Book Unoffendable Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Download or read book Unoffendable Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video written by Brant Hansen and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEING UNOFFENDABLE IS A CHOICE It’s a provocative idea: We are not entitled to get offended or stay angry at other people. The idea of our own “righteous anger” is a myth. Instead, the Bible calls every follower of Christ to do something radical and countercultural: Let go of our anger and forgive. As it turns out, giving up our right to be offended is one of the most freeing, healthy, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, and encouraging things we can do. It allows us to recognize that people are broken and stop being scandalized by their actions. It enables us to accept people and stop judging them. It creates a way for us to not just love others but to actually like them. In this six-session Bible study, based on the bestselling book of the same name, Brant Hansen shares practical ways to live life with less stress and more care by becoming unoffendable. In his highly entertaining style, he seeks to lift the religious burdens from our backs and allow us to experience the joy of gratitude every day of our lives—flourishing the way God intended. This study guide includes: Individual access to six streaming video sessions A “how to use this guide” section Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions Sessions and video run times: The Myth of Righteous Anger (18:00) What Humans Are Like (18:00) The Physiological Effects of Anger (18:00) What About Injustice?

Book The Hard Good Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Download or read book The Hard Good Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video written by Lisa Whittle and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa Whittle will inspire you to see the hardships in your own life as opportunities to discover your purpose in God's perfect plan. "In this world you will have trouble," Jesus says to his disciples in John's Gospel. It's not an if statement, but a when statement. Hard times come in this life, and some of us may even wonder how God's plan could work for our good...But Jesus immediately follows with these words: "But take heart! I have overcome the world." The Hard Good Study Guide is for anyone who wants to take heart, who wants Jesus to be their present reality as much as their future hope. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, Bible reading, video notes, and a leader's guide. An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!). This six-session video Bible study (video streaming included) is focused on two kings: David and Saul. Their lives went down very different roads, and one of their greatest differences was in how they handled hardship and how they trusted God with their lives. As you take the "hard good" road, you'll learn to: Accept things you wish were different. Apologize and forgive first. Give up the now for the best. Cheer for someone who has what you want. Open your heart, even when it's been hurt. At our very core is the desire to be God's people—faithful, fulfilling the potential God created in us. To reach that point, sometimes we must endure hard things, things God has designed for our ultimate good, to shape us into the people he wants us to be. When we choose to accept the "hard good," in faith we discover our life's purpose. Streaming video access code included. Access code subject to expiration after 12/31/2027.

Book Jesus Over Everything Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Download or read book Jesus Over Everything Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video written by Lisa Whittle and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Over Everything is a study guide experience with a simple truth that will change everything about your day-to-day: Your life will be less complicated if you put Jesus first. Period. Every reference in the Bible to a healthy spiritual life is dependent on putting God first. But there are a lot of things that can get in the way of that ultimate priority--from over-working to over-thinking. Many times, our lives get complicated before we know it. Most of us don't willfully choose this; we silently slide into it. In this six-week study (streaming included), Lisa Whittle helps you and your women's small group or Bible study build up defenses against damaging thought patterns and learn to reorder your priorities to consistently put Jesus back on top. Jesus Over Everything is a close look at the Jesus-first life and the better things it offers. Filled with biblical examples and practical guidance, the journey ahead will unpack eight choice statements that will encourage new daily lifestyle decisions: Real over pretty Love over judgement Holiness over freedom Service over spotlight Steady over hype Wisdom over knowledge Honesty over hiding Commitment over mood In the Gospels, when Jesus healed people, there was more going on than just the physical healing itself; there was a spiritual refocusing at work: with an acknowledgement of Christ and complete surrender to him comes a deep and lasting unburdening. Packed with practical application and tools to equip and motivate you, the Jesus-over-everything journey will help you reprioritize your faith first in order to reprioritize your daily life.

Book 3 16 Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video  Updated Edition

Download or read book 3 16 Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video Updated Edition written by Max Lucado and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Entirely rewritten and re-filmed for a more focused and deeply personal study of the most-loved verse in the Bible—John 3:16. In this updated classic Bible study (video streaming included), bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado pulls back the curtain on his favorite Bible passage to move you to a profound awareness of God's limitless love, His incalculable sacrifice, and the certainty of His offer of eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This passage is a twenty-six-word parade of hope. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment...and solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. With deeply personal accounts of the way this verse shaped Max's own faith journey, this study will reveal the gospel story surrounding the promise and unpack God's plan of restoration from the human problems of sin and death. If you know nothing about the Bible, the promise of John 3:16 is where to start. It's time to live as if you've been "born again", as if you've already been redeemed. It's time to live into the promise, to trust it—so much that this message of God's unending love overflows from you to the world.

The writer of Hebrews says that we are to "throw off everything that hinders" and run “the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1). We are called to action and empowered to struggle well. And yet, as we navigate life, we realize there are difficulties without and discouragements within. Not only do we feel ill equipped to thrive . . . we don’t even know how to survive.

He helps group members to likewise develop strategies that will enable them to: (1) overcome the deceptive strategies of sin aimed at their weaknesses; (2) orient their lives and loves around a God who cares for them, (3) recognize that under their misdirected affections and motivations is a deep longing for God, and (4) discover methods of overcoming personal shortcomings that do not rely on shame-based motivation.

Book Finding Peace through Humility Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Download or read book Finding Peace through Humility Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video written by Joel Muddamalle and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit” (Judges 17:6). In truth, the people had a King—the Lord—but they had rejected his authority over their lives. This led to them getting stuck in a cycle of faithlessness, judgment, remorse, deliverance . . . and then faithlessness again. The people lacked humility. If only they had recognized God as their King, they could have broken out of the cycle. In Finding Peace Through Humility, theologian Dr. Joel Muddamalle reveals how humility can likewise help us break out of our cycles of sin and experience the peace that God wants us to have. You will discover how to: walk through hurtful situations in God-honoring ways by gaining a true understanding of biblical humility; gain perspective to trust God when you go through hardships and heartaches; and face your fears and see the unlikely and unexpected places in which God is working in your life. Humility isn’t about being passive or a doormat. It’s about relying on God’s limitless resources and inviting more of his strength and peace into your life. This study guide, based on The Hidden Peace by Joel Muddamalle, includes: Individual access to six streaming video sessions A guide to best practices for leading a group Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions

This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the gift found in a life that doesn’t seek to be seen. In a world where excellence is equated to exposure, and legacy is equated to social media likes, what does it mean to embrace a hidden life? What does it look like to exchange: Performance culture for unconditional love? Visibility for inherent value? Earthly accolades for heavenly reward? Enslavement to people-pleasing for freedom in Christ? Hiding from life for being hidden in God? In Scripture, Jesus presents us an astoundingly countercultural way of existing—one without the pressure to perform or make a platform. The life Jesus offers us is focused on him. Simply and surely. Living a concealed life, whether known by many or by none, is about resetting our motivations and focus. In this study, we will learn from and relate our own stories to examples of multiple concealed characters in the Bible including the Sons of Korah, Cleopas, Huldah, the Daughters of Shallum, Pilate’s Wife, and Gideon. Join Allison Allen as she explores the power, purpose, and delight of hiddenness in Christ. This study guide includes: Biblical context and character history lessons Group discussion questions Individual access to six streaming video lessons from Allison Personal Bible study between sessions for reflection and application

Download or read book Unoffendable written by Brant Hansen and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unoffendable, now revised and updated with two new chapters, gives you a concrete, practical way to live life with less stress. In our easily offended, cancel-culture society, learn how to replace perpetual frustration and anger with refreshing humility and gratitude. It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet? In Unoffendable you will find concrete, practical ways to live life with less stress, including: Adjusting your expectations to fit human nature Replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude Embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways Newly revised with two brand-new chapters on forgiveness and what Hansen has learned since writing his original book, this updated edition of the bestselling book is a must-read for every Christian. In a humorous and conversational style, Unoffendable seeks to lift religious burdens from our backs and allow us to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every single day of our lives—flourishing the way God intended.

Book Relaxed Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Download or read book Relaxed Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video written by Megan Fate Marshman and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn spiritual growth practices for your daily life that remove your own anxious striving and center you on the One who was never worried about a thing. People describe Jesus in a lot of different ways, but have you ever thought of Him as relaxed? This doesn't mean that Jesus didn't grieve or become angry, but the Gospels portray Him as never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where He was, trusting and obeying His Father. Could the same be said of you? Are you relaxed? You can be. We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life's stresses, the world's discouragements, and our own striving for growth often get in the way. Join Bible teacher and spiritual formation leader Megan Fate Marshman for a seven-session Bible study (video access included) on exchanging self-reliance for the trusting and relaxed posture modeled to us by Jesus. This study guide includes: Individual access to seven streaming video teachings from Megan Engaging and evocative group discussion questions and activities In-depth personal Bible study between sessions A section to track your experience as you grow in new spiritual practices A series of spiritual formation practices for you to carry on well beyond the study Streaming video access code included.
