Experience the joy that comes with personal revival! Did you know that revival means a complete transformation of your heart that impacts your home, church, and the world? In Seeking Him, Nancy Leigh DeMoss shows you the way toward freedom and the genuine holiness that comes from humility, repentance, and forgiveness. Each week of this 12-week interactive study has five days of individual study to be done at home, followed by group questions and testimonies. There's also a "Making It Personal" section for you to delve into more questions and exercises.

Why do we lose our temper? Why do we tend to hurt those we care for most? How do families find themselves broken? The reason is often the way we think. Beyond behaviors and deeper than attitudes, thinking determines outcome more than anything else. The Book of Romans challenges us to be no longer conformed to the patterns of the world but rather to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. So much of what we are missing in life is associated with the way we process events in the world around us, draw conclusions about our circumstances, and act out of conclusions uninformed by the truth of Jesus and the gospel. In a world constantly bombarded by the fictions of a self-absorbed culture, managing our thinking becomes an even trickier proposition.

If you repeatedly find yourself in places where you don’t want to go, it’s your thinking that’s leading you there. This 10-session Bible study by James MacDonald identifies strongholds, examines how they came to be, and offers believers a biblical path toward repentance and the renewing of their minds. God offers our only hope for victory over disposition, dysfunction, double-mindedness, and every other mental stronghold. With Him we can think differently.

Christians are supposed to be happy. In fact, we are supposed to radiate joy, peace, and contentment that are so distinctive and attractive that others are naturally drawn to us because they want what we have. And yet, in today’s culture, many Christians are perceived as angry, judgmental people who don’t seem to derive any joy from life whatsoever.

In Happiness, noted theologian and author Randy Alcorn dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy but also commands it. The Happiness Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for six sessions, individual study, applicable Scripture, and a group discussion guide.

Modern Parables seeks to re-create the emotional immediacy that Jesus’ 1st-century audience felt when hearing the parables. It does this by using some of the best parable scholarship and exploring it through creative film making. The gut-level understanding made possible by the films is intended to drive listeners into a deeper understanding of the Bible.
The films are not just loosely based on the parables, but very accurately follow the original text. The goal of the films is to re-create the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual impact of the original parables. It is high integrity to the Word of God in all its parts that makes the study so effective.
By modernizing the parables, they become more accessible to a contemporary audience. People can immediately relate to what the films are saying as well as to what the pastors are teaching. The pastoral application videos show how the parables relate to our daily lives, as well as how we each fit into the broader scope of the Kingdom of God.

Moments of decision. Your life is full of them, and how you respond can have lifelong impact. Israel's shepherd king faced critical choices in the same areas we do, and we can learn a lot from how he handled them. The sessions in this small group DVD series explore six areas of tension in our lives:

·         Image vs. Character

·         Fear vs. Faith

·         Circumstances vs. Truth

·         Deception vs. Integrity

·         Arrogance vs. Humility

·         Disappointment vs. Expectancy

God will use the choices we make in these areas to transform us into people after His own heart - and shape our lives forever.

What if the detour is the only way to the destination?

The "end" of Joseph's dreams was really just the beginning.

Joseph's detour really wasn't a detour after all. It was God's sovereign plan - the purpose between the lines of the story. There are many parallels between his life and the ministry of Jesus, and therefore between his life and ours as followers of Jesus. As with Joseph and Jesus, our stories become a part of God's even greater story - the story not only of a tragic fall but also of a stunning redemption. And regardless of the pain, the challenges, and the adversity we go through, the glory of our story will be worth it in the end.

Kyle Idleman's riveting new study, gods at war properly notes that Christians and the church correctly emphasize the need to identify and eradicate sin. But what if we're actually missing the point? What if all sin has a common root? Is there a core issue that we failing to address?

In this new series, Kyle Idleman challenges our presumptions about sin by suggesting that all sin derives from the same source—idolatry. While we don't see many "graven images" around today, Kyle argues that there are still countless gods passionately at war for the throne of our hearts. If we put the wrong god on the throne, our lives will be thrown into chaos, and all of the effort we put into fighting sin and overcoming it will be futile.

While there are many gods at war for our hearts, this study focuses on four in particular: the gods of love, money, pleasure, and power. In a new twist to the cinematic style City on Hill video studies have become known for, this series is filmed in a docudrama style—and features real people telling real stories.

These stories are compelling, and in them everyone will see some reflection of themselves, and recognize the true battle that lies at the heart of all of our sin struggles. These stories also point the way to victory, as we see the kind of life-transforming power that Christ is ready to pour out in our lives as well. As a result, seekers, non-Christians and life-long Christians alike will all be moved to grow their relationship with Christ.

With the deluge of communication around us-books, newspapers, blogs, journals, and magazines all insisting that their view of the world is most compelling-which should we trust? This is no small question. In fact, our answer has eternal implications.
