Bible Simplified Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99A simple guide to understanding the Bible
Let’s be honest. The Bible is complex. It’s intricate. It can be daunting. The first half is confusing, aside from the stories you might have learned in Sunday school . . . which are far more disturbing today than when you read them as a kid. Then Jesus appears, and while it’s amazing to read about his birth, and teachings, and wisdom, and miracles, it can cause you to wonder why he had to die for you. The final pages of the Bible are even more perplexing. Suddenly, you’re reading about visions, and beasts, and the very end of the world.
Perhaps this is why many of us find it easier to go to church and just listen to the pastor preach a sermon on the “good book” rather than tackle it ourselves. But if we do this, we miss out on so much. God has given us the Bible as a how-to guide for making the most out of life. The Bible should be our lifeline. We need to study it as much as we need to breathe!
This is where The Bible, Simplified can help. Over the course of eight weeks, bestselling author Zach Windahl will show you how all the stories in the Bible tell an interwoven story of God using people to bring his kingdom to the world. You will dig into historical context, learn about the different genres in the Bible (and why they are important), and discover proven methods of studying the Bible that will help you not only better understand what it means but also how it can transform your life and deepen your relationship with Christ.
God is calling you today to follow him. And he wants to speak to you through the Bible!

*A guide to best practices for leading a group

Esther Bible Study Book With Video Access
$22.99A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary-the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. The story unfolds at a time when the people of God are split between nations with an uncertain future. While the name of God may not be mentioned in the book of Esther, its pages highlight His work among His people and foreshadow Jesus’s very ministry to us-darkness to light, mourning to celebration, death to life.
In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai-a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.

Through the accounts of this book, we see God’s faithfulness to His people everywhere and at all times.
*Session Two: Welcome to the Empire (35:03)-Teaching through Esther 1, Kelly describes the oppressive life in the Persian empire and draws modern parallels to the spirit of empire in our world today. The realities of life in our broken world stir in us a longing for God’s kingdom, for the humble and kind nature of King Jesus.

To truly know our worth, we must first understand that Jesus is the only One who can make us worthy. Nothing we can do on our own will ever measure up. We don’t have to earn Jesus’s love to know that He loves us. In fact, because He is the One who has made us worthy, we can live boldly as an example of what true worth looks like.

Relaxed Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Learn spiritual growth practices for your daily life that remove your own anxious striving and center you on the One who was never worried about a thing.
People describe Jesus in a lot of different ways, but have you ever thought of Him as relaxed? This doesn’t mean that Jesus didn’t grieve or become angry, but the Gospels portray Him as never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where He was, trusting and obeying His Father.
Could the same be said of you? Are you relaxed? You can be. We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life’s stresses, the world’s discouragements, and our own striving for growth often get in the way.
Join Bible teacher and spiritual formation leader Megan Fate Marshman for a seven-session Bible study (video access included) on exchanging self-reliance for the trusting and relaxed posture modeled to us by Jesus.
This study guide includes:
*Individual access to seven streaming video teachings from Megan

Revelation Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible-the culmination of God’s great story-speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.
Features
*Verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation
*10 video teaching sessions unpacking truths found throughout the study and offering additional insights, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
*9 weeks of personal study featuring illuminating questions to help you focus on and understand Scripture

Jonah Storyteller Bible Study Book
$16.99Jonah is an epic tale involving a man on a mission, three days and nights in the belly of a great fish, and a city experiencing unexpected renewal.
It is short and sweet. But the man on a mission we meet in chapter 1-who is saved from a fish in chapter 2 and boldly calls a violent city to turn from its ways and follow the living God-ends the story pouting under a tree.
It’s an odd conclusion. But as we zoom in on the story, we see that Jonah shows us a seeking God whose relentless pursuit of us is at the heart of who He is. God isn’t just for “those people out there.” He’s for all of us.

Job Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Job is a book of the Bible that many pick up to ask and answer big existential questions-Why does God allow suffering?Is there any purpose in life?If God is good, why do bad things happen?
While the book touches on those questions, it doesn’t answer them with clean memorable statements that we’re eager to quote or apply to our own suffering. In fact, Job gives us something better than answers; it gives us God.
The book of Job isn’t a how-to manual for navigating tough times, rather it’s a book that leads us to the very feet of the God who holds the universe in His hands and sustains us in our suffering.

Acts Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99The book commonly known as “Acts” is short for “Acts of the Apostles” because it prominently features Jesus’s called, gifted, and set apart messengers to expand His church. But this title is misleading.
The main character of Acts is not the Apostles but the Holy Spirit. Behind and beyond all the work the Apostles do is the third person of the Trinity, God the Spirit empowering their work and causing it to flourish.
As we read through the first 12 chapters of Acts, we join with them and with the Spirit, discovering the Spirit-empowered works they performed and entering the story with them-a story that is still in process today.

Gospel Of John Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99Life. It seems to move at a break-neck pace. Days are filled with noise, screens, and appointments. Sometimes worry and fear are constant companions. The chaos can leave you looking for a place to be still, but that resting spot always seems to be an elusive destination. Jesus offers a different kind of life. He offers peace. He is peace.
In this 7-session study on the Gospel of John, Melissa Spoelstra will encourage you to slow down and linger with the living Word. You’ll appreciate the pace of the Savior who never hurried but completed all that the Father called Him to accomplish. As you turn the pages of John’s Gospel, you’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner-understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances, but a stillness of the soul. As a result, you’ll grow in intimacy with Him and learn to live, serve, and rest in His peace.
Video Sessions:
*Session One: Introduction (23:01)-Melissa begins the video teaching on the Gospel of John by setting the context for the study. She shares about who John was writing to and his purpose for writing the Gospel. She also gives an overview of the six remaining video sessions, noting the themes and memory verses.
*Session Two: Peace in the Plan of Jesus (25:59)-The video teaching for Session 2 centers on savoring peace in the plan of Jesus. Melissa focuses on John 1-3 to show us how God was the orchestrator of the salvation plan set before the beginning of time. This plan was accomplished by His power, evidenced His great love for us, and displayed His glory.
*Session Three: Peace in the Power of Jesus (25:28)-John 4-6 is the focal point of the teaching in Session 3 video as Melissa talks about savoring peace in the power of Jesus. She discusses three of the seven signs (miracles) found in John’s Gospel and points out three important truths for us to remember. She challenges us to rest in the truth that God is powerfully able and willing to help us in our time of need.
*Session Four: Peace in the Patience of Jesus (24:46)-In the Session 4 video teaching, Melissa focuses on savoring peace in the patience of Jesus. She’ll discuss portions of John 7-9 to reveal the big idea that when we look beneath the surface of our longings, we will find Jesus as our only source of satisfaction.
*Session Five: Peace in the Purposes of Jesus (31:11)-Savoring peace in the purposes of Jesus is the theme of the Session 5 video teaching. Melissa looks at portions of John 10-1

The single most important fact of the Christian faith is that Jesus isn’t dead. He was resurrected on a Sunday morning two thousand years ago. That one weekend included His execution, an earthquake, daytime darkness, an uprising, and a miracle unlike any the world had ever seen.
Those events and the days that followed changed everything about the world and form the center of our faith. Yet outside of a few days each year, we don’t spend a lot of time contemplating the resurrection itself.
In this four-session Bible study, we’ll look back on that incredible weekend and see why the resurrection of Jesus gives us hope and confidence today.
Session Topics:
1. Replacing My “If Onlys” with “If Jesus”
2. Jesus Rebuilds and Restores the Wrecks of My Life

$16.99Like all good stories, the Bible starts “in the beginning.” The book of Genesis describes what happened before anything but God existed. The first eleven chapters of Genesis lay a foundation for every story that will follow them.

Sermon On The Mount Bible Study Book Revised And Expanded With Video Access (Stu
$24.99In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right-a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.
What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
This 9-session study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. First released in 2014, this study is now updated with new teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

Short Guide To Groups
$14.99People were designed for community. We long to know and be known by others, and local churches can meet that need by gathering people together in groups.
In a world facing a loneliness epidemic and praising radical individualism, Christians are siloed as they experience anxiety, depression, disease, infertility, divorce, and other tragedies. Groups ministries are vital to local churches fighting the notion that we can face this life alone.
Small groups, discipleship groups, community groups, life groups–there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for your church’s groups ministry. A Short Guide to Groups is an accessible resource for your church to evaluate or start a groups ministry. With practical tips to consider, authors Jared Musgrove and Justin Elafros explain that while every ministry and group is different, there are several principles leaders can remember:
*Groups exist for community with God and other people.
*There is no lasting transformation in anyone without another person or group of people.
*The more relational your church is, the more transformational your church will become.
*Each person in every group is a gift from God to the others in that group.
*Where groups go, the church will follow.
*Where the church goes, groups will follow.The New Testament is clear that people are called to do life together; in fact, the call to love one another can be found sixty-six times. A Short Guide to Groups can help pastors and ministry leaders guide their people away from the loneliness epidemic and toward radical togetherness instead.

Also, each Book contains unique codes that enable you to access free teaching videos for each session.
While being thrown in prison may be cause for despair, for the apostle Paul it was a cause for joy. Why? Because through it all the Philippians had walked in partnership with him. Rather than feel abandoned, Paul felt supported. Rather than feel useless, Paul redeemed the opportunity. Through their financial gift, the Philippians participated in Paul’s ministry and shared in his imprisonment. And for that, Paul and the Philippians had reason to rejoice. As we study Philippians, we too will learn of the joy of partnership for the sake of the gospel.

Ruth Bible Study Book Updated Edition With Video Access
$21.99Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can easily get lost in a narrative where, at the beginning of the story, heartache reigned, but it was soon replaced by joy. Perhaps we’re drawn to these tales because they not only provide an escape, but hope.
Many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, it’s not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment.
In this 7-session study from Kelly Minter, we’ll examine Ruth’s journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. We’ll see how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores. First released in 2009, this study is now updated with fresh content and new teaching videos from Kelly.

So what do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful?
Lysa understands this deeply. But she’s also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In this video Bible study, Lysa invites small groups and individuals into her own journey of faith. With vulnerability and honest humor, she helps us:
*Learn how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
*Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
*Discover the secret of remaining trustful when God seems to give us more than we can handle.
*Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us for what’s next.
*Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God’s truth.
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
*The study guide itself–with group discussion prompts, activities, personal Bible study, video notes, and a leader’s guide.
*An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don’t need to buy a DVD!).
