What's Included:
1 John
What do you rely on to get through your day? The things we rely on are also what define usÑour family, education, job, accomplishments, and money. For the apostle John, nothing defined him more than the love of God in Jesus, and that is what he relied on every moment of every day. Scotty Smith takes readers through 1 John and shows how a rich understanding of the love of God prepares us to thrive in times of great stress and strengthens us for every season of life.
1 Peter
DisplacedÑthat's what it feels like to be a Christian in an increasingly post-Christian world. You speak the language and understand the culture, yet don't quite feel at home. How do you live as a Christian in a world that doesn't share your convictions? Can you still hold firmly to biblical truth even as you love others? Robert H. Thune unpacks how the apostle Peter spoke to these issues in the first of his letters to first-century Christians.
2 Peter
According to 2 Peter, one day the earth will be renewed by fire, and we will live together in a new world where all wrongs are righted and all sorrows swept away. Because we have this sure hope, we can turn from living for ourselves and for what we want in the moment and instead live for God. Jonathan Gibson's 2 Peter Bible study helps participants learn how keeping heaven in view guides their daily goals and choices while strengthening their hope.
Acts
The book of Acts traces the birth of the early church from its small, inauspicious beginnings to Paul’s arrival in Rome. As Jesus predicted, the kingdom of God started small, but the power of God is still transforming and changing broken people and places. In his study of Acts, Howard Brown shows how the power that God unleashed at Pentecost is still at work in God’s people today, changing people and the world from the inside out.
Colossians
In a culture where questions about identity are at the forefront, Christians need to remember the most important thing that defines them is being united to Christ. This truth is a daily reality that brings strength and a confident destiny that brings hope. In his study of Colossians, Steve Huber helps readers better understand their connection to Christ and realize that they are becoming who they have already been declared to be in Christ—fully loved and fully alive in him.
Ecclesiastes
What constitutes a meaningful life? We seek fulfillment in success, prosperity, recognition, relationships, and even self-sufficiency, but we always seem to come up short. If you feel you are coming up empty in your life and need a bigger vision and greater purpose, this accessible study by David Gibson will show you that all of your hope for meaning lies in getting to know and trust your Creator.
Ephesians
Am I loved? The central question of every human heart is answered with a resounding yes through this study of the Ephesians. Through an easily accessible, self-contained small group study, each participant will grow in their understanding of the love of Christ and the riches of his grace, and how that love shapes every relationship and every interaction with others.
Ezra and Nehemiah
The story of Ezra and Nehemiah plays out against a backdrop of ruins. There's a ruined city, a ruined house of worship, ruined homesÑruined life with God. As is often the case in our own lives, the wreckage was largely their own fault. Their path to rebuilding, at its core, was a journey back to God. As you study Ezra and Nehemiah with Iain Duguid, you too will be encouraged to return to the God who is always faithful.
Galatians
In his Galatians Bible study, McKay Caston guides participants in keeping the gospel as the "true north" compass for their lives, allowing them to break free from religious rule-keeping and live with freedom and joy. Paul's message to the church in Galatia serves as a gospel compass for us today as we navigate life with the cross of the risen and reigning Jesus as our focus and guide.
Isaiah
Did you know that the prophet Isaiah preached the gospel? The central message of Isaiah is a simple messageÑGod saves sinners. Through a study of Isaiah, Jonathan Gibson guides participants in daily savoring the basics of the gospel: we need saving. We need God every day. Isaiah reminds us again and again that our hope is not in ourselvesÑit's in turning from our own way and turning to God in faith.
Job
The book of Job is an agonizing journey through the suffering of a godly man. We listen to his heart-wrenching thoughts and prayers and feel his confusion. Each person inevitably reads this story out of their own experience with suffering and disappointment. Why is this happening? Does God even care how we hurt? Marc Davis’s study of Job helps us understand the message of Job more fully, helping us reflect on Job’s suffering and our own in relationship to the suffering of Jesus.
Jonah
This small group guide includes ten in-depth lessons for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings. Explore this resource and find a God who relents, a God who is sovereign, and a God who is present among the mercies and trials of life. Jonah: Grace for Sinners and Saints offers Scripture-based, theologically rich content with an easy-to-follow structure to engage readers. Duguid explores how we are more like Jonah than we might think, bringing the text to life by examining our own motives and affections.
Mark

Perritt outlines many helpful questions paired with Scripture readings for personal reflection or group discussion. Through in-depth examination of the book of Mark, article readings, and applicable exercises, students experience the compassion and authority of Christ.
Philippians
When times are hard and overwhelming, the command to "Rejoice!" can feel mocking or even cruel. How can we have joy when circumstances in our lives and those around us are so difficult? Josiah Bancroft guides readers in a study of Philippians, showing how a deep and abiding joy is possible in every circumstance when we understand who Jesus is and who we are in him.
Psalms
How long? Why is this happening? Where are you, God? For centuries, God's people have learned to go to God with their real questions, struggles, and everyday needs by reading and studying the Psalms. In this practical, gospel-rich small group study, Barbara Miller Juliani and Patric Knaak guide participants in learning how the Psalms give us words to pray about the real struggles in our everyday lives.
Revelation
When the difficulties of life suggest that evil and chaos reign, we need to see that God occupies the throne in heaven and rules this world._In this fourteen-week study of Revelation, pastor and author Scotty Smith reminds us that in troubled times our hope is in our champion Savior who is with us and will one day make all things right.
Ruth
In this ten-week accessible study, Jared Wilson provides a clearer picture of Jesus through the story of Ruth, which he presents as a historic living parable of Christ's love for his church. By studying the book of Ruth, readers can enjoy the romance and drama of this compelling story while understanding how it applies to their own livesÑfinding Christ's undying love for them through this unforgettable biblical narrative.
The Gospel-Centered Life in Exodus
The first in a series of small group studies for teens and young adults that traces God's story of redemption through the whole Bible, The Gospel-Centered Life in Exodus for Students is a twelve-lesson resource written by Kristen Hatton to teach students how to study God's Word and connect it to their lives.
Titus
Can the truth really change how we live? And how do we know what is true in a world of so many falsehoods? In this timely study, Jeff Dodge explores how Christians are called to share the gospel message with the worldÑfree of do-good, moralistic, try-harder religion, while also boldly calling those who believe to a gospel-centered, radical new life of love.
