The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, You Were Made for This Moment includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. Join Max Lucado on a journey through the book of Esther as he reminds us that God need not be loud to be strong, he need not cast a shadow to be present...and he is active even when he appears distant. This study was born in a hard season—a pandemic that locked down the world. Church doors closed. Students were stuck at home. Masks hid smiles. And as if this weren't enough, the ancient sin of racism and hatred seems to be trying to undo us. Many of us are left wondering if this season will ever pass. To all these things, God has a six-letter word of encouragement: E-S-T-H-E-R. The book that bears her name was written to be read in hard seasons. It was crafted for those who feel outnumbered by foes, outmaneuvered by fate, and outdone by fear. In the You Were Made for This Moment five-session audio Bible study, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado presents the story of Esther in all its drama, urgency, and hope. Esther's is a story that reaches out of the past to our present circumstances with a singular message: God is present, and he will act. It's a story that demands from us a singular response: what will we do when he does? Sessions include: - Cozy in the Culture (Esther 1:1–2:18) - A Moment of Decision (Esther 2:19–4:14) - Heaven Set in Motion (Esther 4:15–6:14) - The God of Great Turnarounds (Esther 7:1–8:17) - Remembering God's Faithfulness (Esther 9:1–10:3)

What Happens Next: A Traveler’s Guide Through the End of This Age

Are we living in the end times? If so, what does that mean for me? Max Lucado's optimistic, accessible, and non-sensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's timeline will empower readers to face the future with faith. Seven years of chaos called the Tribulation. A cruel and cunning Antichrist. The dreaded battle of Armageddon. These images and ideas associated with prophecy can be stimulating but also unnecessarily scary. Max Lucado believes God wants us to be prepared, not scared. In his first book exploring the end of this age, Max provides a wise, well-researched, and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety. Max explores four big ideas that will provide a solid foundation for understanding God's plans and will remind us that we are headed to a far better place than where we started. He explains that - we were made to reign with Christ; - God has made and will keep his promises; - heaven has a timeline; and - a golden era, the millennium, awaits God's children. In a world filled with political tension, personal trials, and international turbulence, we find ourselves drawn to exploring what happens next on heaven's timeline. Whether readers find themselves in the 'I can't wait,' 'I'm almost ready,' or 'I'm not sure about all of this' camp, they will be encouraged to ponder God's plans and promises for the future. In Max's signature encouraging style, he reminds us, 'It's all about hope. It's all about him.'

¿Estamos viviendo el final de los tiempos? Si es así, ¿qué significa eso para mí? La guía optimista, accesible y no sensacionalista de Max Lucado sobre lo que dice la Biblia acerca de la línea temporal del cielo capacitará a los lectores para afrontar el futuro con fe. Siete años de caos llamados la Tribulación. Un Anticristo cruel y astuto. La temida batalla de Armagedón. Estas imágenes e ideas asociadas a la profecía pueden ser estimulantes, pero también innecesariamente aterradoras. Max Lucado cree que Dios quiere que estemos preparados, no asustados. En su primer libro que explora el final de esta era, Max ofrece una visión sabia, bien documentada y tranquilizadora de lo que la Palabra de Dios tiene que decir sobre un tema que a menudo crea confusión y ansiedad. En Lo que sucederá después, Max explora cuatro grandes ideas que proporcionarán una base sólida para comprender los planes de Dios y nos recordarán que nos dirigimos a un lugar mucho mejor que aquel en el que empezamos. Explica que - fuimos creados para reinar con Cristo; - Dios ha hecho y cumplirá sus promesas - el cielo tiene un calendario; y - a los hijos de Dios les espera una era dorada, el milenio. En un mundo lleno de tensiones políticas, pruebas personales y turbulencias internacionales, nos sentimos atraídos por explorar qué ocurre a continuación en la línea temporal del cielo. Tanto si los lectores se encuentran en el bando de 'no puedo esperar', 'estoy casi preparado' o 'no estoy seguro de todo esto', se sentirán animados a reflexionar sobre los planes y promesas de Dios para el futuro. Con el característico estilo alentador de Max, nos recuerda: 'Todo es cuestión de esperanza. Todo gira en torno a Él'. What Happens Next Are we living in the end times?

What Happens Next: Audio Bible Studies: A Traveler’s Guide through the End of This Age

Do you view the events of the end of the age through the eyes of fear or through the eyes of faith and hope? In this audio Bible study, Max Lucado provides a wise and reassuring overview of what God's word has to say on the topic of end times-so that you can be prepared, not scared. Why think about the end times at all? Why occupy your thoughts with the 'not yet' when you have enough to deal with in the 'right now'? The answer is simple: because Jesus focused on the end times. So, if Jesus made the end times a priority, it only makes sense that his followers would as well. God has told us what to expect from the end times not to scare you but to prepare you. He is like a pilot on the intercom telling the passengers about impending turbulence. A good pilot keeps his travelers informed. Your good Father does the same!

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails: Audio Bible Studies: Love is Born, Hope is Here

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails is a collection of two audio Bible studies for Christmas and Easter by Max Lucado. Because of Bethlehem Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it's like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we know he doesn't say, 'Clean up before you come in.' He offers, 'Come in and I'll clean you up.' Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record... just grace. In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will help you: - Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. - Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope. - Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done. - Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you. He Chose the Nails The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more. In this Easter season study, Max will help you: - Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. - Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. - Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him. - Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.

Could you benefit from an encounter with God's unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion? If your answer is yes, it's time for you to see how God's grace transformed Jacob's life. And if you feel undeserving of God's grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God's perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.

No one is more suited to help assure you of God's grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience.

[Spanish] - Dios nunca se da por vencido contigo: Lo que la historia de Jacob nos enseña sobre la gr

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez si tienes demasiados tropiezos para que Dios utilice a alguien como tú? Si te puede beneficiar una historia de la gracia y la devoción incesante, indoblegable e inquebrantable de Dios, entonces la historia de Jacob es justo lo que necesitas. Dios nunca se da por vencido contigo es para los luchadores entre nosotros y para los ineptos que llevamos dentro. Para los que somos en parte santos y en parte sinvergüenzas. Tenemos buenas intenciones, pero ¿lo hacemos bien? Bueno, no siempre. Tenemos avances, sin duda, pero también fracasos, a menudo en la misma hora. No necesitamos que nos los recuerden. No los hemos olvidado. Sin embargo, podríamos usar un curso de actualización sobre el plan perfecto de Dios para utilizar a personas imperfectas. Y nadie es más adecuado para la tarea que Jacob, el patriarca que se portó mal. Era menos un prodigio y más un pródigo. Fuerte en inteligencia. Con poca conciencia. Dios utilizó a Jacob porque eligió utilizar a Jacob. Y punto. ¿La palabra para tal devoción? Gracia. La gracia vino tras Jacob. La gracia lo encontró en el desierto. La gracia lo protegió en el exilio. La gracia le hizo caer al suelo y le bendijo. La gracia lo llevó a su casa en Canaán. La historia de Jacob nos invita a creer en un Dios que se queda con los indignos y los que no alcanzan el éxito hasta que estamos a salvo en casa. En la descarga del PDF del audiolibro se incluye una guía de estudio. God Never Gives Up on You Ever wonder if you have one too many stumbles for God to use someone like you?

Grace found him in the desert. Grace protected him in exile. Grace wrestled him to the ground and blessed him. Grace led him home to Canaan. Jacob's story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy and underachievers until we are safely at home.
