Pathways to Spiritual Understanding is an all-in-one textbook, reference book and study guide that enables you to recognize even more of God's guiding hand in your life. The uncommon appeal of this unusual Bible study lies in its extraordinary ability to lay a solid foundation for helping you grow in faith. In it you'll find a treasure of spiritual insights on the purpose of life, the new birth, how to be born again, who's to be baptized, the purpose of baptism, why some prayers go unanswered, the secret to a successful prayer life, the principles of stewardship, who the Holy Spirit is and what His purpose is, what it means to be filled with the Spirit, and how Satan attacks you. From the moment you begin this study, you'll begin new growth as a Christian, and a journey that will take you to a new level of spiritual maturity.

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

The Sacred Pathways video study will help you learn: How you naturally express yourself in your relationship with God How to develop new ways of drawing near to him Key biblical figures who share your spiritual temperament How to understand others who connect with the Creator differently As believers in Christ, many of us today fall into the trap of thinking we have to approach God in a certain way.

Download Gospel Discipleship Congregation Guide Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Each congregation has a unique mission field. Several tools for developing disciples and for engaging in discipleship are available to churches; however, the resources assume that the churches using them are similar to the church that created them. With Gospel Discipleship, individuals and churches learn how to engage in self-reflection, which then defines a path that fits their context. The discipleship path for each individual disciple is assessed and determined through the Gospel Discipleship Participant Guide while this Gospel Discipleship Congregation Guide guides the implemntation of the program and assesses the discipleship path for the congregation as a whole. Therefore, the program leader(s) needs the congregation guide while individual particpants need their own participant guide. With Gospel Discipleship, churches can identify a pathway for discipleship applied from one of the four Gospel storytellers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each had a distinct approach to discipleship which can be applied to a given church's identity, vision, and mission. As disciples are encouraged by the church to step beyond the door and engage the needs of people, they can be sent forth confidently with an awareness of personal, unique gifts, and insights into the actual mission field where they participate with God in changing the world.

Welcome to Soul Food! In this 20 day study, Havilah takes you through the four meals of the Bible: the apple, bread & wine, milk & honey and fish & loaves. We will identify the particular soul hunger these meals expose in each of us. We'll then examine the consequences of not nourishing these needs. God provides a personal invitation for each of us to receive and eat each meal. God knows our needs before we do and He is the God of abundance. In fact, scripture tells us that He lays a feast for us in the presence of our enemy! He nourishes and provides for us when we are in need. Join her on this journey and dive deeper into the truth that when we "..taste and see" we discover "...that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8)
