Join Beth Moore on a Bible journey unlike any other. God intends for you to know and believe Him, glorify Him, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence. Breaking Free is Beth's life message that she wants to share with you. Taped live at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans in 2009, this study includes testimonies of how women like you have found freedom and have been delivered from personal captivity. And for the first time, this Bible study book is available with video access! This in-depth women's Bible study draws parallels between the captive Israelites of the Old Testament and New Testament believers in Jesus as the Promised Messiah. Beth Moore looks at the book of Isaiah through the lives of the kings who ruled during the prophet's ministry. These kings exemplify many of the obstacles to freedom with which we must deal. Using Scripture to help identify spiritual strongholds in your life, no matter how big or small, Beth explains that anything that hinders us from the benefits of knowing God is bondage. You'll be inspired to discover the transforming power of freedom in Christ. Features:   Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups Personal study segments to complete between 11 weeks of group sessions Teaching videos, approximately 60 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book 10 Scripture memory cards Benefits:   Discover the transforming power of freedom in Christ. Identify strongholds that keep you from knowing God. Be inspired to break the bonds of personal captivity with testimonies from women just like you. Video Sessions: Session 1: (55:56)--In this session Beth introduces the study and demonstrates from Scripture how God's people can be oppressed and in bondage. Then she shows God's purpose to shatter yokes and set His people free. Session 2: Untying the Cords of the Yoke(58:37)--Beth shows how Isaiah powerfully connects the suffering of Jesus to freedom from bondage for His people. Session 3: That You May Know(55:01)--Beth leads students to identify the equations that lead to bondage and the formula that leads to freedom. Session 4: Removing the Obstacles(58:50)--Beth discusses how God has reserved momentous victories and great rewards for us. But we'll never make it to our milestones if we can't make it through our moments. Session 5: Rebuilding the Ancient Ruins (60:00)--Beth shows us the way to the courage to believe we can be different. Session 6: Binding Up the Brokenhearted(59:45)--Beth shares that to be free we must allow Christ to fill up all our empty places. Session 7: Beauty from Ashes (59:59)--Beth discusses how God never allows or appoints a fire in our lives unless He can bring beauty from the ashes. The purpose of God's refining work in our lives is to make us objects of beauty. Session 8: The Potter and the Clay(58:00)--Beth discusses how we do not find freedom by casting off a yoke but by trading a yoke of slavery for a yoke of liberty.

True then. True today. Daniel and his friends lived in a world hostile to their faith--just like the one we live in today. With every step, they were pushed to compromise and turn their backs on God. But they knew that the way to make a difference is found in the commitment to be different. Just like them, God is calling us to be faithful, even if it means facing lions' dens and fiery furnaces.

Interruptions. They're aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla Shirer redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. Features:   Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups Personal study segments to complete between 7 weeks of group sessions Enriching teaching videos, approximately 7-47 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book Benefits:   Redefine interruption as God's invitation to do something new in your life. Hand over your aspirations to God. Learn to hold on to your own plans loosely in case God calls you elsewhere. Video Sessions: Session 1: (41:46)--Like Jonah, we too have an interrupted life. When we see God's action as divine intervention rather than life interruption, we begin to experience the significant life God has for us. Session 2: (47:58)--Priscilla shows how the interrupted life is also a challenging life. If God has called you to it, He will equip you for it and give you the strength to handle the challenge. Session 3: (32:19)--In this session we find Jonah sitting in the belly of the fish calling out to God. Priscilla reminds us that divine interruptions have a way of shaking us, but God desires to respond to us in our time of need. Session 4: (34:33)--After Jonah has been released from the belly of the fish, the Lord speaks to the prophet again. Priscilla reminds us we serve the God who gives us second chances. Session 5: (42:02)--Jonah finally responds in obedience to go and preach God's message to the Ninevites. Like Jonah, you will find God's divine anointing and see supernatural results when you respond to His movement. Session 6: (36:49)--In this session we see Jonah become angry with God because of the grace He offers the Ninevites. Priscilla unpacks how God is gracious and has your best interests in mind even in frustrating and upsetting circumstances. Session 7: (7:07)--In this short session Priscilla concludes the study of Jonah with some questions and discussion about what we do as a result of the truth we have heard.

Discover the secret to love that lasts with The Five Love Languages Bible Study Book with Video Access. This study designed for small groups combines Gary Chapman's classic teaching on the five love languages with engaging Bible study, practical questions, and personal exercises to help you and your spouse walk together through a discovery of each of the five love languages--words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. As you learn how best to show and receive love in your marriage, you'll be encouraged through 7 teaching videos featuring Dr. Gary Chapman and filmed before a live audience in 2007. In the videos, Dr. Chapman helps you identify your personal love language. He also helps you understand the love language of your spouse. He then provides practical suggestions for enriching your marriage by practicing the other love languages. Features:   7 weeks of study for couples and groups Leader helps, including question guides and prompts for small group discussion Interactive love language profile 7 teaching videos, approximately 15-35 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book for individual streaming access Benefits:   Equip couples to learn to speak the language of love. Discover each of the five love languages as you learn how to best express love for your spouse. Grow spiritually as you dig deeper into Scripture and expand your understanding of God's design for love in marriage. Develop and implement practical, purposeful marriage strategies. Video Sessions: Session 1: Learning to Speak Love (34:48)--People speak different love languages, and seldom do a husband and wife have the same primary emotional love language. You must be willing to learn your spouse's primary love language if you are to be an effective communicator of love. This session covers a brief overview of the five love languages, takes the five love languages profile, and discovers how to use the profile. Session 2: Words of Affirmation (14:47)--Verbal compliments are powerful communicators of love. Learn how to speak words of affirmation, encouragement, kindness, and humbleness to the person whose love language is words of affirmation. Session 3: Quality Time (18:54)--Quality time means giving someone your undivided attention, and a central aspect of quality time is togetherness. Spending time together in a common pursuit communicates that you and your spouse care about each other, enjoy being with each other, and that you like to do things together. Session 4: Receiving Gifts (18:24)--Gifts are visual symbols of love. To the person whose primary love language is receiving gifts, the cost of the gift will matter little. The worth of the gift has little to do with monetary value and everything to do with love. Session 5: Acts of Service (12:10)--Doing simple chores around the house can be an undeniable expression of love. It requires thought, planning, time, effort, and energy. If done with an positive spirit, they are indeed expressions of love. Session 6: Physical Touch (18:18)--Physical touch is a powerful vehicle for communicating marital love, and for some individuals, physical touch is their primary love language. Without it, they feel unloved. With it, their emotional tank is filled, and they feel secure in the love of their spouse. Session 7: Growing in Love (36:24)--We've been led to believe that if we are really in love, it will last forever. But true love cannot begin until the in love experience has run its course. If we learn to meet each other's deep, emotional need to feel loved and choose to do so, then the love we share will be exciting beyond anything we ever felt when we were infatuated.

We long for home. Home should be a place of love and laughter. Shared meals. Special moments. A place of comfort, rest, and safety. Yet the homes we make always seem to fall short of satisfying our longing. They're imperfect, transitory, and prone to fracture. People leave them. Intruders enter them. Crises shake them. Too often, instead of peace and security, home is a place of brokenness and pain. These failings of our earthly homes expose in us a longing for a better one. The good news is that there is a remedy for our homesickness. In this 7-session study, Caroline Saunders follows the theme of home through the Bible. From humanity's first home to our eternal one, we'll see God drawing near to abide with us. We'll find that even the best aspects of home here are just a glimmer of what God is building for us through Christ. This study will affirm that our longing for home is good and purposeful, pointing us to our truest home which is found in Him. Features: 7 video teaching sessions discussing truths found throughout the study, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book 6 weeks of personal study to be completed between the 7 group sessions Benefits:   Unpack the theme of home found throughout Scripture. Identify your spiritual homesickness and be equipped to process your longing for home through God's story. Understand how God's promise of a true, forever home is better than any home we have experienced. Find freedom from the pressure of maintaining the image of a perfect home.

Experience the Christmas season anew this year with this 5-session study on Advent, why we celebrate it, and how it fuels our worship of Jesus.

When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was "undone" by his sinfulness in view of God's holiness. His response was a cry of despair and a recognition that he shouldn't even be alive in the presence of such perfection. But then a weird and beautiful thing happened--a terror-inducing angel, through the smoke and shaking and grandeur, touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven. Isaiah's response? HERE I AM. SEND ME. I DON'T CARE WHERE. I'M YOURS! I'LL DO WHATEVER! He moved from death to life. From undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord. That's the Christian life. We were as good as dead, and the forgiveness of our good God gave us new life, new purpose, new confidence. Unfortunately, a lot of people never experience undoneness. Countless women and men move through life convincing themselves they are the source of grandeur and hope. This Bible study will help people see the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. But we can't get stuck in the undone place. Sometimes we catch a glimpse of the train of God's robe and the depth of our sin, and we are crushed by how ridiculously we fall short; we never move on to the hopeful humility that flows from God's forgiveness. This Bible study will help girls move beyond the shame of their sin to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a lifestyle of repentance and a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light, confessing and repenting and renouncing our shame, because Jesus experienced shame in our place. This Bible study will be topical, group-focused, story-enhanced, humorous, and gospel-centered. The focus of the study will be what God's Word says about shame and how living in light of Jesus's sacrifice can free us from shame and lead us into the joy of our salvation.

Could it happen again? Look around. Our world is divided in almost every way imaginable--religion, politics, race, views on sexuality, and much, much more. On the surface, it might not seem like the time is right for a movement of God. On the contrary, now is the perfect time for revival. Not the emotional, momentary, feel-good type that comes and goes, but a revival that changes hearts. When God changes hearts, churches change. And changed churches change cities, which change nations, which change the world. When the world has seemed to be at its darkest, the Spirit of God has moved in a way that only He could. Can He do it again? Yes, He can. We just need to prepare our hearts to be ready when He does.

Many Christians love to talk about politics, but the current conversation is often full of contentious words that divide our churches and families.

Freedom is something everyone wants but few truly experience. It's also understood differently by various people and cultures. But what does the Bible mean when it says that we're free? After all, it is "for freedom" that Christ set us free. The kind of freedom that Jesus offers is not the absence of constraint, or license, or personal autonomy. It's a deeper and more liberating freedom. It's the freedom from the slavery of sin, shame, and the law. It's the power that unites us to Christ and allows us to serve others in love. It's the settled confidence that comes from knowing we are adopted children of the King of the universe. It's what all the world wants that Jesus promised and is giving us daily in the gospel.

How can we keep our balance in such a disorienting world? Through this 8-session Bible study, Hannah Anderson invites us to consider the wisdom of Ecclesiastes afresh as we search for a solid foundation for life under the sun.

Students will learn to Discover God's Word, Delight in the Lord, and Display God's work in their lives. Discover (Identity + Theology): Who is God? Who am I in light of who God is? These are two of the most important questions students can grapple with because in discovering who God is, they learn who He has meant for them to be. Studies within the Discover category will help students align their lives under God's rule which will give them confidence in who they were created to be. Delight (Spiritual Disciplines): What does it mean to delight in God? What leads to delight in God? Helping students see God in every detail teaches them to delight in Him. When students find their delight in God, they will learn what it means and how to be in relationship with Him. Display (Leadership, Mission, + Disciple Making): How do students display the glory of God? How do they help others grow in their relationship with Him? How can they lead others to display the truth of God? Through students learning to lead, live on mission, and make disciples, God's glory is on display and His kingdom is expanded. Each book includes 30 daily devotions, applicable Scripture, prayer prompts, and practical application.
