Eagle (Student/Study Guide)
$13.95Add to cartIt’s a lovely thought that through one’s congregation we can gain, and also give to each other, help in times of despair. Paul wrote to his Thessalonian Christians: “Therefore encourage one another i 3/4 encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 4:18; 5:11). Ron Lavin illustrates this principle elegantly in the following chapters as he examines the passages in John’s gospel concerning the admonition not to despair.
The Bible contains some of the most comforting, reassuring words in history. Many of these timeless passages can be found in a single book: the gospel of John. Ron Lavin begins his series on the gospels by exploring John’s words of encouragement and how they still speak to us through the ages. The Eagle can be utilized in a Bible study or support group setting. It can also be used simply as a lifeline for people who need a ray of light to shine in their own personal darkness, carrying them on eagles’ wings to the light of God’s presence.

Beatitudes From The Back Side (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Add to cart11 Sessions
Additional Info
Using his method of approaching Bible passages from an unusual angle or a unique starting point, J. Ellsworth Kalas presents new insight into the beatitudes, Jesus’ blessings from the Sermon on the Mount.The book contains sessions and a study guide for personal use or for use in groups.
This book continues Kalas’ popular series of “Back Side” books.The beatitudes form the introduction to what is no doubt the best-known sermon ever preached. We call it the Sermon on the Mount (see Matthew 5-7), and of course it was preached by Jesus.
When we start examining the beatitudes we realize that in Jesus’ view, happiness is not something we get by pursuing it; indeed, almost the contrary. We are told that we will be happy-or blessed, if you prefer-in what appears to be the near antithesis of happiness. If we choose to live by the beatitudes, we make a declaration of dependence. We put ourselves into bondage to such things as poverty of spirit, purity of heart, and a readiness for persecution. This isn’t the sort of product they advertise on prime-time television; indeed, I’m not sure that it appears overly often in our prime-time worship services. That is because this is not a spiritual quick fix. It doesn’t come in a five-easy-lessons capsule. Instead, it is largely contrary to the way we live and to the way we think.
Before we go any further, however, let me say that over the past twenty centuries a very great many people have found in these beatitudes a depth of peace and joy beyond anything our common culture promotes and seeks. But it isn’t easy, and it isn’t obvious. There’s nothing easy or soft about this kind of dependence. Rather, it is an attitude that demands a huge store of courage. It’s the kind of dependence the trapeze artist displays when he or she lets go of the bar and with no safety net awaiting, flies off into space, trusting.
Welcome to the beatitudes. And may you be eternally happy, beginning now.

Anger is one letter short of danger. If allowed to smolder and ignite, the fires of anger can quickly burn out of control and cause great damage. The heat of anger will destroy your peace of mind. It will damage your body. It will devastate important relationships in your life. And worst of all, it can create a sin-barrier between you and God.Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, we no longer have to be victimized by sinful anger. We can be victors over this powerful and deadly force. Controlling the Fires of Anger will help you to understand your anger and formulate a plan to overcome it that is based on biblical principles. Without one, we are easily controlled by the evil one.
It’s time! Enough pain has been suffered. Enough damage has been done. We must open God’s Word and learn Christian “mad skills.” It is time to tap the powerful resources that God makes available to us so that we can learn “to be angry and sin not.” (Ephesians 4:26-27)

Images Of The Spirit (Student/Study Guide)
$12.00Add to cartHow do you picture the Holy Spirit?
Our imagination is likely to run to something like a vague fuzzy cloud. Or perhaps we think of an invisible, impersonal force. No wonder the Holy Spirit is often called “it.” While Christians affirm that the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, we struggle to think of him as a person at all.
The Bible is clear that the Holy Spirit is a person. But how can human beings understand who he is? Scripture helps us by giving us strong word pictures of the Spirit as wind, fire, a counselor, anointing oil and more. As you go through these eight Bible studies by Dale and Sandy Larsen, you will find that your mental picture of the Spirit comes into focus. And even better, you will find that you can have a real relationship with the third person of the Trinity as you experience the power, comfort and gifts that flow out from the Spirit.
