Perseverance: Praying Through Life’s Challenges (A Nehemiah Battle Plan)

We all have it. That one thing that’s keeping each of us from a fuller life. It could be a habit to break, a debt to retire, an addiction to conquer, a goal to accomplish, or a lingering project to complete.

What if we, like Nehemiah, persevered with single-minded focus and trusted God to accomplish something incredible?

Nehemiah may not be the first biblical example who comes to mind when we talk about perseverance, but we look to his example to discern helpful steps that we can apply on our one-thing journey. God, through the life of Nehemiah, provides insight into how we can respond to struggles—the one thing—in our life.

Are you tired of being defeated by your one thing? Perhaps it’s time to do something about it. Through this eight-lesson journey, we walk with Nehemiah from Persia to Jerusalem as God gives him the strength to persevere past seemingly insurmountable obstacles into His redeeming grace. Each session includes a video segment that digs deeper into Scripture and explores life application. For individual and group use.

Where Love Abides

Seasons matter in vineyards. They also matter in our spiritual journey. We experience winter seasons that seem prolonged and harsh. We endure seasons of pruning where God removes the superfluous to nurture deep roots in Him.

We also experience bountiful seasons of harvest where we, through the power of the Holy Spirit, experience the abundance of God’s beautiful fruit. But this fruit is not just for believers to sit back and enjoy. God calls us to go into all the world and share it.

Jesus, our Vine, lovingly invites us to abide in Him (John 15:4) as He abides in us. What does that mean? What does it look like amidst our modern, fast-paced days?

As you walk through His Word with this 8-lesson DVD study, you will gain a clear understanding of both the blessing and responsibility of being chosen for God’s vineyard.

Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” When we abide in Him through the faith He gives, He draws us into an intimate relationship with Him as branches in His vineyard — that beautiful place Where Love Abides.

Peter: From Fisherman to Fisher of Men

A Bible study on the life and ministry of the Apostle Peter.

Peter failed.
Jesus redeemed.
Jesus restored.
Peter triumphed.
His story is our story.

We can learn much from the life and ministry of the Apostle Peter. His passion for the Gospel was sometimes overshadowed by the shortcomings of his nature. Peter demonstrates that zeal without discipline is reckless, a prideful heart stunts growth, God uses people who make mistakes, and the Holy Spirit enables us to humbly welcome Jesus in our lives.

Through this 8-lesson DVD study, we will walk through the life and ministry of Peter to learn how holy boldness can move and inspire the multitudes in the name of Christ. Order here.

Your Strong Suit

Author, Donna Snow, and LWML have teamed up to produce an eight-lesson Bible study Your Strong Suit based on Ephesians 6:10-18.

This eight week, verse-by-verse study of the armor of God details the incredible protection that God has provided to His children. Even though we may not like discussing spiritual warfare, it is necessary because it is real. Spiritual warfare has the potential to rob us of peace and security only to leave behind doubt and unrest. But God offers protection to us – HIS protection. Journey through this study as we learn about the battle, our enemy, our armor and our place in God’s army. But most importantly, we come to know the rock solid truth that God has provided everything we need to proclaim ultimate victory.

The study comes as eight lessons on two DVDs. Included is an 85-page, color-print workbook.

Overflowing Abundance

Aside from the resurrection, Jesus’ feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. Even though Jesus dealt with doubting disciples, fatigue, personal grief, and limited resources, God desired to use that spring day to feed the masses with the Bread of Life.

The disciples find one boy willing to hand over his basket of provisions. Five loaves and two fish. Not nearly enough. Until they offer it to Jesus.

Through this 6-lesson DVD Bible study and workbook, we invite you to dig deep into Scripture to see a compelling picture of our compassionate Savior. Sometimes, in seasons of stress and brokenness, we keep our eyes down. Trudging forward. Never looking up to see our Provider.

Yet when Christ is present, the weary find rest and the hungry soul is satisfied. Come and be fed by the only One who provides for your every need and fills you … body and soul … with Overflowing Abundance.

Forgiveness: Received From God, Extended to Others

Forgiveness is always personal. It’s incredibly difficult to do. But it’s never optional.

When someone has offended us, the temptation to not forgive  is great. But the roots of unforgiveness and bitterness can grow deep in the human soul. Left alone, unforgiveness produces bitter fruit that shows itself in angry thoughts, words, and deeds. Eventually, it will destroy us from the inside out.

Through this study, you will learn of the rich, life-altering teachings God’s Word offers about forgiveness. Your heart will soften as you learn of Jesus’ forgiveness for you. And, most important, you’ll be encouraged to extend that same forgiveness to others.

Quenched: Christ’s Living Water for a Thirsty Soul

What quenches your thirst? Wealth or health? Career or activities? Or do these things still leave you with a certain level of dehydration?

Perhaps right now you’re experiencing a detour through a spiritual desert. Perhaps you see the dry, cracked road ahead and feel like giving up. Perhaps you’re new to Christianity and uncertain about how to live your new life in Christ. Take heart.

Jesus offers the goodness and grace that quenches. He shows you the path to streams of living water that will quench your soul s thirst. He doesn’t care where you’ve been. He doesn’t care what you’ve done. He cares about you.

Jesus is the Living Water that hydrates from the soul out. He said, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:13 14).

Quenched: Christ’s Living Water for a Thirsty Soul is for both new Christians and Christians going through spiritual dehydration. Author Donna Snow has been both new Christian and tired veteran Christian, so she writes from first-hand experience. Her been-there-done-that approach to affirmation and encouragement is welcomed by readers feeling confused or ashamed about living out their witness to Christ.

Regardless of the state you’re in, you will be lead to the life-giving waters of Christ’s grace, mercy, and hope. Snow writes with honesty and humor as she points readers to the Gospel message of forgiveness and salvation, and emphasizes that it is only Christ and His grace that quench the parched soul.
