Randy Frazee – författare

The Story group Bible study provides groups of all sizes the opportunity to discuss and apply what they experience during the 31-week The Story church campaign.

To understand the Bible, says Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life.

The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that puts the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.

In 31 sessions, The Story video-based group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible’s characters and in your own life.

Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s. The Story Study Guide and DVD (sold separately) are designed for use by groups of all sizes, including small groups and Sunday school and adult education classes.

Designed for use with The Story Adult Curriculum Study DVD (9780310329527) sold separately.

Randy Frazee reveals how we must remain in community with Christ so that the fruit we bear tastes good to others and points people to Jesus. 

What kind of fruit are you bearing?

God''s passion is to cultivate the virtues of Jesus in our lives so we become like him. The Bible calls these virtues "fruit." Like the fruit on a tree, the fruit of our life can be seen and tasted by those around us. For people to know who you are and whose you are, they start by tasting the fruit that is evident in your life.

In this 8-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), you''ll develop the virtues that God plants in our hearts, such as:

And you’ll explore the answers to essential questions like:

Randy Frazee teaches you and your group how to confidently know what you believe and how to dig into Scripture to see for yourself the biblical foundation for those beliefs.

Think about the last time someone put you on the spot and questioned what this whole Christianity thing is all about. Maybe they asked you why going to church matters, or how you could possibly believe the Bible, or how God could really care if there''s so much bad happening in the world. 

Do you feel unsettled by questions like these? 

In this 8-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), you''ll dig into eight key beliefs about a Jesus-follower''s relationship with God and with others. And you''ll explore the answers to essential questions like:

Randy Frazee walks you and your group through the spiritual workouts we need every day to develop a lifestyle of loving God and loving others.

We all want to live more like Jesus lived, but simply wanting to and trying harder isn''t enough. To truly become like Jesus, our beliefs need to not only inform us but also transform us. It is the practice of reaching up to God and out to others that will drive beliefs from our head to our heart.

Act Like Jesus teaches the life-giving spiritual disciplines that will lead us in fulfilling our mission to love God and love our neighbor.

Engage in the work of Jesus and His Church in new and exciting ways.

In the book of Acts, we see God’s church growing and taking shape—setting itself apart from the culture of hatred and excess surrounding it and becoming a revolution of hope to a broken world. Today, we are writing the last chapter of Acts in our own lives…

In this six-week Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this “revolution of faith.” You’ll trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth—encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.

Wine is one the most celebrated gifts and blessings from God. It is also the most talked about food in the Bible. But have we neglected this important biblical theme and fragrant gift from God? In this six-session video Bible study, Gisela Kreglinger and Randy Frazee invite us into an exploration of wine''s place in the Bible, in the history of the church, and in the church''s feasting and fellowship today.

Gisela brings her perspective as a scholar who was raised in a vintner''s family, and Randy brings his perspective as a pastor who was raised in a teetotaling home. They remind us that wine is a gift from God and that we are to receive it with gratitude and enjoy it in wholesome, communal, and redemptive ways.

While not shying away from concerns surrounding the challenges of alcohol abuse, they both promote a culture of healing from such disorders and recover a vision for how wine and food welcome us into a fullbodied understanding of the gospel as we await the return of the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.

Join theologian Dr. Gisela Kreglinger and Pastor Randy Frazee for a video Bible study like no other—where sharing a glass of wine is recommended!
