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.

In honor of all the faithful women who have been an encouragement to mothers in LCMS pews: past, present, and future. May the Word of God and the compassion of these women inspire us to serve our sisters in Christ who are raising little ones in the faith.

Whether you are a seasoned mother with wisdom to share, or have no children of your own, God uses women in all walks of life to be mentors. In this study, we will focus particularly on mentoring new moms. We will also consider three different ways to encourage new moms physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

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.

Single-session Bible study on Christian Living, Focus. 4 pages.

This study will address the harmful focus we place on “self.” This is the emphasis we are told to put on ourselves by the world versus what the Holy Word of God tells us our focus should be in order to please God in our relationship with Him. We will discuss why it is difficult to take the focus off ourselves; that we are uniquely created by God for Godly purposes, not self-purposes; how we should truly be grateful to God for His mercy, love, forgiveness, grace, and sacrifice; and the ways the Word tells us to show this gratitude in self-less ways.
