You Were Made For This Moment by Max Lucado (2021). Are you weary from your challenges, wounded by your battles, or worried your world is spinning out of control? If so, this study based on the book of Esther brings welcome news that God hasn’t forgotten you. (5 sessions. Includes DVD, study guide, and hardcover book.)
Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets by Andy Stanley (2020). “I should’ve asked more questions!” We hear this quite often after making a bad decision. In this study, Stanley equips us with five catalytic questions to ask each time we are faced with a decision. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, study guide, and hardcover book.)
Who Is Jesus? by Louie Giglio (2018). All our lives center on this one question: who is Jesus? In this study, Giglio invites us to meet God in both our intellect and our hearts by uncovering what history and Scripture have to say about Jesus. (5 sessions. Includes DVD and study guide.)
For churches interested in exploring ways to Build the Beloved Community, here is a great DVD option:
Vital Conversations: Racism and the U.S. Church – Subtitled “Vital Conversations on Race, Culture, and Justice,” this study was published by The General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR). It offers us a way to begin a dialog, face our misconceptions and fears, and move deliberately to spiritual, community, and social transformation. The final session is presented by Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi. (7 sessions. Includes DVD and study guide.)
In addition to this DVD study, there are numerous books that will be helpful in dismantling racism. Use our online catalog (see below) and do an advanced search using the subject “Racism.”
