Mountains : Rediscovering Your Vision And Restoring Your Hope In Gods Prese

These studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture-each following a person, place, or thing in the Bible.

The Storyline Bible studies help you put the pieces back together. You’ll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate the Bible as the masterpiece that it is.

Elijah Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$28.31

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated, highlight moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho.

And Elijah-calling down fire on Mount Carmel.

Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory-months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

This 7-session Bible study, on one of the premier ancient prophets, is your invitation to surrender to that process.

Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

Join author and Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer on a journey through the life and times of Elijah. Discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

Sinners : Experiencing Jesus’?? Compassion In The Middle Of Your Sin, Strug
$16.99

Discover the storyline of Scripture as you follow people, places, or things in the Bible. Maybe you are practiced in dissecting a passage and pulling things out of the text to apply to your life. But now you may feel as though your faith is fragmented. The Storyline Bible Studies help you put the pieces back together. You’ll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate the Bible as the literary masterpiece that it is.

In Sinners, we will discover God’s tender compassion on anyone regardless of their social status, troubled past, or the labels placed upon them. And we are going to notice the counterintuitive ways “sinful” people respond to Jesus in righteous acts of faith. You’ll start to see a theme unfold: The people considered sinful often act with greater faith than the most religious people of Jesus’ day. In the Sinners Bible study, we will explore:

*Luke 7: the sinful woman who anointed Jesus with the perfume from her alabaster jar and whose faith saved her;

*Luke 7: the Roman centurion who advocated for his sick servant and whose faith saved the servant’s life;

*Matthew 9: the former tax collector and disciple named Matthew who had left his tollbooth to follow Jesus and whose faith confused the religious;

*Matthew 15: the Canaanite mom who begged Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter and whose faith led to her daughter’s healing; and

*John 4: the Samaritan woman at the well who was approached by Jesus and whose faith started revival in her town.

Sabina Participants Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99

As a young couple, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand lived as atheists and hedonists, pursuing every pleasure afforded them and thinking little of God. But God had other plans, calling them to repentance, great suffering, and a life of faithful service. The Wurmbrand’s obedience, along with the testimonies of seven women who, like Sabina, remained obedient to Christ at great cost, will inspire group-study participants to evaluate their own faithfulness and obedience to Christ. This six-session, video-based group study features scenes from the film Sabina: Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years. As biblical disciples, we are called to walk in obedience to Christ, offering ourselves as living sacrifices in the pursuit of God’s glory and eternal purposes at any cost. The question each of us must answer daily is, “Am I being obedient in what I know Christ has commanded?”

Serve Your City
$17.99

An ARC Resources Title

Through the pages of the Gospels, we see Jesus model a “show and tell” life and ministry to His followers- He “showed” them how to serve by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and caring for the poor-and while He was demonstrating compassion, He taught them, “telling” them of God’s immense love. This is the way to show God’s heart of compassion for the people in our cities and towns, and this is the way to break down barriers so people will listen to the life-changing message of the gospel of grace. In this book, you’ll sense Dino’s heart, be inspired by his stories and learn from his experiences, as well as many ARC churches that are serving their cities with a Jesus-style no-strings-attached kind of love. This is at the core of who ARC is – a deep passion to see churches thrive as part of the cities they serve.

Heaven And Earth (Student/Study Guide)

Watch out. God is on the way.

It’s not within our own power to make a fresh start. If we’re to have a future different from the past, it must come as a gift, something not of our devising. What we need is a God who refuses to be trapped in eternity, a God who not only cares about us but is willing to show up among us and do something with us, here, now.

In Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation, Will Willimon introduces you to the God who does just that, bringing heaven to earth and changing everything. In Advent we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way.

Additional components to use the book as a four-week small group study include a leader guide and DVD/Video Sessions featuring Will Willimon.

Live Free Bible Study Book With Video Access
$36.65

We long for peace, to have lives marked by freedom from difficulty and pain. We look to countless places to fill this need-our possessions, relationships, intellect, spirituality, political affiliations, and so on. But, by relying on these things for freedom, we unintentionally make them our savior instead of Christ. This exchange leaves us enslaved to a false gospel and to the very things we hoped would set us free.

In this 8-session study on the book of Galatians, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson reveals that the struggle to fully embrace our freedom in Christ is not a new problem. Walking verse-by-verse through Paul’s letter, Elizabeth highlights how this letter teaches us that in the gospel alone do we gain what we desire-freedom from sin and freedom to experience true peace, living the abundant life Jesus offers.

Features:?

*7 weeks of personal study to be completed between 8 group sessions

*8 videos, approximately 30 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book

*Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups

*Charts, maps, and bonus content to enhance your experience
