The truth is we all need to be forgiven. The Bible makes it painfully clear that every one of us has built up an enormous debt of sin to God. Christians rejoice in the forgiveness we receive from God, but when we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship? This study guide follows two themes – God’s forgiveness of us and our forgiveness of others. As you understand more about God’s gracious forgiveness of you, your own capacity to forgive will be expanded and strengthened.

Forgiveness: Making peace with the past

Adele Ahlberg Calhoun

Ask a woman about love and you are likely to hear about heartbreak. Ask about her identity, and shame and frustration leak out. Ask about rest and enjoyment, and you will hear laments about time and busyness. We live a small fraction of the life God has for us. The Bible stories in this study follow the journeys of women such as Sarai, Puah and Shiphrah, Ruth, Hagar, Naomi, Hannah and Mary, who learned in the crucible of hardships that God’s invitation to them was to live wholehearted lives.

Women & Identity

For some Christians, listening to God is a constant inner tuning to nudges from the Spirit as we go about our day. Others seem to hear God mostly through Scripture. How did the people of the Bible, like Hagar, Moses, Solomon and John, hear God? Ten studies from the Old and New Testaments encourage us to learn about the spiritual discipline of listening to God.

Listening to God

Juanita Ryan

The purpose of this study guide is to seek answers to questions such as how can we learn to live centred in God's loving presence, in a way that allows all our activity to flow from that centre? How can we experience this change of heart that will allow us to know God's presence with us in the midst of the busyness of our lives? 
The answers are taken from Scripture. We will listen as Jesus calls us to live with eyes wide open to what matters most in life, even as we entrust ourselves to God's care so we can live in the present, where God is with us, providing for us. We will hear the invitation to draw the strength we need for the day from God, the Source of all life. We will learn to open ourselves throughout the day to God as we seek God's wisdom, express our gratitude and begin to rest and rely more deeply in God 's presence with us. We will explore ways of conversing with God in the midst of the whirlwind of life and come to see our day's work as a labour of love for God and as the joyful service of kneeling before all others with Jesus.

Busyness: Finding God in the Whirlwind

In the book of Mark we meet Jesus, the man who is king. He shatters our expectations. He comes to serve and not to be served. He eats with sinners rather than royalty. And his crown is made of thorns. This is the one who calls us to follow him. 
This revised LifeBuilder Bible Study has new questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection as well as expanded leader's notes and an extra 'Now or Later' section in each study.

Mark: Follow me

A permissive society, a power-hungry people, a nation without God – Daniel’s situation in Babylon sounds something like our own. In the midst of secular forces, how can we remain true to biblical values? How can we have a positive impact on those around us? Daniel is a great role model – a man who rose to prominence without compromising his beliefs.

Daniel: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Dale Larsen

Many Bible studies of the book of Ruth focus on the life and character of Ruth herself. Ruth takes a more comprehensive view of the book as a whole. While the book is named for Ruth, and she is prominent in the action, other significant players populate the drama: Naomi, Elimelek, Mahlon, Kilion, Orpah, Boaz, an unnamed guardian-redeemer, reapers, elders, neighbours. All have their share of importance in the historical narrative.
What does the book of Ruth have to do with us today? Although Ruth and Boaz are mentioned in the New Testament only in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5), Christians have long seen in the book of Ruth a foreshadowing of our redemption through Christ. As Ruth and Naomi were destitute, with no status and no hope, we were in spiritual poverty and could not rescue ourselves. Like them, we were in need of a guardian-redeemer who would come to our aid. As Boaz in love intervened and took responsibility to save Ruth and Naomi, Christ in love has become our ultimate Redeemer who assumes the burden of our need and gives us a place in his kingdom.

Ruth: Rescued by the Redeemer

Eugene Peterson

Psalms: Prayers of the Heart

Phyllis Le Peau

Sometimes our lives seem powerless. Not so for the people of the early church. Jesus transformed their lives - and they changed the world! The power that we see in action in the book of Acts is the same power that can transform our lives.

Acts: Seeing God's Power in Action

Lydia shows us how to influence the people around us. Elizabeth's life challenges us to care for others.

Sermon on the Mount

Jack Kuhatschek

We desperately need role models today - people who allow us to be fully human yet inspire us to look beyond our weaknesses to the living God. David is such a person. His struggles with sin are infamous, and the Psalms reveal his anguish and doubts. Yet he is also described as 'a man after God's own heart' - the champion of Israel. As you explore the life of David, you will discover what it means to have a passionate heart for God.

Jesus' Final Week

Patty Pell

How we parent comes from who we are. The way we treat our children and the ways we respond in the joyful and the challenging aspects of being mothers are a reflection of our faith and our discipleship in the Lord Jesus. These studies will help us let God use the context of motherhood to form and shape us into the women he has created us to be, deepening who we are as people, as followers of Jesus and as parents.

Motherhood: Being Grounded in Christ

Jesus made some sweeping claims for himself - outrageous but true! This study guide examines the 'I am' statements, mainly from the Gospel of John. But the eight sessions go beyond a study of ancient words to a consideration of how these claims can transform our lives today. What does it mean for Jesus to say he is the Bread of Life? That he is the Light? What do these dramatic claims tell us about the power and character of Jesus? And how might that impact our lives each day? The study guide is produced in a useful workbook format and includes helpful notes for group leaders.
