How Jesus Acts through Us Today: What Do You Do When Things Go Wrong? Part 1
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: How God Defeats Religion
Two options: First, describe a mountain peak based on looking out a window at it. Second, describe that same peak having just climbed it. When we’re asked about our faith, do we stumble into the former, completely missing out on the power of the latter? How do we combine our experience with known truth? We’ll look at these questions today.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: A Persecuted People and a Powerful God
Stories of turmoil are typically easier to deal with when they’re on the “other side of the fence.” But can it be that when the troubles are elsewhere, the power of God is not as intimately known? Can we know the power of God with going through the fire? We’ll look at these questions in this study.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: How God Embraces the Excluded
“How to overcome exclusion and division in 30 seconds or less.” Clearly not going to happen, unless we know the true source of unity. In this study, we look at the life of a Bible character that was excluded in many ways, and yet ended up in joyful victory.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Real Church
In modern times, we’ve become accustomed to being bombarded on a daily basis with scam attempts. Would it surprise you to know these date back to Bible times as well? We’ll expose one such scam artist with the objective of learning the difference between “Feeling Good” and “Feeling God.”
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Happy Martyr's Day
In your own quite honesty, where would you place yourself on a scale from “Top of the World” to “Top of Crash and Burn?” In our study today, we’ll look at one life that could be described as “ending badly” but in reality, is pivotal to our faith today. Is our assessment of failure always reliable? This important question addressed today.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Growing Up in Lockdown
Perhaps you’ve seen them. Just do a search for “Flowers Growing in Concrete.” Amazing, beautiful plants in what appears to be the worst possible conditions! Is it possible that your situation is so bad that growth is completely ruled out? In today's study will look at ways growth can happen in spite of harsh conditions.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Healing in a Time of Sickness, Part 2
“God knows best.” Easy to say, but sometimes really hard to live with. If we’re sick, we want to get better. We “know” that’s what’s best for us. How do we deal with God appearing to have a “better best” for us? We’ll wrestle with this question today.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Healing in a Time of Sickness, Part 1
Sickness comes in many shapes and sizes, perhaps first physically, but also emotionally, and even financially. So how does scripture reach out to those that are sick? What are realistic expectations regarding healing? And is healing only limited to the miraculous? We’ll look at those questions today.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: Finding Encouragement
“Tell me something about your church.” If someone walked up to you and asked that question, what would your first thought be? Would it be something positive? Or would it be that one thing that continually gets under your skin? How would Barnabas respond, and what are the implications for us today? We’ll look at these questions in this study.
How Jesus Acts through Us Today: The Power of a Praying People
Shaken any buildings lately? Our study looks at a passage where prayer made the building shake. Is this particular type of prayer specific to that period of time? Or should we look at why our prayers today may not feel that powerful? The early church is again our focus.
