Grace

Pursuing Spiritual Transformation Grace: an invitation to a way of life by John Ortberg, Laurie Pederson, Judson Poling Willow Creek Resources, 2000 (ISBN: 0310220742)


 

Many Christians have an easier time being saved by grace than they do living in grace every day. But grace is at the center of the life God calls us to-and reflects the heart of the One who calls. These studies in GRACE will help you make the connection between grace as a remote biblical concept and grace as a lifestyle – a reality you experience day in, day out. Through an unfolding study of Psalm 23, you’ll learn how God-our Good Shepherd-is for you, how he longs to walk with you through temptation, sorrow and even deep regret. You’ll discover God’s desire to make His joy your joy. Throughout, you’ll learn how enduring, powerful and life - affirming God’s work in your life can be - and rediscover why it’s called Amazing Grace.


 

Giving

Pursuing Spiritual Transformation Growth: training vs. trying by John Ortberg, Laurie Pederson, Judson Poling
Willow Creek Resources, 2000 (ISBN:0310220750)


Good stewardship is more than a responsibility - it's an adventure! The seven sessions in Giving help participants grow in their understanding of biblical stewardship, and the 'heart-wallet' connection. Discover how money management is a powerful tool for shaping your character and the way giving is as much a part of spiritual growth as prayer and Bible study. Gain practical tools for cultivating wise financial habits and a generous heart that will reflect God's heart and how He freely gives to us.
