Be Not Afraid: God's Amazing Provision for the Anxious Heart
Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow..." yet fear, anxiety and worry cloud many days and nights even for those who strongly believe in God and desire to trust Him. How can we, as Christians, take our concerns to our Father and find relief for our anxious hearts?
God has provided the all-sufficient Scriptures to bridge the gap between godly desires and everyday struggles. His Word reminds us not only that He has compassion on our fearful hearts, but also that He is powerful and has provided all that we need. This inductive-style study presents life-changing truths from God's Word that are a strong help for our fears. By coming to know more of God and His amazing provision, we find abundant help for all our worries, concerns and anxieties!

Living Faith: Embracing God's Plan for Your Life When it's Not the Life You Expected
Now in paperback!
Some of the hardest times to live by faith are when God places us on an unexpected path in life. It might be a life situation that is different than those experienced by friends or family members; or it might be a set of troubles that we had not planned to face. It might be singleness, childlessness, unemployment, disability, depression, homelessness, a rebellious child, an unhappy marriage, a chronic or life-threatening illness — and the list could go on and on. When we walk these unexpected paths, it is not unusual to experience difficulties beyond the situation itself. We might find it difficult to feel connected to family, friends, or members of our church. We might experience frightening feelings of spiritual dryness and isolation. We might even struggle with difficult (but important) questions about God and His work in our lives. Using the examples of faithful living (and the work of our ever-faithful God), this inductive study of Hebrews 11 encourages believers today to persevere with their eyes fixed on Christ no matter what their paths may hold.

There are many things about Psalm 119 that attract our attention:
Its length — At 176 verses it is by far the longest chapter in the Bible.
Its pattern — In the original language, it is an acrostic divided into 22 sections of eight verses each, according to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
Its theme — In one way or another, the Word of God is mentioned in almost every verse.
However, none of these are what will bring us back to this passage time and time again. The real treasure of Psalm 119 is the picture it gives into the heart and mind of a faithful believer; a believer who, in good times and bad, is exceedingly in love with the Word of God, unwaveringly devoted to the One who wrote it, and faithfully and irresistibly drawn to prayer.
In this psalm we find light for days of darkness, refreshment for days of struggle, promises for days of heartache, balm for days of affliction, truth for days of doubt, strength for days of temptation . . . and perhaps more than anything, powerful encouragement to live each and every day by faith.

Psalm 119 is well known for many reasons, including its length. Yet what may not less well known is that all but the first three verses of this psalm are a prayer: the prayer of a believer who ardently loves and delights in the Scriptures.
Over the weeks of this course, as you observe the life and prayers of this psalmist, may the Lord give you a greater delight in Himself and His Word, and may your heart be irresistibly drawn to prayer!
