Discover the Life-Changing Relevance of the Old Testament. This dynamic program takes your church on an eye-opening, heart-searching journey through Scripture on three interlocking levels: Whole congregation---The major themes of the Old Testament snap into focus during 32 weeks of creative and powerful messages that take your entire congregation through the Old Testament. Small groups---Truths taught in corporate worship get reinforced through discussion and relationship. Small groups dig deeper into God's Word and apply it to their daily lives. Individual---The Scriptures get up-close-and-personal as each participant takes a life-transforming journey through the first two-thirds of the Bible using the Taking the Old Testament Challenge individual reading guide. This threefold approach will drive the truths of Scripture deep into the heart and life of each participant, with applications designed to turn lessons into lifestyles and principles into practice. Developing a Heart for God: Life-Changing Lessons from the Wisdom Books There are some things in this life that always seem to be in high demand but short supply. Wisdom is one of them. In our fast-paced world of sound bites and canned answers, we need a source of deep wisdom that does not change with each new fad and trend. The Wisdom Books of the Bible offer rivers of truth that will refresh thirsting hearts and souls. These eight interweaving messages, small group studies, and personal study assignments search the Wisdom Books and reveal God's insight and perspective on real life issues ranging from the heights of romance to the depths of suffering and everything in-between.
