Discovery Place is open and we would love to help you find a resource to study, either in a group as churches re-open, or for your own personal use. As the pandemic continues, there is much uncertainty and anxiety about the future. Consider the following resources which provide assurance of God’s power, presence, and provision.
Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World, by Max Lucado. Do you feel weighed down with worry? Does the uncertainty of life keep you up at night? Is fear your constant companion? Could you use some peace? Anxious for Nothing explores God’s promises in Philippians 4:4-8 and shows that while anxiety is part of life, it does not have to dominate life. You can stop letting anxiety rule your day and find true calm and contentment in Christ. (5 sessions. Includes DVD, study guide, and hardcover book.)
Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times, by Adam Hamilton. Jesus said, “Do not be afraid.” For anyone struggling with fear, worry, or anxiety, Unafraid offers an inspiring message full of practical solutions. You can learn to identify fears and discover practical steps for overcoming them, all in the light of Scripture. (5 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and hardcover book.)
Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear, by Max Lucado. Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear: layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, uncertainty in the housing market, upswings in global warming, and a multitude of other troublesome issues. Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, discussion guide, leader guide, and CD-ROM.)
Goliath Must Fall: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants, by Louie Giglio. It is likely you have a giant in your life. It is holding you captive, intimidating you, and stealing your joy. Adversaries such as fear, anger, and addiction can stake a claim and gain a foothold in your heart. How can you live as if these giants are dead and silenced forever? In Goliath Must Fall Louie Giglio examines the David and Goliath story to show you how: by focusing on the size of our God, not the height of your giants. As they go down, you gain freedom to walk in the victory Christ has already won. (6 sessions. Includes DVD and study guide.)
Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives on the Promises of God, by Max Lucado. In this study we learn that when we belong to God, we can filter our problems through the promises of God. The stories of the men and women in Scripture were different, but the theme was the same: they were People of the Promise. Like them, we can also build our lives on God’s promises, and trust Him to keep them. (12 sessions. Includes DVD, study guide, and hardcover book.)
You Are Never Alone, by Max Lucado. Each of us longs for Someone who will meet us amidst life’s messes. We want to believe in a living, loving, miracle-working God who does not hesitate to step into the thorny thickets of our world and lift us out. In You Are Never Alone, Max Lucado reminds us that we only need to look at the miracles of Jesus in the Gospel of John to know this is true. As we do, we will find Jesus is right there with us, caring about every aspect of our lives. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, study guide, and hardcover book.)
If You Want to Walk on Water You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat, by John Ortberg. Peter may have been the first one out of the boat, but Jesus’s invitation to walk on water is for us all. But what does it mean? Walking on water means facing our fears and choosing not to let fear have the last word, discovering and embracing the unique calling of God on our lives, and experiencing the power of God to accomplish what we would not be capable of doing on our own. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, participant guide, and book.)
