Women of the New Testament
A Bible Study on How Followers of Jesus Transcended Culture and Transformed Communities
by Various Authors
Part of the LifeChange (Various) series
“LifeChange Bible” studies train you in good Bible study practices as you enjoy a robust and engaging topical study. Learn the skill as you study the Word. Your study of the Scriptures will never be the same!
Women are everywhere in the New Testament. They follow and serve Jesus, seek Him for healing, and play creative and essential roles in the early church. For much of our history, however, their stories have been mediated and interpreted through a male-centric lens. This may mean that you will be surprised when you see what an active and courageous role women played in the days when Jesus and His apostles announced the arrival of the Kingdom of God and the role Jesus continues to invite all of His disciples into today.
In this “LifeChange” study guide, we will study how Jesus welcomes marginalized and culturally neglected people as disciples, publicly affirms their faith as examples for others, and empowers them to lead and use their gifts. Over the course of 8 sessions, we will learn about...
• Mary and Elizabeth
• The Samaritan Woman
• The Bleeding Woman
• The Canaanite Woman
• Martha
• Mary of Bethany
• Mary Magdalene
• The Women of Romans
The “LifeChange” studies are optimized for small group use. Every study is broken down into 8—9 sessions of about 45 minutes. Each session includes:
• Questions, interpretation, and application of a passage to the topic
• Personally focused "Your Response" question

Who Jesus Is
A Bible Study on the "I Am" Statements of Christ
by Various Authors
Part of the LifeChange (Various) series
When you ask people today who they think Jesus is, you will get a variety of answers. Some will reply that Jesus was the greatest teacher who ever lived. Others will say he was a wonderful moral example, a prophet, or even the Son of God. But when you ask these same people whether they have ever read the first-century accounts about Jesus' life and ministry in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), many will admit that they have not read them. So their views of Jesus often reflect who they want him to be, not who he really is.
In this LifeChange topical Bible study we look at eight amazing "I Am" statements Jesus made about himself. Each one reveals that the Messiah and Savior is far greater and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Jesus wants every Christian to know who he is and what he has done for us. This LifeChange topical Bible study helps you achieve that goal.

Leviticus & Numbers
by David W. Baker
Part of the LifeChange (Various) series
The books of Leviticus and Numbers are not easy to study. For one thing, no book of the Old Testament presents a greater challenge to the modern reader than Leviticus, which requires imagination to picture the ceremonies that form the bulk of the book. But, it is important to understand the rituals in Leviticus because, first, they enshrine and teach values and ideas that a society holds most dear. Second, these values are foundational for understanding New Testament concepts of sin, sacrifice, and atonement related to the death of Christ. The book of Numbers recounts the long and eventful stretch of time spent by the people of Israel near Mount Sinai, where God prepared them for entering the Promised Land. But their journey is sidetracked for four decades spent in the wilderness.

1, 2, and 3 John
by Karen H. Jobes
Part of the LifeChange (Various) series
Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament brings together commentary features rarely gathered in one volume. Written by notable evangelical scholars, each volume treats the literary context and structure of the passage in the original Greek, and each author provides an original translation based on the literary structure. The series consistently provides the main point, an exegetical outline, verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in application in each section of every commentary. Critical scholarship informs each step but does not dominate the commentary, allowing readers to concentrate on the biblical author's message as it unfolds. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Greek, all who strive to understand and teach the New Testament will find these books beneficial. The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series covers the entire New Testament in twenty volumes; Clinton E. Arnold serves as general editor.1-3 John. In her commentary on John's letters, Karen H. Jobes writes to bridge the distance between academic biblical studies and pastors, students, and laypeople who are looking for an in-depth treatment of the issues raised by these New Testament books. She approaches the three letters of John as part of the corpus that includes John's gospel, while rejecting an elaborate redactional history of that gospel that implicates the letters. Jobes treats three major themes of the letters under the larger rubric of who has the authority to interpret the true significance of Jesus, an issue that is pressing in our religiously pluralistic society today with its many voices claiming truth about God.

A Church Divided. The church in Corinth was divided, and Paul, their founding pastor, found himself defending his ministry to them. False teachers had begun spreading lies accusing Paul of selfish motives. But Paul saw this division for what it was-a threat to the gospel of Jesus. Paul wrote this second letter to remind the Corinthians how he'd worked among them.
