Wine In The Word Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video
$21.99
Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren’t we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn’t have anything to do with that. Doesn’t the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?
Does it surprise you that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went.
Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil’s tool of temptation. And we’ve all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.
In this six-session video Bible study, scholar and author Gisela H. Kreglinger and pastor and author Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy, and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God’s earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things.

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99In 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).
