A Heart After God
By Elizabeth M. Hoekstra / Bethany House Publishers
The 40 readings present in A Heart After God are perfect for a meditative journey through Lent, but also provide valuable insight for anytime throughout the year. You'll understand God's character and experience his presence anew as you delve into thought-provoking insights paired with prayer and Scripture. Four sections - heart, soul, mind, and strength - will help you expand your love for God and your ministry to others.
Drawing on texts from all three Synoptic Gospels, this series of seven lessons traces the events of Jesus' final journey into Jerusalem and toward crucifixion. Through the study of parallel passages from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, readers will discover both common elements and disparate viewpoints in the passion narratives. Each study includes a listing of texts and themes, plus a preparation guide for class members and discussion suggestions for group leaders. These practical resources will be useful not only for pastors, but for anyone who plans educational opportunities for adults during Lent. Use them in combination with Bankhead's other Lenten titles for a complete interrelated program focusing on the journey to the cross.
Written for children in the middle elementary grades, this book presents lessons along with practices and activities that reinforce them. As the child contemplates an activity or practice, he or she colors one of forty stones in an illustrated path leading to Easter. The stories, pictures, to color, puzzles, recipes, and prayers are designed to help the child discover not just the "how to" of Lenten practices but also the "why" behind them. Ideal for classroom or family use, everyone can participate in the activities - like taking a nature walk, baking eucharistic bread, holding a reconcilitation service, praying for the hungry, and more.
I love these shoes. Really? The same way I love my wife? What's up with the word "love"? It doesn't have much meaning when we use it so loosely. Maybe we don't really get it. Maybe we don't understand what real love is. What it involves to really love somebody. What it means to give yourself to someone else. We mistake things like friendship, commitment or lust for love, but God wired us in a certain way to experience all that love was really meant to be. Not to hold us back or make us miss out on the best that life has to offer. God created love, and wants us to feel it all in the way it's meant to be felt. Flame is the second DVD of the NOOMA® series - short films appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more. Like parables, they use the experiences of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love. The study materials accompanying each NOOMA® encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references.
