Description:Do you desire to make time for Bible study, but struggle to actually sit down and do it? Do you spend time in God's Word, but come away feeling bored or frustrated? Would you like to dive deep into the Word of God and come up with your thirst for truth quenched, your spirit revived, and your head swirling with the mysteries of God? We will discuss approaches I have used during my last 15 years in ministry and some of my favorite insights from the Word of God.

Description:We probably sang this favorite Christmas hymn in the last few week--"ransom captive Israel" and "Rod of Jesse?" But did we get it? And did we notice that the song itself shares the Gospel? Using insights from Bible professor Scot McKnight's new book, The King Jesus Gospel, (plus others), we'll explore again how the Gospel we share today relates to Israel.

Description:The world often tells us that we should let our emotions guide our lives. The message of the Church is often, "You can't trust your emotions; they'll lead you astray...

Description:Are Twentysomethings expecting too much of work? They were raised to believe they could do anything, and now they're demanding more from work than previous generations ever did. Will they change the world or have to lower their sights?

If you are like me, you don't always see a loving God behind these actions. We're going to dive into the truth about God and HIs Love, and figure out why this understanding is crucial to our walks with Him.

Description:Every campus has that guy who calls down hell, fire, and brimstone on the drunks and fornicators. This approach to reaching students with the message of the gospel puts people on defence. They want to fight back.

Perfect for small group leaders, coarches, or apprecntices, and/or those who want to be campus staff.
