Emmaus Road
$12.49
The center and climax of the gospel story is Jesus Christ, crucified and raised again. The presence of Jesus in any setting brings judgment and blessing to others present whether Pilate, Roman soldiers,Mary or distraught disciples. In four episodes Val and Hollis Gause tell four essential stories of Christ’s presence. PILATE: Is he pawn or king? The one who is judging or the one who is being judged? It depends on whom you ask. THE ROMAN CENTURION: Is he executioner or believer? It depends on when you ask. MARY: Is she mother of the Messiah or mother of an insurgent Galilean preacher-zealot? It depends on Gabriel’s announcement. THE EMMAUS DISCIPLES: Are they disillusioned defectors or witnesses of the resurrection? It depends on the “breaking of bread.” In these four episodes the authors make us witnesses of the judgment and the blessing of Jesus, both then and now. THE CRUCIFIXION STORY HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD LIKE THIS!

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartIn 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.
Designed for use with the Jesus Video Study (sold separately).
