Discovery Place: Lenten Studies

As we approach Lent, one of the most meaningful seasons of the church year, consider one of these studies for small group or personal use. 

  

  

 


The Case for Easter: Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus: In this video Bible study, author Lee Strobel reveals what he discovered as he went piece-by-piece through the evidence of the empty tomb. (4 sessions. It is packaged with The Case for Christmas, which may be previewed for use in Advent 2021. Includes 2 DVDs and 2 study guides.)

The Walk: Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life: How do we walk with Christ—daily follow Him, grow in Him, and faithfully serve Him? Join Adam Hamilton to discover five essential spiritual practices rooted in Jesus’ own walk with God. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and book. Children and youth books also available.)

Why Easter Matters: Packaged with Who Needs Christmas, Andy Stanley looks at the lives of several key people in the familiar story of Jesus’ crucifixion. The circumstances they faced are different than ours, but their actions and mistakes are, unfortunately, not different at all. (4 sessions. Includes 2 DVDs and 2 study guides. The Christmas study may be previewed for use in Advent 2021.)

24 Hours that Changed the World: Travel to the Holy Land with Adam Hamilton, to visit the sites where the earth-shaking events of the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life took place. (7 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, book, and 40 Days of Reflection booklet. Children and youth books also available.)

He Chose the Nails: Max Lucado examines the gifts that Christ gave at His crucifixion. These include the gift of the cross, the thorns, the nails, and the empty tomb. (5 sessions. Packaged with Because of Bethlehem, which may be previewed for use in Advent 2021. Includes 2 DVDs and 2 study guides.)

What Makes a Hero? The Death-Defying Ministry of Jesus: Looking at pop culture heroes through the lens of faith, author Matt Rawle shows how Jesus turned the concept of hero on its head. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and book. Children and youth books also available.)

Restored: Finding Redemption in Our Mess: Author Tom Berlin encourages us to reflect and meditate on our own brokenness, showing us that it is only when we focus on the cross as a place to surrender control that we can leave our mess and find true redemption. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and book. Youth book also available.)

Final Words from the Cross: Adam Hamilton examines Christ’s dying hours and His final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and book.)

The God We Can Know: Exploring the “I Am” Sayings of Jesus: Author Rob Fuquay explores the “I am” statements of Jesus found in the gospel of John, to help us answer the most essential question in the Christian faith: “Who do you say I am?” (7 sessions. Includes DVD and book.)

Renegade Gospel: The Rebel Jesus: Jesus did not come to start a religion. The rebel Jesus came with a renegade gospel to start a revolution. Author Mike Slaughter presents Jesus and His challenging message. (6 sessions. Includes DVD, leader guide, and book.)
