Download or read book A Life Beyond Amazing Study Guide written by Dr. David Jeremiah and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were people in the first century so drawn to Jesus of Nazareth? His powerful miracles and challenging teachings, for sure. But it was also His character. Humanity had never witnessed someone who is loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, compassionate, generous, faithful, humble, and self-controlled all the time. It was as if God Himself had become a human being to demonstrate the life that is possible–a life beyond amazing. The traits that Jesus demonstrated in His life were traits empowered by the Spirit of God who filled Him. When Jesus returned to heaven, He sent His Spirit to indwell all His true followers so they could display the same character in their lives–not for their benefit alone but to show the world the kind of life God intended us to enjoy. The apostle Paul called these traits "the fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:22–23). In this A Life Beyond Amazing Study Guide, Dr. David Jeremiah describes the divinely empowered life that is possible for followers of Christ. Between introductory and concluding messages, Dr. Jeremiah explores each of the nine traits of a Spirit-filled life as outlined by the apostle Paul–traits that produce a life beyond amazing. Each lesson also includes: An outline of the main subjects and Scriptures covered during the lesson An overview of Dr. Jeremiah's teaching on the topic being studied Application questions to help individuals and small groups delve into the Bible A Did You Know? section that adds a point of interest to the lesson

He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back. Bolsinger writes: "To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip." When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve. Also available: Tempered Resilience Study Guide

Download or read book Bible Study Guide Galatians written by Andrew J. Lamont-Turner and published by Andrew J. Lamont-Turner. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core message of the book of Galatians revolves around the concept of spiritual freedom attained through justification by grace through faith. This profound truth liberates believers from the constraints of the Old Testament Law. Paul vehemently condemns any attempt to undermine God’s grace or alter the purity of the gospel (Galatians 1:8–10). To reinforce his authority as an apostle, Paul recounts his divine calling and emphasises that righteousness is not achieved through adherence to the Law but through faith in Christ alone (Galatians 1:11–2:14; 2:21). He urges the Galatians to guard their independence and resist being burdened again by the yoke of bondage represented by the Mosaic law (Galatians 5:1). However, Paul also emphasises that Christian freedom should not be misconstrued as a license for indulging in sinful behaviour. Instead, it presents an opportunity to express love and serve one another (Galatians 5:13; 6:7–10). The Christian life is to be lived under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16–18). Crucially, Paul underscores the transformative power of Christ’s crucifixion, highlighting that believers are united with Christ in His death, leading to the production of spiritual fruit by the indwelling Spirit (Galatians 2:20). This spiritual fruit serves as evidence of a life lived in alignment with the grace and freedom found in Christ.
