Single-session Bible study on Christian Life, Trials. 3 pages. Leader Guide available.
In every life, there are always “what ifs.” Your personal “what ifs” might include such lifechanging events as a move to a new community due to a job change, a change in marital status due to divorce or the death of a spouse, or a retirement after many years of hard work. Then there are the daily “what ifs” as you care for your family, go to work, shop for groceries, take the car in for repairs, mow the lawn, plant a garden, shovel snow, visit your doctor, as well as medical diagnoses and procedures which frighten us. These are just the tip of the iceberg of our busy lives and the “what ifs” that affect us.
When “what ifs” on the expressway of life overwhelm us, we may become worried and anxious. As our sinful natures cause us to turn inward to look for answers, we may wonder if we will have time to accomplish everything ahead of us in our daily lives. We may wonder if a relationship will develop or dissolve. We may wonder if the medical advice and procedures will grant us a cure. Worry and anxiety over “what ifs” and over actual problems we face can consume our time and energy. These emotions may become so overwhelming that they cause us to take our eyes off of God and forget His love and care for us as well as His control over all things. To help us face life’s “what ifs,” let’s turn to God’s Word for guidance.

Single-session Bible study on Stress, Christian Life. 3 pages. Leader Guide available.
When people talk about stress in everyday life, they usually are describing “bad” stress, distress. Commonly, “stress” refers to problems like sick kids, overwhelming credit card debt, or arguments with co-workers.
Experts, though, remind us that not all stress is distress. Good stress, or “eustress,” gets us out of bed in the morning. It keeps us motivated and moving forward. That rapid heartbeat you experience at the surprise birthday party your friends planned for you is eustress. So is the rush that floods your being when your team wins. So is the feeling when that golden oldie starts to play and happy memories flood your heart, sending a smile across your face.

Single-session Bible study on Christian Life, Relationship with Others. 5 pages. Leader Guide available.
From the beginning, God did not want people to be alone or isolated. The Lord made each one of us and placed us in a family, community, and congregation. But because we are sinners, working and living with others can be challenging. In this Bible study, we will see God’s framework for accepting others and how, with God’s help, different personalities can work together toward a common goal.

Single-session Bible study on Advent. 5 pages. Leader Guide available.
“If you can remain calm while all others are panicking, you probably don’t understand the situation.” This is an old saying that brings a chuckle and a nod of agreement from many, especially in the weeks before Christmas. There are so many preparations to be made – presents to buy and wrap, cards to address and mail, food to purchase and prepare – how could anyone be calm! Yet, God invites us, even commands us, to be still – to fully comprehend and embrace the meaning of what He has done for us through the birth of His Son.

Single-session Bible study on Witnessing, Service. 5 pages.
“Where” is the Father’s field and “how” does the Father sow, nourish, and reap His harvest of believers? The following study of God’s Word will attempt to answer those questions as we look at “where,” in the four arenas (i.e. mission fields) given to us by Jesus from Acts 1:8, and the “how,” with seven mission responses. This is a result of showing our faith by what we do from James 2:17–18.
