Bible Study Guides

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. The top-selling Lifebuilder Bible Studies have helped millions of people dig deeper into the Bible, individually and in groups. This revised edition features additional questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with expanded leader's notes and an extra 'Now or Later' section in each study.

Don Baker begins this guide by saying, "God has given me free will, and while I appreciate his confidence in my ability to choose, there are times when I wish that he would make the decisions for me". Unfortunately, the Bible cannot give us the answer to every choice we face either. But the Bible does teach us how to make decisions. And these 10 studies will help you to learn those principles and apply them to your life. This Lifebuilder Bible Study in the new revised format features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section in each study.

“I’ve learned I have to depend on Jesus for everything.” That is what a friend going through a rough time said to us. It was an extreme statement. It sounded almost too radical. Of course believers know we have to depend on Jesus for many things: for salvation, for guidance, for forgiveness, for daily needs. But to depend on Christ for everything? Excluding nothing? It was a scary idea. It was also, we realized, a profoundly biblical idea. Biblical people who followed Christ encountered every kind of obstacle: hostility, loneliness, injustice, failure, and other seemingly impossible difficulties. Here are ten instances of biblical people learning that they could rely on Christ to see them through, even when all other avenues of help failed. Just as they discovered that Christ is sufficient for any and all circumstances, we pray that you will be encouraged to discover the same.
