Colossians - Fullness of Life in Christ

By: Lydia Brownback

Colossians reveals Christ is the ruler of all things and sufficient for our every need. While Christians profess these truths, we sometimes struggle to apply this knowledge to our everyday lives. Thankfully, the book of Colossians offers a practical guideline, exalting Christ as the Lord of everything and showing believers how they share in his life, death, and resurrection in their lives now and for all eternity.

This 10-week Bible study for women explores Colossians verse by verse to help readers understand how the Christian life is meant to be lived through the risen Lord Jesus Christ.  Author Lydia Brownback provides conversational teaching, practical application questions, and additional recommended resources to help women live Christ-centered lives focused on the hope of the gospel and the person of Jesus Christ.

David, the Shepherd King: The Life and Times of King David in Israel (Following God)

By: Rick Shepherd

What makes a great king?
Psalm 78:70–72 describes God’s choice of David: “He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds…to shepherd His people.” David, though imperfect, ruled with integrity of heart and skillful hands, leaving a legacy that has influenced generations. His life shows us that leadership rests most on the heart.

David the Shepherd King, a Following God® Character Study, is a six-week journey through David’s reign—its successes and failures, strengths and struggles. More than history, his story offers timeless lessons for us, whether we lead only ourselves or many.

*NOTE:  Although this is a six-week lesson series, Joanne will divide some of the lessons to lighten the load and allow extra time for reflection and understanding, and to make full use of the 10 weeks allotted for the fall/winter session.

Knowing Jesus as God - A Bible study on the book of John

By: Tara-Leigh Cobble

Jesus is God. This is revealed throughout Scripture, but no book makes this truth clearer than the gospel of John. The entire book is a revelation of God's character as witnessed by the man he was closest to. John never identifies himself by name, but as the disciple that Jesus loved.

Features:
· Daily study sessions. Your group leader, Liz, will ease the study load by spreading each lesson over two weeks. As a result, Knowing Jesus as God will continue into the winter/spring session.
· Passage-by-passage teaching
· Thought-provoking questions and writing space
· Weekly challenges to help you live out what you're learning
· Scripture memorization

Whether it's your first time studying the book of John or your hundredth, the simplicity and complexity of this gospel account make it a never-ending source of encouragement. Written "so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (John 20:31), the book of John demonstrates page after page that He's where the joy is! Hopefully, after studying this gospel, each of you will identify yourself as the disciple that Jesus loved.

The Twelve Disciples

By: Douglas Connelly

Despite a brief window of time in Jesus' presence, there was a transforming effect on each of the twelve disciples.  This ten-session LifeGuide® Bible Study of Jesus' first followers will transform you, too, as you see how the Master can take the most fear-filled and faithless among us and empower us to be confident witnesses of his grace and forgiveness. In each of the first nine chapters, you'll study one of Jesus' disciples. The tenth chapter is devoted to three of the lesser-known disciples. Each chapter contains a Scripture reading, personal and group discussion questions, a personal reflection, and concludes with a suggested activity or exercise to do either "now or later."
