Healing of Resurrection (John 20 - 21) (15:00) This guide contains one guide and one DVD.
