    Are the politics of our time frustrating you? Are you looking for solutions? Are you losing hope?

    There is hope and a solution to the challenges of our times — just as there has always been hope and a solution to the challenges of every time.

    As with all challenges in life, God’s Word provides the answer. God revealed the hope and solution to His prophet Daniel, and it is still true for us today. Daniel 11:32b says, “but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.” So, who are these people, what does standing firm mean and what action are they taking? Attend this Biblical Citizenship class to learn more!

    Living Water. Helper. Lord. Many believers long for a clearer understanding of the Holy Spirit and the role He plays in our relationship with God. The good news is, when we study the Bible, the Spirit’s specific identity and work as a member of the Trinity is made clear.

    In The Power of The Holy Spirit’s Names, bestselling author and pastor Dr. Tony Evans examines 12 of the Spirit’s most significant titles and what they reveal about this powerful, present and personal expression of the triune God. As you read, you’ll gain eye-opening insights into how the Spirit moves within the hearts of believers while learning how His indwelling of you shapes your unique faith.

    As we grow in our ability to love, revere and relate to the person of the Holy Spirit, we also grow in our capacity to experience God. This book will help you internalize profound truths about the Holy Spirit’s character and transform how you understand the Trinity.

    Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

    In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

    Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either.

    The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts and overlooked!

    Defending Your Faith investigates many of the answers to the critical issues of biblical apologetics in an intelligent and user-friendly format.

    Based on decades sharing with people of all backgrounds about the firm foundations of our faith, Dr.John Ankerberg and Dillon Burroughs provide guidance for every step along the way.

    Each lesson of this study takes a look at a different controversy regarding the Christian faith. Readers will be equipped to share their beliefs as they speak with others on spiritual matters. But more importantly, readers will be able to confidently live out their faith with the information from these truths.

    In the pages of this study, you will find accurate and insightful advice for:

    • Knowing the basis for your faith

    • Understanding the development and accuracy of God’s Word

    • Explaining the factual basis behind the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ

    As moms, we’re under constant pressure. We have to get it right in all areas of life—work, home, family and faith—because our children’s futures hinge on our ability to perfectly orchestrate the present.

    But those impossible standards leave us oscillating between worry, fear, anger, and shame. They threaten to steal all the wonder from parenting, life, and our personal relationship with God.

    In this 7-session study, discover how the gospel message can empower you to parent in the freedom of God’s sovereignty. So that you can breathe deeper, walk lighter and enjoy your children—and the parenting journey—more than ever before.
