Moving beyond facts to experience the fullness of God Theology is a conversation about God. One that invites us to experience God in all His fullness rather than just memorizing facts about God. Theology is not some academic subject to only be pursued by professors and seminarians. Theology is the way we connect with our Redeemer. It's how we remember that we're His. And we will never have to be alone. This seven-week Bible study by Lisa Harper, titled A Jesus-Shaped Life, is your invitation to explore the depths of God's character, God's love for you, and how your relationship with Him transforms you. Ultimately, you will experience how biblically sound theology deepens your relationship wi...
A childless woman long past childbearing age. A young widow from a foreign land. An elderly widow living at the temple. Two sisters with very different personalities. Most of the women we know from the Bible were unremarkable in and of themselves. They were ordinary, common, and—in some cases—from shockingly low places in society. In each case, what made them extraordinary was a memorable and life-changing encounter with the God of the universe. The Twelve Extraordinary Women Workbook brings you face-to-face with the women of the Bible as you've never seen them before. You'll discover their struggles and doubts. You'll learn about their fears and failures. You'll explore how God used the...

Scot McKnight provides scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament. The NIV is used as the primary Bible text but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage. McKnight also offers some historical context; connects the passage to the larger story of the Bible; provides an illustration, a metaphor, or an image that brings the passage alive; and provides a list of 2-3 resources for further reading or study. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily reading.
If Jesus Used These Men . . . He Can Also Use You They weren't saints. They weren't scholars. They weren't even religious sages. What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus ever selected them at all. Among them, a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot. The Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook brings you face-to-face with the disciples as you've never seen them. You'll put yourself in their shoes. You'll understand their doubts and hopes. And you'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you! Bas...

"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher The apostle Paul's second letter to the Corinthians is Paul's most pastoral letter, Paul's most emotional letter, and a view into the factions and the fracturing relations with one of Paul's most memorable churches. In the letter, Paul appeals to unity and expresses joy over the good news he hears about Corinth's believers' reception of his care for them. In the New Testamen...
