  God Of All Things

  $19.99

  Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.

  Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).

  In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.

  Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.

  Resilient Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)

  $21.99

  The human soul has a built-in yearning for joy and beauty and all good things. But that craving for life has taken a real beating in recent years. Between false promises of ease and comfort on one side and the sheer trauma of global disease and disasters on the other, people today are facing a shortage of peace, happiness and strength.

  In the Resilient video Bible study, bestselling author John Eldredge provides skills and tools to help participants strengthen their hearts and souls–and reveals a path toward genuine recovery and resilience provided by Jesus himself. Drawing on wisdom from scripture and Christian tradition, and illustrated throughout with powerful true stories of grit and survival, Resilient will help participants:

  *Recover from the trauma of recent world events and tap into the supernatural graces that God promises

  *Learn to be patient with themselves–genuine recovery from spiritual and emotional trauma takes time and intentionality

  *Create a plan–because resilience and victory aren’t going to come with a swipe on a home screen

  *Discover deep wells of freedom and strength through Christ, who lives within us

  Thriving requires a resilient soul. This study will help participants find the resilience they need when the world has gone mad–and discover in Jesus himself the strength that prevails.

  Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)

  $12.99

  In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores the life and character of Jesus, helping participants become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told. As Max explains in this study, for thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached.

  To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.

  But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.

  Jesus will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.
