Defeat the devil every time he attacks. Many people today believe the devil does not exist. They think he is merely an ancient myth or a metaphor to explain the presence of evil in our world. However, the Bible clearly teaches that Satan is very real-and that he will stop at nothing to bring about our destruction. That's the bad news. But as Dr. Charles Stanley explains in Overcoming the Enemy, the good news is that Jesus Christ has already defeated the devil-utterly, permanently, and irrevocably. While this does not mean we will never be confronted with his evil, we have the promise that in Christ we will always have the victory over him. The Charles F. Stanley Bible Study Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action. Each study draws on Dr. Stanley's many years of teaching the guiding principles found in God's Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face. This edition of the series has been completely revised and updated, and includes two brand-new lessons from Dr. Stanley. Each lesson includes: Overview: A brief look at what is covered in the lesson Life's Questions: A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lesson Living the Principle: Application and Bible study questions based on the key points Reflection: Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow

In a world where boundaries and guardrails are encouraged, our focus can become
narrow and near-sighted. The Christian faith is replete with self-control and guided
resistance of all the matters of life that can trip us up. But are boundaries and
guardrails, self-control and resistance meant for the spirit chasing after the heart of
God?

Bible teacher and author, Kat Armstrong dares to ask and explore what faith and life
in general would look like if we broke through all the barriers holding us back and we
actually practiced loving the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind,
and all our strength. What if we lived giving Jesus our ALL?

Born out of a real-life confrontation with a fellow student at seminary who challenged
Kat's reasoning, purpose, and goal for pursing a deeper knowledge of God's Word,
this study delves into the deep of our person and dares us to answer, What Am I
Even Here For? Who am I to chase after God? How do I actually follow Jesus'
command?

Through engaging and heartfelt Biblical teaching, Kat guides us on a journey down
the narrow path, the one less traveled, because it is hard and it is difficult-but it is
worth every step. Following after Jesus takes effort, perseverance, trust, focus, and
energy. It takes our ALL. In a world that emphasized qualifications, Kat offers a fresh
perspective of encouragement that aligns with Scripture from beginning to end:
"Don't be afraid. Give me your everything."

If you have ever felt challenged or insecure in your personal pursuit of God, this is
your study.

Where do most people today turn for leadership? Some examine the world of politics. Some look for models in the entertainment industry. Many look to the world of business-to the successful stories of CEOs, management consultants, and theoreticians with PhDs. However, the truth is that the best source of leadership teaching today comes not from any of these sources but from the one true source: the Word of God. The Bible is the greatest source on leadership that has ever been written.

John Maxwell has spent decades researching and equipping others for leadership, and his primary source of leadership principles has always been the Word of God. In this study, he draws on the stories of the men and women in Scripture to show how they demonstrated what he calls "the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership." He also shows how some of the characters in the Bible failed to portray these leadership principles, and how that affected them and, in some cases, entire populations of people groups.

Sessions include in-depth studies on the principles of leadership followed by men and women such as Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Ruth, David, Elijah, Josiah, Esther, Nehemiah, Peter, Barnabas, and especially Jesus. Each session contains the following sections:

- The Law: An overview of the law and how it operates (includes quotes from the book and discussion questions based on the principles covered)

- Biblical example: An overview of the primary character in the Bible who demonstrated that law or wrote about that law

- Another look: Bible study questions based on the highlighted passages

- Highlighting the lesson: Questions that focus on the central teaching points

- Lasting implications: Questions to help draw out personal conclusions

- Daily assignments: Five sets of questions that guide readers on how to put the laws into effect during their week

This study has been designed to enhance readers' experience of working through John Maxwell's leadership materials and is intended both for individual use and for small groups.
