YOU CAN BECOME PART OF GOD’S AMAZING REVOLUTION!

When you put your faith in Jesus, you become a member of the amazing family of God. You come into a place where you are known, loved, accepted . . . and never alone. But you also become part of a revolution that shook the foundations of society when the early church burst onto the scene—a revolution that still changes lives and even societies today.

In this six-week audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this “revolution of faith.” You will trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth—encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.

If you are a follower of Jesus, you are part of this revolution . . . a revolution in which you are called to serve alongside your family in Christ and share God’s love with the world.

The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God’s Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study. As you do, you will gain an understanding of the background and culture of the book, insights into key passages that you might have overlooked before, and clear takeaways that you can apply today to your life.

The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience.

Heaven and earth are woven more closely together than we might think. In this 8-session video Bible study, enter the creation of the world and the first movements of God’s perfect plan to deliver his people.

Throughout the Bible–from its very first pages to the culmination of Christ’s return–there are two parallel dramas unfolding:

• The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
• The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God’s perspective.

The objective of God the Creator–the first in a series of three small-group studies in The Story series–is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of Genesis through Ruth. As you read these narratives–featuring characters such as Adam, Eve, Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, and Ruth–you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

This all-new audio study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of Genesis through Ruth. The curriculum also includes an updated study guide with new content and questions adapted from The Story Study Guide, The Heart of the Story, and Exploring the Story by Randy Frazee.

With warmth and biblical insight, Frazee shows us how to

• rely on the power of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did;
• respond to God‚Äôs voice in decisions big and small;
• raise our expectations for how God‚Äôs power can work through us; and
• break free of addictions, habits, and destructive thoughts that hold us back.

The Bible promises us more than inspiration. More than influence. The Bible promises us access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So what keeps us from drawing on that incredible resurrection power in our daily lives?

In His Mighty Strength, popular pastor and author Randy Frazee explores Jesus’ time on earth to uncover the amazing source of his strength. Jesus continually sought direction from the Father and found the power to live the Father’s will through the Holy Spirit. He said yes to God every day of his earthly life—and we can too.

His Mighty Strength reminds us that Jesus’ resurrection power is not wishful thinking or a poetic metaphor. It’s a real source of strength that we have access to right now. And when we embrace God’s offering, our lives will never be the same.

“This is not a watered-down self-help book—this is a powerful Gospel-centered guide to walking in the fullness of Christ. I challenge you to read this amazing book and accept the glorious gift of strength from Christ that enables us to live the abundant life God has promised us!” —Francesca Battistelli, Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter

What If You Could . . . *get all your work done by 6:00 p.m.?*eat dinner with your family every night?*form deep, satisfying relationships?*naturally blend the world of church with your everyday life? *spend hours a week on your hobbies?You can! Making Room for Life reveals how to make all of these things a reality. Not by working faster or having more gadgets, but by simply choosing a lifestyle of conversation, and community over accumulation. Randy Frazee’s practical, motivating insights call you back to the kind of relationships and life rhythms you were created to enjoy. In Making Room for Life, Frazee shows you how–and why it’s so important–to balance work and play, establish healthy boundaries, deal with children’s activities and homework, bring Jesus to your neighbors, and build authentic bonds with a circle of close friends. Share these insights with those around you and help usher in an amazing transformation: your life and the lives of others blooming, in the midst of the chaos and fragmentation of today’s culture, into communities of purpose and peace.

The development of meaningful relationships, where every member carries a significant sense of belonging, is central to what it means to be the church. So why do many Christians feel disappointed and disillusioned with their efforts to experience authentic community? Despite the best efforts of pastors, small group leaders, and faithful lay persons, church too often is a place of loneliness rather than connection.Church can be so much better. So intimate and alive. The Connecting Church tells you how. The answer may seem radical today, but it was a central component of life in the early church. First-century Christians knew what it meant to live in vital community with one another, relating with a depth and commitment that made “the body of Christ” a perfect metaphor for the church. What would it take to reclaim that kind of love, joy, support, and dynamic spiritual growth? Read this book and find out.

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. In this 8-session video Bible study, enter the unfolding progression of the Old Testament and the advancement of God’s complex plan to deliver his people.

Deliverance is what the story of the Bible is all about. But throughout the Bible, there are two parallel dramas unfolding:

• The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
• The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God’s perspective.

The goal of the God the Deliverer Bible study is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of 1 Samuel through Malachi and the thread of deliverance that weaves through them both. As you read these narratives–featuring characters such as Samuel, Saul, David, Jeremiah, Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah–you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

This all-new audio study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of 1 Samuel through Malachi. The curriculum also includes an updated study guide with new content and questions adapted from The Story Study Guide, The Heart of the Story, and Exploring the Story by Randy Frazee.

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. In this 8-session video Bible study, enter the culmination of God’s complex plan to deliver his people in the person of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Salvation is what the story of the Bible is all about: the final goal of God’s narrative. But throughout the Bible, there are two parallel dramas unfolding:

• The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
• The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God’s perspective.

The goal of the God the Savior Bible study is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the New Testament. As you read these stories–featuring characters such as Mary and Joseph, the Twelve Disciples, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and the central figure, Jesus Christ–you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

The Heart of the Story will help you see God’s Word in a new and inspiring light. In the Bible’s seemingly disconnected stories you’ll discover one grand, unfolding epic–God’s story from Genesis onward, and your own story contained within it.To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.In 31 chapters, The Heart of the Story will open your eyes to God’s master-plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible’s characters–and in your own life. Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s.

What You Believe Drives Everything

The Bible teaches that the goal of the Christian life is to become like Jesus—for our own personal growth and for the sake of others. Every believer needs to ask three big questions: What do I believe? What should I do? And who am I becoming?

In Think, Act, Be Like Jesus, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee helps readers grasp the vision of the Christian life and get started on the journey of discipleship. After unfolding the revolutionary dream of Jesus and showing how our lives fit into the big picture of what God is doing in the world, Frazee walks readers through thirty short chapters exploring the ten core beliefs, ten core practices, and ten core virtues that help disciples to think, act, and be more like Jesus Christ.

This compelling new book can be used in conjunction with the 30-week all-church Believe campaign or read separately as an individual study. Either way, readers will deepen their understanding of what it means to not just know the Story of God, but to live it.

Popular pastor Randy Frazee answers perennial questions about life after death with an accessible exploration of what the Bible has to say on the subject.

In both Christian and pop culture, there is a certain fascination with the afterlife. What happens after you die? What happens if you die with Christ or without Christ? What happens when Jesus returns if you have or haven’t accepted Christ? What exactly comes next?

Randy Frazee, popular pastor of Oak Hills Church and general editor of the wildly successful Believe and The Story programs, answers these questions and more. Born out of a deeply personal search for truth after the death of his mother, What Happens After You Die is a straightforward exploration of what the Bible says about life after death. From heaven and hell to the Lake of Fire and the actual presence of God, Frazee uncovers what is simply cultural tradition and what is truly biblical. He shows readers not only the death Jesus came to save us from but the life he came to save us for.

Based on a teaching series that has had more online views than any other series Frazee has done to date, What Happens After You Die is a guide to the perennial questions about life and death, what comes next, and how we should live until then.
