Becoming Like Jesus Is a Journey God wants to transform your thoughts and your actions so you will bear good fruit, impact the world, and experience joy in your life. But for this to happen, you must remain in community with Christ so he can instill his life-giving spiritual virtues within you. As you do this on an ongoing basis – abiding in the presence of Jesus on a daily basis – the more spiritual fruit you will produce. Be Like Jesus reveals how practicing these spiritual virtues, when embraced in your heart and mind, will lead you in fulfilling your mission to not only think and act like Jesus . . . but actually be like Jesus. This study guide includes video teaching notes, group discussion questions, case studies, personal reflection questions, and Scripture readings. Sessions include: How Does God Want Me to Love Others? What Will Give Me True Joy? How Do I Find Real Peace? How Does God Free Me from Sinful Habits? How Can I Maintain Hope During Hardships? How Can I Be Patient with Others? Why Should I Be Loyal to Others? How Can I Be Considerate of Others? Designed for use with the Be Like Jesus digital video or DVD, sold separately. Adapted from Part 3 of the Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

Randy Frazee teaches you and your group how to confidently know what you believe and how to dig into Scripture to see for yourself the biblical foundation for those beliefs. Think about the last time someone put you on the spot and questioned what this whole Christianity thing is all about. Maybe they asked you why going to church matters, or how you could possibly believe the Bible, or how God could really care if there's so much bad happening in the world. Do you feel unsettled by questions like these? In this 8-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), you'll dig into eight key beliefs about a Jesus-follower's relationship with God and with others. And you'll explore the answers to essential questions like: Who Is God? Does God Care About Me? How Do I Have a Relationship with God? How Does the Bible Guide My Life? Who Am I in Christ? What Is the Purpose of the Church? How Does God Value People? What Is Eternity Going to Be Like? This study is adapted from the Think portions of the Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee. It’s designed for use with the Think Like Jesus Video Study (9780310118558) available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

Randy Frazee walks you and your group through the spiritual workouts we need every day to develop a lifestyle of loving God and loving others. We all want to live more like Jesus lived, but simply wanting to and trying harder isn't enough. To truly become like Jesus, our beliefs need to not only inform us but also transform us. It is the practice of reaching up to God and out to others that will drive beliefs from our head to our heart. Act Like Jesus teaches the life-giving spiritual disciplines that will lead us in fulfilling our mission to love God and love our neighbor. In this 8-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), you'll develop practices such as: How to pray more deeply and attentively. How to develop lasting, Christ-centered relationships. How to share your faith with authenticity. And you'll explore the answers to essential questions like: How do I worship God? How much of my life does God want? How do I use my money to serve God? What spiritual gifts has God given me? This study is adapted from the Act portions of the Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee. It's designed for use with the Act Like Jesus Video Study (9780310119050) available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

The Walking with God series was developed as the curriculum for small groups at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois. Since its release in 1992, it has been used by churches and small groups to help raise up devoted disciples of Christ. Group members who work through the program will lay a solid foundation for a lifelong walk with God. While small groups may be formed for a variety of purposes, the goal of this curriculum is for groups to produce disciples—fully devoted followers of Christ—by studying God’s Word in community. To this end, the goal of the study is to produce disciples who walk with God, have a personal relationship with Jesus, and live in step with the Holy Spirit. It is also to produce believers who live the Word in all areas of life and contribute to the work that God is doing in the local church. Ultimately, the goal is to develop believers who impact the world and are prepared and eager to spread the good news of Christ to others. This material will help develop these attributes in group members. Each lesson includes group Bible study and discussion questions in addition to devotions, reflections, and personal study for use by individuals between the group sessions.

The Story group Bible study provides groups of all sizes the opportunity to discuss and apply what they experience during the 31-week The Story church campaign. To understand the Bible, says Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that puts the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural. In 31 sessions, The Story video-based group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible’s characters and in your own life. Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s. The Story Study Guide and DVD (sold separately) are designed for use by groups of all sizes, including small groups and Sunday school and adult education classes. Designed for use with The Story Adult Curriculum Study DVD (9780310329527) sold separately.

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. In this 8-session video Bible study (streaming included), enter the culmination of God's complex plan to deliver his people in the person of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Salvation is what the story of the Bible is all about: the final goal of God's narrative. But throughout the Bible, there are two parallel dramas unfolding: The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective. The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God's perspective. The goal of the God the Savior Bible study is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the New Testament. As you read these stories—featuring characters such as Mary and Joseph, the Twelve Disciples, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and the central figure, Jesus Christ—you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

Engage in the work of Jesus and His Church in new and exciting ways. In the book of Acts, we see God’s church growing and taking shape—setting itself apart from the culture of hatred and excess surrounding it and becoming a revolution of hope to a broken world. Today, we are writing the last chapter of Acts in our own lives… In this six-week Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this “revolution of faith.” You’ll trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth—encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.

Journey through the biblical stories of the early Christian movement, and see what kind of wild adventures await those who truly believe Jesus. Throughout the book of Acts, believing Jesus and what he said is the core value that marked every believer in the first church. Because they believed Jesus, the early Christians were willing to risk everything—their comfort, their homes, even their lives. In this eight-session video Bible study (streaming included), Lisa Harper launches into the book of Acts to discover how Jesus' command to spread the gospel changed the lives of those who believed and shaped the culture that surrounded the growing church. At the end of this journey together, not only will you have studied this wild, adventurous, risk-taking book of the Bible; but you'll see how God supernaturally orchestrated the events in Scripture to bring about the message of salvation that the early believers preached. Today, we are faced with the same risks. Will we truly believe the words of Jesus and allow them to transform every part of our lives?
