Discovering God’s Good News For You: A Guide to Romans 1-8
A 5 week Stonecroft study of the Psalms
Why is God’s good news-the Gospel- good? How does believing God’s Word change people from the inside out, and what difference could that make in your life? Although everyone is separated from Him by sin, each one of us may freely gain a right relationship with Him simply by trusting His Son, Jesus. Each chapter includes questions to provoke your thinking and generate meaningful conversation, specific scripture verses to investigate, and prayers to connect you with God.

1 Peter, A Life Change Bible Study
A 13 week study from NavPress
Written to remind hard-pressed Christians of their identity in Christ. How do we persevere in the face of suffering? The first-century Christians found it hard to focus on their “living hope” because of the persecution they were facing. Peter wanted to remind these struggling Christians of their identity in Christ and encourage them to respond to their sufferings as Christ did. He doesn’t deliver abstract teachings, but applies the gospel to their daily lives. His words will connect with your own life as you study this heartfelt letter.
