How Understanding God's Story Changes Yours

Melissa Kruger,

      Author and Vice-President of Discipleship Programming for The Gospel Coalition

Many of us read the Bible without realizing that it is one story from beginning to end—a story about God’s great mission to redeem all things. From Genesis to Revelation, we see God’s heart in his redemptive plan for humanity­—and how earnestly he desires for us to be a part of it!

From Garden to Glory invites you to experience the Bible as the beautiful story of God’s astounding love for you. In Courtney Doctor’s overview that spans from Eden to eternity, you will

  • grow in your appreciation for how all the parts of the Bible fit together brilliantly as a unified whole

  • understand your value, significance, and purpose to God on a more profound level

  • be encouraged to live in hopeful anticipation for the story’s epic finale—when heaven and earth are renewed in glory and we’re in God’s presence

This engaging journey through God’s grand story of Scripture will deepen your gratitude and awe as you discover how the God of the Bible has stopped at nothing to bring you back to him!

A Bible Study on the I AM Statements of Jesus

Nancy Guthrie,

     Bible teacher; Author, Even Better than Eden

Seeing is believing. If we want to know who Jesus is and why he is important to our lives, we need to take a closer look at what he said about himself. Jesus describes himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, and more. His bold words invite us to behold him—and then to trust him.

Whether you’ve never read the Bible, have followed Jesus for years, or find yourself somewhere in between, this 7-week Bible study from Courtney Doctor and Joanna Kimbrel explores the question, Who is Jesus? Using the “I Am” statements in the Gospel of John, readers will learn how to observe, interpret, apply, and reflect on key Bible verses about Jesus’s identity. Weekly prayers, memory verses, brief commentaries, and discussion questions help women to see Jesus, trust him alone for salvation, and proclaim his goodness to others.

“In Behold and Believe, Courtney Doctor and Joanna Kimbrel have put together a study that helps us immerse ourselves in the fullness of all that Jesus meant in his I Am statements so that we can not only understand them but also find in them more reasons to love him.”

Ruth Chou Simons

     Wall Street Journal bestselling author; artist; Founder, GraceLaced.com

“If we become what we behold, there’s no better focus for our gaze than Christ himself! Behold and Believe is a helpful resource for anyone who wants to understand (or remember anew!) who Jesus really is.”

Glenda Marshall,

      Author, The Promise Is His Presence; Everyday Faithfulness; and Memorizing Scripture

We often go to Scripture looking for ourselves, but we will better understand who we are and how we are to live when we have first looked long at Jesus. Behold and Believe lifts our gaze to Christ with deep, thoughtful study that helps us see that all of Scripture points to a Savior who is exactly who he said he was."

“Do you need an invitation to come and sit under the word and hear Jesus introduce himself to you? This study is just that! It’s filled with rich truth wrapped in a helpful format that will cause you to see the Lord more clearly. To behold him with this kind of clarity is to believe that he is exactly who he says he is. I highly recommend this study!”

Jen Oshman,

The Gift of the Gospel in Romans

199203916_10222356570397977_5984711292687014478_n.jpg
Romans is a passionate letter written by Paul, a man completely captured by the beauty, mercy, and majesty of God and His glorious salvation. Paul wanted his readers, then and now, to know how amazing and all-encompassing this salvation actually is — that it’s powerful, planned, eternal, free, and leads to a transformed life.

In this 9-session study, walk through the book of Romans to discover that salvation doesn’t just change your eternal future; it changes your present reality. Because of God’s salvation, hope, peace, life, faith, trust, and endurance are yours.

Learn that after God saves you, He invites you to join Him on His two-fold mission — to sanctify and transform you into the image of Jesus and to send you out into the world to share the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.

  • Personal study segments to complete among 9 weeks of group sessions

  • Nine enriching teaching videos, approximately 25–30 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in Bible study book for individual streaming access

Understand how the gospel saves, transforms, and sends you out on mission; unpack the vastness of all you’ve been given by God in salvation through Christ and the empowerment of God’s Spirit at work in you; and learn how real rest is found in God’s presence and believing God’s grace is for you.

A Bible Study of Salvation Stories in the Old Testament

This seven-week Bible study, with an emphasis on biblical theology, will trace the promised seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15 through seven Old Testament stories. Each chapter — Noah and the ark, Abraham and Isaac, Moses with the manna and water from the rock, the serpent on the pole, Rahab and the spies, David and Goliath, and David and Mephibosheth — gives us a glimpse, a foreshadowing, of the greater salvation Jesus wins. In each encounter, we’ll see how God faithfully fulfilled his promise as he prepared us for the ultimate offspring who brought our eternal salvation. 

This unique Old Testament Bible study provides:

  • 5 days of study each week—
    observing, interpreting, and applying the text
  • Devotional commentary with space to journal your thoughts
  • Weekly memory verse
  • Weekly discussion questions

David once wrote: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation” (Ps. 51:12). Our hope is that the joy of our salvation—and your praise of the One who accomplished it—will increase as we see afresh the battle he won on our behalf.

A Devotional Bible Study on The Book of James

Nancy Guthrie,

     Author of Even Better Than Eden

Faithfulness regardless of our circumstances. That’s what it means to be steadfast. But in a world where so much can undermine our faith or pull us off track, steadfastness is often a rare and elusive trait. James longs for his readers to be steadfast. His letter meets us in our suffering and sickness, our trials and temptations, our wealth and poverty, our ups and downs. He confronts our sin, our speech, and our pride. He encourages believers to have a more resilient and concrete faith: not just to hear the word, but to do it. He calls us to persevere in truth in a world of lies, to see that God’s steadfast love is ultimately the source of our steadfast faith.

This 8-week Study Include
s:
  • 5 days of study each week-observing, interpreting, and applying the text.
  • Devotional commentary with space to journal your thoughts
  • Memory verse each week
  • Small group discussion questions
  • Keynote teaching videos from the TGC 2020 Women's Conference
