The Hardest Word, Part 1
Just Say No, Part 2
“Just when you think it couldn’t get worse…” It’s a lousy phrase when it’s you at the center of the ensuing story. Whether you’re on the steep downhill to disaster, or just wallowing through incessant disappointment, our study today offers hope.
Just Say No, Part 1
What is the threshold where bad stuff becomes suffering? Does discouragement qualify as suffering? Does Scripture address subtle frustration? We’ll explore the suffering continuum and how to rise above in this study.
Wrestling with God, Part 2
Is there a difference between wrestling with God for our purposes and wrestling with God for God's purposes? Is there value to assessing the goal of our fight? We’ll look at these questions in our study today.
Wrestling with God, Part 1
Does the daily objective of “conflict avoidance” keep us from tapping into bigger gains in our understanding of God? What can we learn from Jacob's wrestling match with God?
Stairway to Heaven
Our study today explores the dream that Jacob had as recorded in Genesis, and how it links to our understanding of who God is.
Divine Matchmaking
What does it mean to say that God is in control when we're talking about a point in our life where action is needed? When do we power-up versus when do we pray? We'll look at this question in today's study.
Fear God, Part 2
What's the relationship between being in a tight situation and having faith? Perhaps it's easy to assume when the pressure is off. Our study looks at an example of faith in the worst imaginable situation.
Fear God, Part 1
Very few people will say they really enjoy tests. What if we knew clearly that the test was coming directly from God? Abraham faced just this reality. Today's study looks for things we can learn from his test.
Beyond Redemption, Part 2
If the bad guys are always "those people" do we miss out on an honest look at ourselves? And does that view lessen the value of grace? We'll look at these questions in this study.
Beyond Redemption, Part 1
What question would you ask God if you were walking along next to Him after sharing a meal? While that might be a difficult scene to imagine, we're heading there nonetheless in this study.
