Beautiful Word Bible Studies

Upcoming Bible study guide in the “Beautiful Word Bible Study” series based on the book of James and written by Margaret Feinberg.

You are fully embraced by Christ, and your life is rich in purpose. The book of Galatians is a passionate letter explaining what it really looks like to be a follower of Jesus Christ and how our freedom in him is certain. It's a letter that many of us urgently need to hear. In this video Bible study guide (video streaming included), Jada Edwards teaches the importance of knowing that you are wholly and fully accepted in Christ, by Christ, and through Christ. From your birth, God has called and chosen you-and now: • Because of God's authority, we don't need to seek the acceptance of man. • Because of God's approval, we aren't insecure or intimidated. • Because of God's freedom, we don't need to self-sabotage in order to cope. • Because of God's restoration, we can bring healing and restoration to others. As Jada walks you through Galatians, you'll see how the Apostle Paul delivers his very passionate and urgent assurance, helping you understand that once you place faith in Jesus, you are transformed. You are made new. You are forever part of the family of God. You are fully accepted, and you are free.

The book of Ephesians is about identity. It's about learning who we are, living who are, and then leveraging who we are. When we do that, we stop walking in defeat, and instead, walk with our heads held high. Too often, our shoulders slump under the weight of family struggles, financial stress, and feelings of insecurity. We are pushed down by insignificance, insecurity, and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, disappointment and discouragement. You are not meant to be under that burden any longer. You are a chosen child of God, saved by His grace, forgiven and free. It's time to walk with your head held high. In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lori Wilhite draws on her experience as the pastor's wife of a large congregation located in the town otherwise named 'Sin City' to share the truth of what Paul tells the Ephesians about unity and its direct reflection of our hearts, our focus, and our love for God. The Beautiful WordTM Bible Study Series helps you connect God's Word to your daily life through vibrant video teaching, group discussion, and deep personal study that includes verse-by-verse reading, Scripture memory, coloring pages, and encouragement to receive your own beautiful Word from God. In each study, a central theme-a beautiful word-threads throughout the book, helping you connect and apply each book of the Bible to your daily life today, and forever.

Romans shows us the power of the gospel to bring clarity to everyday life through faith in Christ. By writing Romans, Paul provides a comprehensive overview of God's plan for salvation and how to live within that amazing plan. In this eight-session video Bible study (video streaming included), Bible teacher Jada Edwards explores the Apostle Paul's expression of our faith in his letter to the Christians in Rome and what that gospel-driven faith looks like in practice: how we love people, how we make decisions, how we live in community, and how we foster unity with others.

Many of us spend our lives chasing happy. We chase happy in our relationships. We chase happy through our successes. We chase happy through the next adventure, our next paycheck, or the next escape. But maybe we've been chasing the wrong kind of happy. The book of Philippians shows us where true happiness and joy can be found. We find happy when we chase God's joy, His purpose, His encouragement, and His peace. Together, let's chase happy so we can discover the life of joy Jesus has for us.

What if God is saving the best for last? Of all the books of the Bible, Revelation is the one that mystifies and unsettles people the most. From numerical signs to monsters, the book of apocalypse in the Bible can be difficult to wrap our minds around, but the message that Revelation really brings is hope. In this six-session video Bible study (video streaming included), Bible teacher and author Margaret Feinberg digs into John's Revelation to show us how the final book of the Bible reminds us of God's power and promises during times of great suffering and persecution. In this study you will: • Uncover the supernatural power of Jesus' names and titles. • Be equipped with tactics on how to overcome the wily ways of the enemy. • Discover how to triumph through the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony. • Learn that, though life is not always fair, Jesus is NOT finished. John, the author of the book of Revelation, was blessed to see what each of us longs to know, and he gave us a descriptive and poignant expression of the place, the end, and the eternity that God has promised to us. God has indeed saved the best for last, and in Revelation's pages he gives us the one thing we all long for-hope, extravagant hope.

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!

You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all. We're not meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the first step toward truly knowing them. It's the same with God: we come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him. Join Megan Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven "I Am" statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know most about His character and love for us.
