1. Elijah: Faith and Fire

About the Study: Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity.

Why We Like It: This 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now. A leader kit is available for group studies. Download a free sample!

3. The Armor of God

About the Study: It is unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

Why We Like It: The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure your victory.

4. Gideon: Your Weakness. God's Strength.

About the Study: This study will encourage you to recognize your weakness as the key that the Lord gives you to unlock the full experience of His strength in your life. In what ways do you feel insufficient? Those places create the greatest opportunity to experience the sufficiency of God. Instead of ignoring, neglecting or trying to escape your weaknesses, see them as the gifts that they are, given specifically and strategically by God to unlock the door of God's strength.

Why We Like It: When you hear the name "Gideon," you may think about his 300 soldiers or the fleece he laid out under the evening sky. But Gideon's story is bigger than any one man and his mark on Israel's history. From a state of fear, weakness and insecurity, Gideon emerged as Israel's hero, filled with God's presence and His passion for deliverance. Download a free sample!

5. Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted

About the Study: The prophet Jonah's existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! This seven session study redefines "interruption" and shows how it can be God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams.

Why We Like It: Interruption are aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves. Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. Download a free sample!
