Joshua: Strong and Courageous

WINNER! 2025 AWSA Christian Market Bible Study Book of the Year

The year is 1406 BC. The Israelites, demoralized by forty years in the wilderness and now without their leader Moses, have finally arrived to enter and conquer the Promised Land. Who is their new leader? Joshua.

The Israelites knew Joshua as one of their own. Committed. Dedicated. Faithful. But Joshua was no Moses. Nonetheless, God tells Joshua, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

Come along for a verse-by-verse study of Joshua and encounter life after Moses, the story of Rahab, the day the sun stood still, and Jericho’s walls tumbling to rubble. Join the caravan to behold our miracle-working, promise-keeping, always-sovereign God. 

Whatever battles you face, whatever you have to conquer, God is always with you. Come and step into God’s Promised Land.

Unshakable: Standing on the Rock When Life Quakes Hard

Many of us were shaken by the pandemic. We felt a shifting from safety into scarcity. This Bible study guides us through the lives of eight remarkable men and women in Scripture whom God shook to the core, then used to point people to the hope of salvation.

Each of these men and women thought that they would lead normal, ordinary lives, but God had unique, extraordinary plans for each of them. Somewhere in this cast of characters, we will find ourselves. In each person, we will see how the Lord gave them the faith to survive and thrive. The Lord provides that same strength and grace to 21st century believers, as well.

Throughout this study, the Bible shows us how, through both practical and spiritual lessons, to face and navigate life’s hardships and heartaches with UNSHAKABLE faith. Being shaken is part of a believer’s life: but because of Jesus’ victory over death and sin, standing on shaky ground is not how our story ends. God gives us a kingdom that CANNOT be shaken!

“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:28-29).

Meant for Good: A Study of Joseph

Joseph’s story in Genesis is well known by many. He’s the man with the many-colored coat and numerous siblings. A man who faced slavery, imprisonment, and a cruel Pharaoh while standing confidently in his faith through numerous trials and difficulties. A man who waited, patiently, for God to use him for good.

It almost sounds unfair how Joseph was meant to wait twenty grueling years for God put His plan with Joseph into motion. That same unfairness can seem to seep into our own lives. Even while living through struggles and turmoil, we can cling to the understanding that God means our lives for good.

Meant for Good will lead you through the grand story of Joseph in eight weeks as he faithfully waits for God’s plans to come together. In this Bible study, uncover how these struggles, woven together into a rich narrative of hope and faithfulness, showcase our need to let God’s love and forgiveness lead before our own selfish wants. You’ll see that trusting God to use your life for good allows you to be brave and bold in your faith.

Chosen: A Study of Esther

Nothing shows His ever-abundant presence better than the Book of Esther. While God’s name is never stated directly, His glorious presence is ever-present. He brings Esther, a woman from humble beginnings, into royalty and uses her to save His people—the same as He uses you in His plan today.

One Extraordinary Night

A four-lesson study of Luke 2:8-14 – “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
