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. Every session includes: • Questions, interpretation, and application of a passage to the topic • Personally focused "Your Response" question • "For Further Study" section that gives readers another passage to explore around the topic • Callouts that include language study, historical context, and illuminating quotes from commentaries

“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.

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.

Practical Instructions for Becoming Healthy ChristiansThe Corinthian church was proud and prosperous. For them, the Apostle Paul had a stern reminder: Genuine spiritual maturity is found not through status and recognition but through faith, hope, and love.

The Earliest Account of Jesus' Life! When Jesus came claiming to be the promised Messiah, the Jewish people were expecting a powerful warrior-king who would throw off their oppressors.

See What God Will Do When You Trust Him. Can trusting God change the world? Ruth and Esther, two young women who lived 600 years apart, would both say Yes.

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.
