Nothing will change your prayer life, your church, or your study of God's Word more than opening your heart to the Holy Spirit. Join Pastor Jim Cymbala as he invites you to discover a deeper understanding of how the Holy Spirit moves, and let Spirit Rising be your guide along the way. What will God do when you open your life to the Holy Spirit? Christianity is impossible without the Holy Spirit. So why do we talk so little about him? In Spirit Rising, Jim Cymbala combines biblical insights with stunning stories of the Holy Spirit's work to help you experience God's power in a new way. For so many of us, faith is harder than it should be. Discouraged, anxious, and worn down, we wonder what happened to the power and the joy that Jesus promised. But Jim believes that many of us are missing something vital. In Spirit Rising, Jim teaches us that if you aren't vitally in touch with God's Spirit, you are missing out on the life God has for you. With stunning stories of God at work and biblical teaching about the Holy Spirit, Jim invites you to experience God as the Bible intended, teaching us how to: Tap into the power of the Holy Spirit Look for signs and symbols of renewal in your life Surrender to the Holy Spirit Praise for Spirit Rising: "Jim Cymbala invites you and me to raise our sails and ride the warm winds of God's Spirit.

Know God better through a study of His names. Today’s culture and others’ views, even those of other Christians, can present a distorted view of God. Some suggest God exudes qualities He does not possess such as being unloving or apathetic toward His creation. In a world where we find people creating God in their own image, studying God’s names can remind us that we are created in His. In fact, one of the best ways to know God’s true character and grow closer to Him is to study His names. In The Names of God, Melissa Spoelstra leads women on an exploration of the many names of our triune God—from El and Elohim to Yahweh and its many combinations to names such as Abba, Jesus, and Holy Spirit...and many others. As women study the names of God, their ideas about God will become more grounded in what His names tell them, and thus more personal, allowing a greater trust in Him to share the details of their lives. Whether having walked with God for many years or just starting out in a relationship with Him, by the end of this study women will not only know more about God but will know Him better—because through the discovery of God’s names, they will discover Him! Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, DVD with six 25-minute segments (with closed captioning), and a boxed Leader Kit containing one of each component. This Bible Study Includes: - A six-week study of the names of God. - Inspires women to have a more personal and trusting relationship with God. - DVD features dynamic, engaging teaching in six 25-minute segments. - Strong, solid Bible study from popular Bible teacher and speaker Melissa Spoelstra.
