Is it better to prove our point? Or just try to love?Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today’s tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God’s grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God’s plan. As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and love.In this video Bible study, evangelist Matt Brown draws on the example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their love. By developing the fruit of the Spirit, we naturally begin to draw others to the love of Christ within us . . . and to the truth found in God’s Word. Truth plus love is the formula for transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ.The Truth Plus Love Study Guide includes video teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study and reflection materials.Sessions include:Truth Plus JoyTruth Plus PeaceTruth Plus GentlenessTruth Plus FaithfulnessTruth Plus PatienceTruth Plus LoveDesigned for use with the Truth Plus Love Video Study (9780310112358), sold separately.

Words are powerful, and they have consequences.From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words. What to say. How to say it. What not to say. When it is best to remain silent. And what to do when you've said something you wish you could now take back. In this six-session study, Karen Ehman, a woman who readily admits that her mouth has gotten her into loads of trouble, shares the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue.

Is the desire of your heart to be close to God?Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator but He seems elusive? Perhaps it's because something essential is missing in your life—the fear of the Lord. Don't let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It's the key to everything. Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days, but if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore it.In this six-session video Bible study (streaming code included), bestselling author John Bevere explores more than forty promises in Scripture given to those who embrace holy fear—rewards such as holiness, wisdom, legacy, confidence, happiness, and security. He invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. And he shows how approaching God in this way allows you to discover the deeper relationship with the Lord that your soul longs for and that He desires to have with you.This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.An individual access code to stream all video sessions online.

But for most of us, there's an equally incredible gap between our own experiences of prayer and Jesus' promises about it. Why is that? What are our roadblocks in praying as Jesus did? How can we discover the power of prayer in our own lives?In this Bible study, you'll embark on a journey that will lead you from receiving Christ's intercession to interceding with Christ.
