This is a delightful short study examining Paul's letter to the Philippians. It encompasses deep truths about salvation and eternity and teaches how we can be people whose lives are marked by joy.

Ephesians is perhaps the deepest of all of Paul's epistles. This five-lesson study plumbs those depths. We examine the incredible riches of Christ available to every believer and explore what our lives might look like as we begin to live out of these riches.

This 8 lesson study deals head-on with the thorny problems and questions that surfaced in the early church at Corinth. These issues are strikingly contemporary to our society: problems with factions and divisions, questions about marriage and celibacy, principles for dealing with areas where the Scripture is silent, and understanding the importance of the resurrection. For the final lesson, we cease wrestling with the dilemmas the Corinthians faced and gaze on the majesty of the One who called them into His marvelous light, by focusing on passages about the Lord Jesus Christ as presented in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.

As we walk through these lessons we will get to know Jesus through the eyes of Matthew. Matthew's life was transformed when he met Jesus and later he was able to record many of his observations and insights, so that we too can be transformed. Only in Matthew do we learn what motivated Jesus to leave the glories of heaven --- to seek and save that which is lost. Only in Matthew do we hear Jesus describe Himself, " I am lowly and humble of heart." Matthew alone gives us the astounding claim that Jesus made, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." Through this study we see the escalating frustration of Christ with religion that is not rooted in relationship with the Father. We also view His incredible capacity for compassion and willingness to heal and restore. Matthew, more than any other Gospel writer understood the Old Testament scriptures and explains their fulfillment in the life and death of Christ. The study of the Gospel of Matthew will give you the foundation for knowing the Lord Jesus better.

This eight-week study is the perfect preparation for celebrating Christmas. We delve into the distant past, examining the many prophecies that were given over thousands of years that set the stage for the Messiah. We closely consider John the Baptist, the forerunner who prepared the way for the Promised One. Finally, we take a close look at the amazing circumstances surrounding the birth of the Lord Jesus, remembering that though He humbled Himself by being born as a man, He is no less than God Himself. This study will guarantee that you celebrate Christmas on a whole new level.

This study focuses on the character qualities of the woman depicted in Proverbs 31. We also examine snapshots of over twenty different women in the Bible - the good girls and the bad girls - who either exemplify these qualities or noticeably lack them. Their mistakes and triumphs will teach us how to walk in the path of the Proverbs 31 woman.

Lectio Divina offers a structure for meditating on the Bible. It is an unhurried approach. Participants savor a few verses at a time. God's Word permeates your spirit. God relates to you as you wait on Him. The end result of this exercise is not more knowledge or information but communion with God through His living Word. Lectio Divina is an ancient way of reading a passage in the Bible several times. It can be practiced alone or with a group. It includes four readings of the same passage, with an emphasis on listening, meditation, responding and contemplation.

James, Just Do It has so much immediate take-home value. It is a fast-paced study consisting of five lessons that encourage us to put our faith into action. James will challenge you not just to believe God's Word, but to prove you believe by how you live.

Revelation is unlike any other book of the Bible. Nowhere else in Scripture are the majesty and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and his future plans for the earth revealed so clearly. Many Old Testament prophets including Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and especially Daniel, give us prophetic insight into these themes. Jesus taught his disciples about them, Peter and Paul expanded upon them, but John had the great privilege of writing this final book of the Bible, which culminates in the events of the end of the age.
