Here is the help you need to lead a great Bible discussion.
The Bible looks at the coming of our Saviour from many different
angles. In these studies we see the birth of the Messiah from the
perspectives of his parents, his aunt and uncle, shepherds doing a
day's work, far-off Magi and nearby despots - even the way prophets
from centuries before saw things. May these studies give you a
fresh vision of the coming Christ.
Too often it becomes a mere fact-finding exercise or a dull,
spiritless routine. In nine studies, Cindy Bunch guides us towards
a place where Scripture seeps into our souls and powerfully changes
us from within. Only as we enter the Bible's pages and meet God
face to face can we begin to grasp the true riches of his Word.
With more than 130 titles, the LifeBuilder Bible Studies series
delivers sound biblical content and raises thought-provoking
questions. It provides a unique Bible study experience for
individuals and groups.
When we experience frustrations in daily life, many of us hold
ourselves to blame. Self-criticism is often our default setting.
But we can have a more gracious posture toward ourselves. We can
practice disciplines of self-kindness. Editor and spiritual
director Cindy Bunch calls us to self-care through greater
compassion for ourselves. She helps us pay attention to the
frustrations that bug us in order to identify negative thinking
about ourselves or others. As we do so, we can discern what we need
to let go. This allows us to lean into the things that bring us
joy. Each chapter is filled with spiritual practices and creative
exercises for reflection and celebration. The pages of the
appealing smaller book format are illustrated with photographs and
art from the author. Be kind to yourself. And discover new
opportunities to embrace joy.
The events that took place in Jesus' final week of life - Palm
Sunday, the Last Supper, the trial, Jesus' death and his
resurrection - are foundational to our Christian lives and to our
salvation. Focusing on these events day by day brings new
understanding to who Jesus is and how he loves us. This LifeBuilder
Bible Study in the new revised format features questions for
starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal
reflection, as well as a "Now or Later" section in each study.
Are you looking for fresh ideas to energize your small group? Here
are hundreds of activities contributed by small group experts from
across the United States. Tested in the field and drawn from the
front lines of small group ministry, these creative ideas will help
you evaluate the state of your group and enhance the five
components of healthy group life. Community activities for the four
stages of a group's life help you to get acquainted, go deeper with
one another, process conflict, make memories and prepare for your
group's ending. Whether charismatic, liturgical or somewhere in
between, you'll find ideas for worship and prayer that stretch
group members in these vital areas of spiritual growth. Your group
will grow closer to one another as you draw near to God together.
Ideas for study offer you some creative methods for Bible study and
life application as well as ideas for learning through books,
videos and other resources. A section on outreach helps your group
to look beyond its borders and serve the needs of others. You'll
find ideas for inviting others into your group and for working
together in evangelism, social action and world mission. Edited by
Cindy Bunch, this edition features new ideas gathered from The
Small Group Network (www.SmallGroups.com) founded by Michael Mack
and now directed by Dan Lentz. Whether you are a small group
leader, a group coordinator or a pastor, you will return to this
valuable resource again and again.
Do you want to discover the riches of Scripture? Do you want to
draw closer to God? Based on IVP's bestselling LifeGuide Bible
Study series, the Quiet Time Bible Guide helps you dig into
Scripture for yourself, developing a deeper and stronger
relationship with God in the process. Instead of being told what
the Bible says, you'll begin with questions to put you in a
worshipful frame of mind. You'll move on to interpretive questions
that help you explore what the Bible says, and then consider
application questions to help you act on what you learn.
Suggestions for personal prayer conclude your time of worship and
study--and launch you into the rest of your day. Millions have
benefited from the thoughtful experience of Scripture found in
IVP's LifeGuide Bible Studies. This material was adapted from those
guides and originally published as The NIV Quiet Time Bible.
Millions more have since used these devotionals online on IVP's
Quiet Time Bible Study website. Now 365 of the studies, leading you
through the New Testament and Psalms, have been gathered together
in one volume again. Whether you're new to the idea of quiet times
or you've enjoyed them for years, theQuiet Time Bible Guide
provides you with a fresh opportunity to read all of the New
Testament and Psalms in one year--and draw close to God every day.
When we belong to God, we become people who display God's virtues:
faith, hope, love, wisdom, justice, courage, moderation, integrity
and perseverance. These nine revised studies take a closer look at
each of these Christian virtues. The revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a 'now or later' section in each
study.
Virtue may not be a word you use every day, but it defines the
qualities of a person of character. One of the good things about
belonging to God is that he develops virtues in you. In nine
sessions Cindy Bunch leads you to investigate--and learn to
practice--key Christian virtues: faith, hope, love, wisdom,
justice, courage, moderation, integrity and perseverance. This
revised LifeGuide Bible Study features additional questions for
starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal
reflection, together with expanded leader's notes and a "Now or
Later" section in each study.
These six studies, edited by Cindy Bunch, will introduce you to the
circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus, remind you of God's
faithfulness and power to fulfill his promises, and draw you more
deeply into the love that brought Christ to earth.
How can you become a woman of God? Leading you through a series of
studies drawn from Old and New Testament passages, Bunch offers
Scripture as the best guide to help you develop the traits of a
godly woman. She includes sessions on how to be strong,
trustworthy, wise, resourceful, forgiving, beautiful, content,
confident--and how to claim God's grace when you fall short. This
LifeGuide Bible Study in IVP's revised format features questions
for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal
reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section following each
session to help you act on what you learn.
