A Jesus-Shaped Life: Audio Bible Studies: How Biblically Sound Theology Deepens Our Relationship Wit

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it's not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words (logos) about God (theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives-our good, loving, and grace-filled God. With her signature style and humor, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into seven life-changing conversations about the God we so love. Lisa makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator. Dive deep into the word of God in this seven-session Bible study and learn how your theology is your Jesus-shaped life. If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it's time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide! The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

The Promise and Power of Easter: Audio Bible Studies: Captivated by the Cross and Resurrection of Je

The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross. The first person who officially acknowledged the deity of Jesus by referring to Him as the Son of God wasn't one of the disciples or someone He healed, it was the Roman military officer who presided over His crucifixion. That centurion never got to watch our Redeemer heal a leper or walk on water. The only thing he watched Jesus do was die. And it changed the trajectory of his life because he realized only the King of all kings would choose to lay down His crown and be crushed on behalf of His people. Since that Good Friday over 2,000 years ago, Christianity is the only religion in the world whose belief system centers around a Savior who suffered. We're the only ones who place our hope in a deity who's so radically compassionate, He was willing to die so that we could live. Many of us live knowing a lot but living a bit like we don't know much at all. The difference between performance and devotion is rarely defined by outward behavior. The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross. We can all relate to the lengths we go to for those we love. And our Redeemer went to lengths that leave us in awestruck gratitude. That's what this study is about. Taking the time to remember the reality and result of our unconditional transformative redemption! When your heart becomes more cognizant of what took place on that old, rugged cross everything changes. In this four-week Bible study taught by Christine Caine and Lisa Harper, we will remember together what led up to the cross and join hands in awesome celebration of the restoration we received when Jesus rose again. What a gift to reflect and rise together in the Lord's power and glory!

The Promise and Power of Easter: Audio Bible Studies: Remembering the Reason for Jesus’ Resurrection

This is a wake-up call to WONDER . . . peel off your emotional Spanx and become re-gospeled by the truism of Immanuel-of God. With. Us. Remember when your eyes used to well up with tears whenever you sang, Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king that first Sunday after Thanksgiving? What happened to the starry eyes we used to have only for Jesus? One of my mentors, pastor and professor Scotty Smith, wryly observes that far too many Christ-followers are like Cinderella with amnesia. We've forgotten that the supernatural scaffolding of our belief system isn't a human construct but is instead a divine love story wherein the King of all kings willingly sets aside His scepter in Glory, shrugs into a suit of skin, and condescends to be born in a cattle trough in order to capture our fickle human hearts. If a warm embrace and a double shot of caffeine got married and had a baby, it would be this Bible study because participants will be both enveloped in the Living Hope of Christ Incarnate and compelled to share that hope with other image bearers!

Seen, Secure, Free: How a Life Hidden with Christ Strengthens and Transforms You

In a world that screams Be Seen! Be Known! and often measures value by likes and shares and follows, it's easy to feel invisible, unheard, unloved. But God's Word offers a powerful and freeing counternarrative: true treasure is actually found in the 'hidden' life of Christ. Somewhere along the way, we've confused our level of visibility with our value. We've mixed up fame with fruitfulness. We've equated exposure with excellence. But what if we stopped trying so hard to be seen, recognized, and affirmed by the world around us? What if there's a different way of living altogether? Seen, Secure, Free unpacks the great promise in Colossians 3:3: 'Your life is hidden with Christ in God' and reminds us that when God hides us in himself, he provides a non-negotiable, never-ending source of contentment, identity, and worth. Join Bible teacher Allison Allen as she explores the incredible power of hiddenness in nature, history, and Scripture, which will help you: - Let go of the pressure to be recognized and praised by others; - Release the resentment that comes from feeling unseen or misunderstood; - Find contentment in a loving God who knows you deeply; - Find security in a powerful God who establishes your identity, worth, and purpose; - Reset your motivations and goals to align with his kingdom; and - Feel freed to pursue new adventures with Jesus No more striving to be seen or wondering if you matter; no more pressure to perform or be visible to the world. Instead, rest assured that God truly sees, knows, and loves you more than any person ever could. And let him lead you into the freedom, joy, and transformative power of a life hidden in him.

Luke: Audio Bible Studies: Gut-Level Compassion

PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED Many of us believe that we aren't good enough to meet other people's expectations. Maybe you can't wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade you present in public, it's there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we're not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this audio Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn't celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked! Sessions and Run Times: - Outliers, Outcasts, and the Outrageous Mercy of God (26:00) - Worship in the Waiting (25:00) - Uphill Glory (29:00) - Gut-Level Compassion (27:00) - The Tender Heart of Obedience (32:00) - A Beautiful Unbending (31:00) - A Most Radical Restoration (31:00) - A Tale of Two Rooms (31:00) The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

The Sacrament of Happy: What a Smiling God Brings to a Wounded World

Imagine hearing your physician tell you that chips and queso contain more nutritional benefits than kale and quinoa. Or opening an envelope that looks like just another bill, and unfolding instead an official document declaring you the sole beneficiary of an anonymous billionaire's estate.In her new book, The Sacrament of Happy: Surprised by the Secret of Genuine Joy, Lisa Harper unveils a similarly extravagant, unexpected surprise, declaring that happiness, just plain feeling happy, is a gift from God that you can unashamedly enjoy.Wearing the twin hats of seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mom, Harper delivers a warm, vignette style built upon solid theological scaffolding. She observes, for example, that God's choice of wording for the first verse of the first psalm (a word often translated as blessed ) literally means happy, one of many biblical reasons for dismantling the old-school idea that joy, not happiness, is the truly spiritual one of the Christian family. In truth, they're more like fraternal twins than distant cousins, meaning we as Christ-followers are not called to jettison happiness, like a no-longer-needed set of spiritual floaties, as we learn to swim in the deep waters of intimacy with God. Beyond merely a circumstances-based, up-and-down emotion, happiness comes from a deep conviction in the unmitigated goodness of our Creator-Redeemer, freeing us to feel and express genuine joy, fulfillment, and contentment, regardless of personal or global tumult.The author's personal story includes such happiness killers as sexual abuse, the deaths of near loved ones, a heartbreaking failed adoption, followed by the arrival of an adopted daughter from Haiti who is HIV-positive. Yet she writes on themes like: The lost sacrament of laughter , Does happy have a personality type? , Tuning out the Pharisees who try to mute your happiness in the context of spiritual maturity. So this is obviously not a book of trite, untested clichés. It goes well beneath most people's surface understanding of happiness, gently guiding readers closer to the heart of God . . . with naturally a few genuine laughs and grins to enjoy along the way.
