Live Full Walk Free Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99
“What Happens in Corinth Stays in Corinth” If there had been a tourism industry back in ancient Greece, this could have easily been the slogan for Corinth. Centuries before there was Vegas-overindulging in wine and food, strip clubs and peep shows, and losing your shirt at the craps table-there was Corinth, the “Sin City” of its day. Here overindulgence was the byword; pleasure the goal, and tolerance the motto. Sound familiar? And like the real tag line for Vegas-“What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas”- Corinth’s reputation implied that you were going to fall into damaging behaviors, and engage in activities that were secret, hidden and shameful-it was expected and celebrated!
The Apostle Paul knew the city and its temptations very well. He lived in Corinth for eighteen months, helping the rookie church there gain its footing in a slippery society. However, after Paul left the city, the Corinthians slid all too quickly into their previous behaviors and vices. They had new hearts, but they couldn’t shake their old habits. It was in this circumstance Paul wrote his extraordinary letter to the Corinthians, a confused community of believers struggling to live uprightly in a falling down world. The warped, glittering culture of their city had crept into the church, to the point where there was little that set them apart from their loose-living neighbors. They were in trouble, just as our modern culture continues its own spiraling downward trend. But, just as Paul speaks into the lives of the Corinthian church members, he speaks to us here and now with an exhilarating message of grace and freedom. Wonderfully, Paul’s letter offers us so much wisdom and clarity for a different way of life, one that doesn’t just avoid shady TV shows and online videos and hunker down into sanitized Christian enclaves. Rather, we are challenged to live abundantly in Sin City, to dynamically contribute to culture and cultivate holy lives, not in our own power, but through the power and freedom of Jesus Christ. Touching on themes of identity, purpose, and purity, this Bible study offers women a bold route to freedom, a path of strength, clarity, and nonconformity. These six sessions will equip women to open their eyes the complexities of life in a sin-soaked world and to handle each situation they face with boldness and grace.

Life Lessons From James
$14.99Do your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person’s life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical issues of faith not bound by culture or place. He shows the importance of living a genuine life of faith. His message is bare-knuckled as he encourages, challenges, and confronts, offering practical words and admonitions to live out our faith.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.

$19.99This New York Times bestselling and award-winning book helps readers set healthy boundaries in order to be the loving people God created, and now offers a whole new chapter.
Are you in control of your life?
Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?
In this Gold Medallion Award-winning book and New York Times bestseller, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, and show you how to set healthy boundaries with your parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself. This updated and expanded edition specifically addresses boundaries in the digital age, online dating, single parenting, and the workplace.
Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
Unpacking ten laws of boundaries, Drs. Cloud and Townsend show you how to bring new health to your relationships. You’ll discover firsthand how sound boundaries give you the freedom to walk as the loving, giving, fulfilled individual God created you to be.

Kingdom Disciples : Heavens Representatives On Earth
$18.40The missing key to Christianity in America
There is a missing key in Christianity today. It is a critical key, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without the full use of this key, we lack the tools needed to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth.
That missing key is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn:
*What a disciple essentially is
*What a disciple cares about
*How to be a disciple and make disciples
*What discipleship looks like in community
*What the impact of discipleship on the world should beKingdom disciples are short supply, and the results are legions of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, resulting in a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship.
It is the goal of this book Kingdom Disciples to call believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment?
Useful for base material in a course on discipleship.
