  God For The Rest Of Us Pastors DVD Kit

  $19.99

  The Pharisees called Jesus “a friend of sinners.” He took it as a compliment. Would you? In these resources, Pastor Vince Antonucci and his unusual church that reaches out to people on the Las Vegas Strip explore a powerful question: what if God is not just for the faithful, church-going, or holier-than-thou types – what if God is for the rest of us? This small group study expands viewpoints, overcomes stereotypes, and models how to really love people like Jesus does. The Pastor’s Kit includes everything needed to plan a six-week teaching series around the concepts presented in the Small Group Study. It includes:
  Special video message for pastors
  Video guide for implementing a church-wide program
  Six sermon outlines
  Six short video clips to accompany each week’s sermon
  Six sermon bumpers (short video clips to introduce each week’s sermon)
  Digital art files to use in creation of bulletins and other promo materials

  Be Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)

  $13.99

  In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes:

  *I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
  *I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
  *I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.
  *I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors.
  *I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger.
  *I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others.
  *I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships.
  *I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others.

  Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 3 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

  Tactics 10th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)

  $22.99

  In a world indifferent or even opposed to Christian truth, followers of Christ must be better equipped to communicate the timeless of the Christian faith. But how do you have a conversation with someone who is intent on proving you wrong and won’t accept the Bible as a source of authority?

  In Tactics, Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to artfully regain control of conversations, keeping them moving forward in constructive ways through thoughtful diplomacy. You’ll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through the minefields of a challenging discussion, how to stop challengers in their tracks, and how to turn the tables on question or provocative statement. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to get people thinking about Jesus.

  Drawing on extensive experience defending Christianity in the public square, Koukl shows you how to:
  *Initiate conversations effortlessly
  *Present the truth clearly, cleverly, and persuasively
  *Graciously and effectively expose faulty thinking
  *Skillfully manage the details of dialogue
  *Maintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack

  Tactics provides the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace.

  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.
