Discovery Bible Study
Many Christians spend their lives trying to act right, think right, and pray right--based on what they've heard God expects--only to end up frustrated, burned out, and wondering, "Is this really what God wants for His children?" Other believers face a perpetual wrestling match with guilt, doubts, and questions about their faith.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Many of us rely on secondhand information to understand the kind of relationship God wants with us, instead of looking to the Scriptures to see what He says. Yet if we take a closer look, we find that He has given us the answers to many of our deepest questions in His Word. Discovery addresses many of these questions, guiding readers through Old and New Testament passages to find the answers we yearn for. Thoughtful questions at the end of each chapter help us take the next step--moving "head knowledge" to "heart knowledge" as we discover how God's answers apply personally to our lives.
Designed for groups, but also practical for individual use, Discovery helps redirect those who have grown up knowing about the Lord, but who have not experienced the deep, meaningful relationship He wants with them. And for new believers, this study will help them begin their walk with God on the right foot. All believers can experience joy, peace, and a sense of God's love, even in the midst of a question-filled, sin-affected, and seemingly unfair world.
Discovery addresses these important questions:
- What kind of relationship does God want with me?
- Do I matter to God?
- Is God really in control?
- Does God have a purpose for my life?
- How does God really see me?
- What does it mean to abide?
- What is my part and what is God's part?
- How should I respond to difficult circumstances?
- How can I know God's will?
- How should I pray?
- How do I know if my faith is growing?
"This study changed my entire perspective on my circumstances, decisions, and expectations. I still find myself applying its principles on a daily basis."
--Kim McCauley, The Navigators, Colorado Springs, Colorado
"You're teaching things here that every Christian needs to be equipped with. I want to be able to share with others these fundamental truths, things that would have changed my life years ago if I would have understood them."
--Linda Bolin, Fair Grove, Missouri
