The Risen Christ (Lifebuilder Study Guides) by Bill Weimer Pdf
Jesus' words from the cross are not Jesus’ last words on earth. Jesus appeared to his fearful and questioning disciples, encouraged them, and gave them his final instructions after his resurrection from the dead. In various settings and at different times, Jesus interacted with many of his followers to show them he was alive. His post resurrection dialogues with these women and men truly are Jesus’ last words! You may have questions or doubts about faith. You may have discussed spiritual topics or talked with others about Jesus. You may sometimes feel religiously locked into past concepts or socially locked out from people—even embarrassed or fearful about how others perceive you and your spiritual beliefs or questions. You may wonder, Can Jesus really impact my life? Through these Bible studies, you will meet the risen Jesus Christ and hear his words. May he encounter you in your life situations, encourage your faith and trust in him, and excite you about engaging others in discussions about Jesus.
Biblical Meditation: The Secret to a Transformed Life (Study Guide) by Carlton Babatunde Williams Pdf
Meditation holds the key to unlocking the transforming power of God in every life, and it has the potential to ignite revival fire in every heart. The way the word meditation is used today deviates from the original meaning in the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible, dampening its effectiveness. However, biblical meditation started with the patriarchs and persisted throughout the early church. God told Joshua that meditation is the recipe for a prosperous journey in life (Joshua 1:8). This study guide is designed as an accompaniment to the book, Biblical Meditation. It will enable you to hone your understanding of the concepts shared in Biblical Meditation by exploring questions, which expose any underlying beliefs, for further reflection and discussion. It will also challenge you to examine the practical ways these concepts can be applied and lived out. While the study guide is intended for group settings whether small or large, facilitated by leaders who have read Biblical Meditation, it can also be used for personal study. I recommend that readers begin by first completing Biblical Meditation, to receive a holistic understanding of the subject of meditation. Then start again, reading a chapter of the book before delving into the corresponding chapter in the study guide. The chapters in the study guide match the chapters in the book. It is best to take a sequential approach, building understanding and steering discussions from the first chapter to the last. Only some of the scripture passages referred to are written out in the study guide, so it is good to have a Bible with you as you go through the book. Writing space is provided to record your answers and reflections. Feel free however, to use a journal or other writing material to capture thoughts and information that do not fit in the space provided. Start each session with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to give you insight. Inspired Bible prayers can be found in the appendices. Essential study aids for your devotional life are also listed. Many are my personal favourites. Work through the study guide at a comfortable pace for you or for your group. The goal of meditation is not to finish but to be transformed. It is my prayer that as you journey through the study guide, you will receive insight into this ancient path and claim meditation back with its true meaning and practice. I commend this book to the precious Body of Christ who have been purchased by the blood of the Lamb of God and called to a high purpose. May your heart's hunger for more of God be satisfied through the power of the Holy Spirit.
For some Christians, listening to God is a constant inner tuning to nudges from the Spirit as we go about our day. Others seem to hear God mostly through Scripture. How did the people of the Bible, like Hagar, Moses, Solomon and John, hear God? Ten studies from the Old and New Testaments encourage us to learn about the spiritual discipline of listening to God.
The Mindful Way to Study by Jake Gibbs,Roddy Gibbs Pdf
The ability to pay attention is a key component of effective learning. Just think of all the times in your life when parents, teachers, bosses, and coaches have told you to pay attention to what you are doing. You would think that with all of the attention paid to paying attention, we would be pretty good at it. The problem is we're not, because most of us have never been taught how. Commonly adopted methods like forced concentration are actually counterproductive to learning and achieving our goals. In addition, too much focus on future goals and rewards takes our attention away from what we need to be doing in order to achieve them. Luckily, there is another way, a better way: the mindful way. The Mindful Way To Study: Dancing With Your Books is a guide to help students, professionals, and other lifelong learners develop a better approach to their educational and career pursuits. By using mindfulness, or the practice of bringing full awareness to the present moment, the authors blend the latest research with entertaining stories and specific techniques to teach readers how to truly pay attention, and even learn to enjoy it.
The way we think and feel about ourselves is one of the most important things about us – affecting our peace of mind, our creativity and our ability to engage meaningfully in the world. Perhaps most importantly, it impacts our relationships with others, including our relationship with God. These eight studies are designed to help us take a transforming look at some key aspects of our self-image under the clear reflection of God’s love.
When Edith was stillborn without warning, Jonny and Joanna were stunned and confused. Why wasn't anyone talking about baby loss? Where could they turn for help? Who would answer their burning questions? One in in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage; one in 200 in stillbirth. And yet, while the church offers resources to cope with suffering generally, there is often an echoing silence when it comes to the trauma of baby loss. 'When we lost our daughter Edith,' say Jonny and Joanna, 'it was painful indeed to find the lack of biblically rooted and pastorally sensitive resources.' Nothing really hit the mark, so, through tears, they wrote this book. It comes to you, or someone close to you, with a massive hug. It is the authors' prayer and passion that you will be amazed by our great God as you connect with deep truths from the Bible, bringing healing to your heart, mind and soul.
Most Christians have experienced the "laundry list" phase of spiritual life, in which praying means giving God an agenda of needs to handle. But how do you move to having real conversation with God? How do you hear what God is saying back to you? How can you make your experience of God's presence part of everyday life? In this six-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, Jan Johnson covers the disciplines of prayer and of practicing God's presence. Going deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God in everything you do. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.
The Bible offers a bracingly realistic account of how the disciples, as flawed characters, frequently resist or grapple with the challenge—and often pain—of spiritual growth. This book tracks the journey of the disciples from Gethsemane until the aftermath Pentecost, using this period as a metaphor for spiritual growth and personal change. Here is a credible and authentic account of spiritual growth for a new generation.
