Prayer doesn’t begin with you; it begins with Jesus. Paul wrote, “Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34). Interceding. That’s what Jesus is doing right now. He is praying for you. He is the bridge between the Father’s heavenly resources and your earthly life. Every prayer you have ever prayed, and every prayer you ever will pray, is a response to his prayers for you. Join pastor and author Tyler Staton for a five-session Bible study that takes you to the starting point of a journey that will lead you from receiving the intercession of Christ to interceding with Christ. Along the way you’ll make four stops, summarizing the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus taught into four core practices: adoration, confession, petition, and intercession. But it all starts and ends not with our prayers, but with Christ’s. This study guide includes: Individual access to five streaming video sessions A guide to best practices a for leading a group Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time

Prayer is the source of Jesus' most astonishing miracles and the subject of his most audacious promises. Yet most people--even most Bible-believing Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. But it doesn't have to be this way! Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is an invitation to step into the wonder of prayer and trade these misconceptions for a vital, sustaining, powerful, life-changing connection with God. In this study, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--shares several common roadblocks to prayer that he faced in his own life and the biblical practices he implemented that enabled him to view his relationship with God in a completely new way. Through biblical teaching, storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, participants will: (1) learn how to express doubts and disappointments about prayer; (2) discover multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, and confession; (3) embrace the wonder of prayer in everyday life; and (4) reopen lines of communication with their Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself--with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.

What is worship? Biblically-speaking, worship might mean a lot of things: a celebration of God and his glory, a display of reverence and awe, an act of humility or prostration before our Creator. But what does this look like today? And do churches of today—of any tradition or denomination—really worship in a way that's biblical? Called to Worship is a deep dive into what worship means in the Bible. Vernon Whaley—Dean of the school of music at Liberty University—investigates each individual book of Scripture to uncover the tapestry of instruction and insight into God's idea of worship. With this book, you'll learn: How to see through the comfort zones of the modern church's worship rituals and routines. The biblical principles of worship and why understanding these principles is essential in our discipleship and important to our creator. How the life of Christ serves as a living guide to worship throughout the entire Bible and the history of Christianity. The Bible describes a rich history of Yahweh worship—offered first by the hosts of heaven in eternity past, and then by mankind, from Creation to present day. This book is a call to understand and participate in that richness.

Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps people understand their God-given purpose for existing and understand that each person of every society, culture, and religious background must decide if the one true God is worthy to follow. Although everyone has a nature that has been marred by disobedience toward God, God continually works in everyone's heart and mind to teach the reality of His desire for each to learn to return His love and voluntarily submit to His leadership thereby becoming part of His eternal close-knit holy family. All who listen and learn to return God's love become followers of Christ. Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps its readers understand the creation more fully including being made in the image of God, spiritual warfare, self-centeredness, spiritual awakening, commitment, sojourning with God, and being His representatives to those who are still struggling with Satan's deceptions and their own self-centeredness.

Love isn't a feeling. It's an activity. It's something you do. And participating in the act of love is the secret to understanding God's love--the secret to a life well lived. Building on the foundation of the New York Times bestseller, Love Does, the Love Does video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) is a case study in love done--a love that's practical, functional, active. Not a "love" that has all the right answers. Not a "love" with ulterior motives. Not a "love" that's all talk or paralyzed by doubt. But a radically alive love that's an intentional participation in God's world. How is that kind of love done? The how is what this study is about. Real growth happens when you learn how to tap into the empowering, energizing love of God. Using it fills you. Risking it secures you. Giving it satisfies you. Each of the five sessions in the Love Does video study explores a different aspect of God's active love through Bob Goff's teachings and stories: I'm With You - we've been given the invitation to love. Taking it seriously is where life meets faith. Free to Fail - exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does with it. Audacious Love - understanding why receiving love is essential to giving love. Be Not Afraid - chasing out the anxieties that keep us from acting and living the life that Jesus has called us to. Follow Me - delving into how to bring our passions and plans together and bind them to God's plan. This study guide provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called "Putting Love into Action," which gives you the opportunity to put the principles you have learned into real-life practice. It's time to step off the ledge and fall into God's immeasurable love. Designed for use with the Love Does Video Study (9781400206292), sold separately.
