1 Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$11.99
In John 17, Jesus spends some of his final moments before his arrest and crucifixion in prayer. After praying for himself and his disciples, Jesus finishes by praying for us-for you and me and all future believers. And what does Jesus pray for? For all of our problems to go away? For us to be kept from trouble? No. Jesus prays that his followers would be one: that we would be brought to complete unity with one another and with him. Jesus knew that his followers were going to face challenges that would be too big for them to handle on their own. Jesus knew they would need to make some serious changes in their lives, and he knew that his followers would be able to do more and be more together than they could ever do or be alone. So when Jesus prays on behalf of all of his followers-including you and me-Jesus prays for one thing-unity. Jesus prays that we would have the same love and a shared life. It’s no wonder then that when the Holy Spirit bursts on the scene in the book of Acts, the first thing that happened was a diverse group of people from all over the world coming together in a beautiful, powerful demonstration of community. The question is, how do we experience the shared life that Jesus wants for us? This kind of community doesn’t just happen; it is intentionally built. One is an eight-week journey that will empower you to do just that, joining with a small group of other Christians to form a close-knit community in which you will grow in faith together. Over your time together, you will discover the gift that you have in one another; you will begin to move past skin-deep relationships and into intentional Christ centered community; and you will start to grow together spiritually. The eighth week is not an end; it is a beginning. When you finish this study, you will be prepared to continue meeting as a small group, growing in Christ together. You will be empowered to take the next steps of meeting regularly, determining your purpose and direction, deepening your faith, and serving in the community. You will be inspired and led to lift each other up, push each other forward, and send each other out. During the first four weeks, participants will watch video segments in which Nick outlines the biblical vision for Christ-centered community and how that can take shape among small groups in the twenty-first century. Substantial group interaction and individual reflection will accompany the video segments, building the expectation that this will be an

Women Of The Bible Speak
$21.00The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
