Seeking Truth Devotion Vs Spirituality
$13.95Add to cartFrom the desk of author Denise D. Snow:
While I was preparing this guide, my thoughts were that I wanted people’s eyes to be opened to the things of God. “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saidth the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11). In my 42 years on this earth, I have experienced tremendous bondage. However, through it all I’ve never lost my faith! As a child, I grew up being sent to church not brought! God has always been my source of comfort, when times got hard because I have known Him from my youth.
I want people to understand that their struggles are not personal but spiritual. Therefore, it is important to seek first the kingdom of God and his voice so that you have the ability to overcome any struggle. Jesus responded one way to Satan’s temptations in the wilderness with the Word of God (Matthew4:1-10)
.
Where is the manual on how to live life? Too often we put our trust and beliefs in the educational, financial, and church systems of this world, but what happens when these systems fail us? The Bible is full of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding on how to overcome life’s challenges.
Are you having a hard time reading and understanding the Bible? Seeking Truth is an easy way to study the Word of God. By using this user-friendly guide, you will obtain a better understanding of the Word of God.

Leader’s GuideAdditional Info
Confusion reigns over the topic of prayer. Yet, at one time or another just about everyone prays-but often it’s like shooting in the dark. Wonderfully, the Bible-and Jesus especially-shows us what real prayer is: talking to the real, living God with humble confidence.If we look at what the Christian message tells us about “connecting” with God, we’ll see how and why we can talk to God knowing that he will listen and respond. Forget formulas and techniques. This is about real communication with the real God-the unique Christian privilege of real prayer.

Joshua Judges And Ruth
$12.99Add to cartIt took more than forty years of wandering, but finally the nation of Israel was ready to enter the land that God had promised to them. However, they knew that arriving at the borders was just the beginning, for many battles and many foes still lay ahead of them. Yet, as Joshua reminded them, they also knew that the Lord had promised to fight all their battles and defeat their foes-through His power, and not their own.
In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at the Israelites’ conquest of the Promised Land, beginning with the miraculous parting of the Jordan River, continuing through the victories and setbacks as the people settled into Canaan, and concluding with the times of the judges. Studies include close-up examinations of Rahab, Ruth, and Samson, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as “The Sin of Achan” and the role of “The Kinsman Redeemer.”
The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

When You Want To Yell At God
$12.99Add to cart“Experience the book of Job through a different set of eyes. In When You Want to Yell at God, Craig Bartholomew asks us to let go of the Job we think we know so we can get to know the real man. Job’s story refutes the idea that what goes around comes around. Suffering is not always the result of wrong behavior, and right behavior does not always guarantee blessing. But God is always faithful. Looking at Job as the height of biblical poetry, Bartholomew helps us see just how beautiful and touching this man’s struggle with God really is. In the Transformative Word Series, you’ll read the Bible with a global cast of church leaders and scholars. Contributors from around the world write in their native language, and their volumes are then translated and published in multiple languages. In conversational tone, each author explains the importance of a biblical book, showing how it can transform your life.”

Living A Purposeful Life
$9.99Add to cartWhen it comes to God’s will for our lives, there are certain things we can know for sure. We know it is God’s will for us to love Him body, soul, mind, and heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. But what about the things we don’t know for sure? The Bible doesn’t tell us which car to buy or how many children we should have and at what age. This freedom can feel threatening at times, but Jesus doesn’t want us to live in fear. He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). In this study readers will learn how Jesus talked about life and not being ruled by fear we might make a wrong choice, how following God is a great adventure, and how Jesus is always with us to guide us along the way as we seek to follow God’s will.

Worshiping God With Our Lives
$14.99Add to cartWhen some people think of “a life of worship,” they think of the fifteen minutes or two hours, depending on their denomination, that they spend on their feet on a Sunday morning in church. They may think of the CDs they play in the house as they attack the daily chores. Yet while those certainly represent an act worship, they don’t represent a life of worship. In this study readers will discover how Jesus lived every moment of every day with a “yes” in His spirit to his Father. They will see how His declared intent was solely to do the will of His Father, how He worshipped as He healed the blind and the lame, and even how He worshipped in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prayed that the cup of the wrath of God might pass from Him. They will be encouraged to live a similar life of worship to their heavenly Father.

Experiencing Contagious Joy
$9.99Add to cartJoy has a way of working its way from the inside out. When our lives are filled with joy, the symptoms are unmistakable. A twinkle in the eye. A ready smile. A skip in the step. A song in the heart. Joy lends a glow to the face and a lilt to the voice. Joy is contagious. It is also the birthright of every believer, but rainy days have a way of distracting us from that fact. In this study, readers will take a careful look at this uniquely Christian characteristic and discover they have every reason to be joyful. They will see that joy is their strength and their song and provides a solid foundation in their hearts.

So many Christians feel nervous, guilty or awkward when they think about sharing their faith with friends and family.It doesn’t have to be this way. You-whoever you are-can be empowered for evangelism that is faithful, compelling and relational. Empowered will leave ordinary Christians not only wanting to share their faith, but knowing how to talk about Jesus in their normal lives and everyday conversations.
Becky Pippert and her husband Dick have spent the past 13 years doing evangelism training in churches and at conferences on almost every continent. Empowered is the fruit of all these years of working right around the world, of motivating and equipping ordinary Christians to share their faith with those around them. Easy to run and combining Bible-study, talks and discussions, this course is flexible enough to be over seven weeks or on a day or weekend away.
In the introduction Becky writes:
“Never has there been a greater need to share Christ with the world (starting with our own neighbors)-yet never have believers seemed more ill equipped. It is imperative that we know how to effectively communicate the gospel. We need to get beyond one-size-fits-all techniques. We need to learn to communicate the truth in a way that is also loving. Yet we need to remember, even as we seek to show Christ’s compassionate love, still to share Christ’s gospel truth.”Each session of Empowered opens with a short introduction from Becky before moving to an interactive group Bible study grounded in God’s word. This is followed by a short talk by Becky on the DVD. Becky’s warm, personable style blends timeless biblical truth with tried and tested techniques-as well as plenty of funny and encouraging real life stories. After the talk there’s time to work through the practical implications in discussion groups, before turning to prayer.

Philippians : Christ The Source Of Joy And Strength
$12.99Add to cartThe people in the city of Philippi who received this letter from their friend, Paul, were suffering from two of Christianity’s greatest adversaries: self-sufficiency and complacency. While writing this letter from a Roman prison cell, Paul was able to provide a unique perspective on these enemies of our faith. Even as he faced horrific trials, Paul continued to encourage his brothers and sisters by declaring that his imprisonment was reason for joy.
This letter also includes Paul’s concerns for the church regarding spiritual and practical matters, such as unity and false teachers. He urges the believers to maintain their spiritual commitment and integrity as well as to continue to grow in Christ.

2 Corinthians : Words From A Caring Shepherd
$12.99Add to cartAfter spending eighteen months in Corinth helping to establish a church, the apostle Paul moved on in his mission to build more churches in Asia Minor. But back in Corinth, false teachers began to infiltrate the church, and they were intent on ruining Paul’s character and ministry. This threatened to separate and create chaos among this once-unified body.
Paul wrote this intensely personal and biographical letter to defend his ministry and integrity against the slanderous attacks. Like a seasoned attorney, he deals firmly with the false teachers and their followers by focusing primarily on Christ, while embracing his own weaknesses and imperfections. As a powerful reminder for struggling and maligned believers everywhere, Paul quotes the Savior: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Exodus And Numbers
$12.99Add to cartAlthough the descendants of Jacob moved to Egypt as honored guests, in time they became despised slaves groaning under the mistreatment of Pharaoh.

1 Corinthians : Godly Solutions For Church Problems
$12.99Add to cartAs the gospel spreads to the far corners of the earth, the apostle Paul is under mounting pressure to provide doctrinal direction to maturing churches before they go astray. The Corinthian church in particular refused to separate themselves from their old, pagan ways, and their worldliness was affecting the church’s priority of spreading the gospel. As a result, Paul writes 1 Corinthians, a corrective letter to the church in Corinth, that gives Christians black-and-white boundaries in a gray world. As he explains doctrinal truths directly relating to sin and righteousness, he outlines a foundation for godly behavior. Paul’s letter is a valuable tool of correction and encouragement for believers-then and now-to be alert, firm, mature, strong, and loving. The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

Thinking About The Bible (Student/Study Guide)
$14.00Add to cart“What this book does aim to do is to encourage the asking of questions, knowing that it is not possible to obtain all the answers, allowing for an encounter with God in the spaces in between. . . . It is an approach modeled by the Wisdom tradition of the Old Testament, present in the New Testament, and which involves the continuing search for meaning in life. This search involves living and learning together despite our differences. . . it is the negotiating of those differences that so often makes the Bible seem remote and flat, when what we have in the Bible is a vibrant and varied collection of books that leave plenty of room for disagreement and debate. To encounter the Bible is to stand on holy ground, and any debate about it has something to do with God whether we acknowledge that or not.”
With humor and examples drawn from art and life, Helen-Ann Hartley argues that to appreciate fully the Bible’s richness and diversity, we have to wrestle critically and creatively with themes that attract us and repel us.

Colossians And Philemon
$12.99Add to cart“Jesus is the only way” can be an unpopular stand for Christians to take in our contemporary culture. But dangerous false teachings against Jesus Christ are not new. The Colossian church dealt with these same threats. When Paul learned about this danger, he wrote the church a message of warning. Colossians is full of dramatic and powerful passages coupled with rich instructions that defend Christ’s deity and His sufficiency to reconcile men to God. Paul’s message is a reminder that believers-then and now-are complete in Christ.
Paul also wrote a personal letter to Philemon, a prominent member of the Colossian church. This letter urges Philemon to forgive a former slave and thief and welcome him back as a brother in Christ. Through this real life situation, Paul teaches Philemon, as well as believers today, the importance of forgiveness.

Ephesians : Our Immeasurable Blessings In Christ
$14.99Add to cartThough attempting to live a transformed life by the power of the Holy Spirit, the church in Ephesus was immersed in an evil culture and surrounded by sin and pagan ways. Discouraged believers needed a reminder of God’s grace and love, of the blessings they had in Jesus Christ, and of their commitment to holiness.
Written by the apostle Paul as a letter of encouragement and admonition, Ephesians gives a refresher course in New Testament doctrine and provides a practical blueprint for Christian behavior. Through this letter, Paul shows us our continual need for God’s help and demonstrates that everything good we enjoy is an expression of His great love.

Galatians : The Wondrous Grace Of God
$12.99Add to cartAn urgent letter to the early churches in Asia Minor, Galatians expresses Paul’s concern for the spiritual welfare of the early believers. The central doctrine of Christianity was being undermined and confusion was growing as false teachers began to teach that faith in Christ was not enough for salvation.
In an earnest attempt to salvage the truth and integrity of the gospel, Paul penned Galatians-a book that would encourage hundreds of generations of Christians to remain steadfast in their faith. While contrasting grace and law, faith and works, Paul defends the theological and practical implications of Christianity and encourages believers-then and now-to live a holy life that bears much fruit.

Creation : The Apple Of Gods Eye
$15.99Add to cartHow and why God loves us-God’s good creation This book will talk about the doctrine of creation and invite us to look closely at who God is and who we are in relationship with God. As people of faith, we believe that our gracious God created all there is, but does that also mean that God also created evil? How does creation jive with what scientists are telling us about the origin of the universe? What does the doctrine of creation tell us about what we call “the creation,” that is, the world, its value, purpose, etc? How does understanding the world as God’s creation teach us about our role in creation care? The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and earth, but does that deny the science of the Big Bang? What does believing that God is the Creator say about how God loves, redeems, and sustains us today or does creation say something only about the past? What about the “new creation”? Does this have anything to do with the old creation? Does it mean simply that God is so tired of the rebelliousness of creation that it seems best to erase the present one and start anew? Or is there a connection between the two? What does the doctrine of creation say about us? Aren’t we created in God’s image and aren’t we part of the good creation of a loving God? If so, why is there evil and rebelliousness in us? Where does our ill-will, our desire to do evil, come from? Is there freedom of the will or are all things preordained by God? Just how detailed is God’s plan for us? While no one author can deal with all these questions, this book will help us begin the conversation and gain new understanding of how the doctrine of creation can help us address these very human and timeless questions.
