Treasuring God’s Word
Bible Studies
Six Lessons in Each study
Each lesson has four “parts” of guided study that make up the main content of the lesson.. A “Review and Reflect” section concludes each lesson, with review questions that are excellent small-group starter questions, as well as journaling prompts that allow you to prayerfully apply the lesson to your life.
Set Your Own Pace
Each study is divided into “lessons” and “parts,” rather than “weeks” and “days,” encouraging you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. “Go Deeper” sections in each lesson give those who wish to broaden their study skills a chance to expand on what is learned in the main content of the lesson.
Bonus Packet
Every study includes access to a downloadable bonus packet, which includes additional, optional study content, printable ESV text of the book we are studying, small group leader tips, printable charts, and more.
Habakkuk
Yet I Will Rejoice: An Inductive Bible Study of Habakkuk
How can I rejoice when life is painful?
Although it was written thousands of years ago, Habakkuk’s prayer reads as if it came from our headlines today. He looks around him, and he is inundated with scenes of violence, of injustice, of oppression. Where is God in this? Does He see? Does He hear? Does He know? Why is He silent?
Finally, the Lord responds. He takes Habakkuk on a journey of faith that challenges him and gives him a deeper understanding of our Lord’s person, His plans, and His power.
God’s response to Habakkuk is His response to us today, encouraging us to trust Him when life is falling apart. His challenge to us is to refocus our eyes on Him, and declare along with Habakkuk: Yet I Will Rejoice!
Philippians
Again I Say Rejoice! An Inductive Bible Study of Philippians
“I have learned the secret…”
Peace and joy are elusive. We find our thoughts assaulted in many ways: our finances, our interpersonal relationships, our search for truth, and even our own understanding of our identity and goals. We endlessly fall into cycles of worry and anxiety.
These struggles are nothing new. In a letter written two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul shares his heart with some beloved friends, helping them to move past their fears to find joy. Paul speaks from experience. He writes from imprisonment, forced to provide for himself with no means to do so, unable to go where he pleases, all while facing a very real possibility of execution, Yet his words to a young church that he loves dearly are filled with the repeated appeal—REJOICE!
How can he say this? What is his secret to joy? Discover the timeless wisdom that will transform your heart and your mind and fill you with a joy and a peace that you didn’t think was possible.
