GIC 2020: Commitment Sunday

To wrap up our week-long Global Impact Celebration, we invited some of LifeWay’s global missions partners to share their experience and insight with us, and to pray for us and with us for God’s work—and our partnership with him—around the globe. Partnership in the gospel means partnering with God in your own life and personal mission field. It also means partnering with others to participate in the greater mission to make disciples of all nations. As part of the Global…

Remember

The Book of Jesus, Part 6: Remember Remembering does two things. It looks back and says, ‘What has he done?’ … Looking forward it’s saying, ‘I get to, from this point forward, be a person of a new life, in a new faith, in a new way.’ BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Sacrifice

The Book of Jesus, Part 5: Sacrifice I bring to the table my sacrifice … which frankly does include: the family. The money. The life. The mindset. The directions of life. The hopes and dreams that we have. My sacrifice is the acknowledgement of my worship to God. … [As Warren Wiersbe wrote,] ‘The Christian who fails at life fails first at the altar.’ BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Covenant

The Book of Jesus, Part 4: Covenant This word covenant is so important that unless we grapple with it and try to discover what it means, we can never fully realize what God wants to see in us—because what he wants to see in you and in me is the image of his Son. He wants you to be a full daughter, and a full son, in the house of God. He wants to restore that image in you. And…

Shattered

The Book of Jesus, Part 3: Shattered The real truth of a shattered man? Left to ourselves, there is no hope…without what God laid out in Genesis 3:15. … We have the promise of the coming Savior. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Reflect, Receive and Rule

The Book of Jesus, Part 2: Reflect, Receive and Rule So why were we created? We were created to reflect the Almighty, receive the blessing, and rule the creation. KEVIN P Download the discussion guide

Who is Jesus: The Most Essential Truth of All

The Book of Jesus, Part 1Who is Jesus: The Most Essential Truth of All I think much more important than W.W.J.D. ought to be W.I.J., which is: Who…Is Jesus? Who is this Christ? What does he not only stand for, but who is he really? If I call myself a Christian, a Christ follower, I want to learn then, to find out who this Christ really is. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Battle in Our Time

The Book of Jesus, Introduction: The Battle in Our Time The only real battle [in this world] is actually a war: the war for the souls of men. And it can only be beaten—it can only be faced in its entirety—with the eternal truth from the almighty God. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Lost…

‘What is the priority of the church?’How would you answer that question? If you were asked the question, ‘What is the priority of your life as an individual Christian,’ how would you answer it? As followers of Jesus, how we answer it is not nearly as important as how he would answer it—and we know the answer to that question. DON TURNER Download the discussion guide

The Sower and the Seeds

As a believer myself, as one who has been challenged to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, I, too, now can sow the seeds of the gospel in this world. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Good Samaritan

Meeting people at the foot of the cross, no matter who they are, literally breaks down and moves the limits of humanity that I know as a human being. … God calls us to risky places, and he calls us to risky people…because he allows me to be a divine partner in what he’s doing. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Rich Fool

Be rich toward God. That’s a disciple of Jesus Christ. … Ask God to really help you learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, who takes each possession seriously, each relationship seriously, each day seriously. Enjoy your days—but don’t waste them on the things that do not last. Live for him. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

If personal pride is the root of your life, then I can promise you that the product of your life will be found only in what you (and I) can bring to the table. … [but] we are called to be right before God … and that only happens when we come humbly before the almighty God. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Good Shepherd

There is a good shepherd who wants to lead your life. He’s not the hired hand. He will not abandon you. He will not forsake you. And he’s waiting for you to listen to his voice and follow him through everything. Why? Because, he says, “I am the gatekeeper. I am the good shepherd, the perfect shepherd who protects your soul.” BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Persistent Widow

God’s Divine Delay:God says, ‘I have something for you and I will bring this on to you.’… God doesn’t delay because, ‘You don’t deserve it! You go home and be a better person!’ He divinely delays so we can grow in our trust and our faith…our trust in the eternal, heavenly Creator Father. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Fishing Net

I must remain alert at all times to the irrevocable and irretrievable finality of my life. But in the middle of that…is the fact that [the end] will come when God says there’s a completeness to it all—there’s a completeness to the parable of the fisherman that says, “We’re done fishing! We’re done! The nets are full!” BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide
