For Group Study

Pastor and best-selling author Adam Hamilton returns to one of his most popular topics, Christianity and world religions. This new, fully updated book and Bible study explores four major world religions--Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism--and compares the beliefs of each with those of Christianity. He deals openly and honestly with questions people ask about other religions, such as: Why are there so many different religions? How should Christians view other religions? How is God at work in other religions? What is the fate of those who earnestly pursue God through other religions? In examining these major world religions and the beliefs of their followers, Hamilton urges us as Christians to build bridges with others so that we might grow in our faith, seek peace in our world, love our neighbors, and find positive ways to share the gospel. The DVD includes six new video sessions featuring Adam Hamilton in 10-15 minute presentations. Each session includes Hamilton interviewing religious leaders from each tradition. All videos sessions are closed captioned.

Like the Roman Empire, today's governments or organizations can become centered on power and believe their messages are the good news. As Christians, we're called to proclaim God's name in all the earth (1 Chronicles 16:8), but how do we to do that in the midst of false gospels?

In this fifteenth volume of That The World May Know(R), discover how Paul communicated the Good News of Christ to Philippi, a Roman colony that worshipped false gods. Can you live the message as Paul did while he encouraged the church in Philippi to consider itself a colony of heaven, not Rome? Consider your citizenship--and the message you convey to the world--as Ray Vander Laan takes you deeper into the culture of ancient Philippi.

Experience the Bible in historical context, as you walk in the footsteps of the second missionary tour of the Apostle Paul in Greece--in locations like Philippi, Thessaloniki, and Delphi.

This pack contains one softcover discovery guide and one DVD.

Money has great power in our lives and, when used wisely, helps us meet our goals, provide for our needs, and fulfill our life purpose. But in recent years, many of us ignored this when managing and spending our money. We found ourselves spending tomorrow's money today. The result of all of this was not greater happiness but greater stress and anxiety.

Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bible's wisdom on prudent financial practices. Find the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity.

We're not that different from Joseph. True, we may not be part of a story that will be remembered for all time, but like Joseph, we encounter circumstances that we'd never choose for ourselves. At times, it can be tempting just to walk away, but Joseph provides us a great example of humbly obeying God even when we don't understand, faithfully moving forward in the strength that God provides. Join Adam Hamilton as he examines Christmas through the eyes of Joseph and learn to accept and glorify God's will even when our situation makes it difficult to do so.
