They were rulers, servants, teachers, doctors. They were male, female, single, married. Yet one common denominator united them: they all put their faith in God's promises. Because of God's promises, Noah built an ark on dry land, Abraham went to a distant land, Joshua claimed the Promised Land, David became king, Peter preached the first sermon, and John caught a glimpse of the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The stories of the men and women in Scripture were different, but the theme was the same: they were people of the Promise. Since the beginning of time, God's relationship to humankind has been shaped by specific requirements and promises. These covenants were unchangeable decrees that defined the outflow of history. Some of the promises were positive, the assurance of blessings. Some of them were negative, the guarantee of consequence. But all the promises were binding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This world has a tremble to it. There are things that seem unsteady in this life. But when we belong to God, it allows us to filter our problems through the promises of God. When crises arise, we can simply mutter, \"But God said\u0026amp;...\" When struggles threaten, we can be seen flipping through the Bible, saying, \"I know that God said something about this.\" When we choose to be people of the promise, we choose to build our lives on promises of God not the circumstances of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is through the great and precious promises that we participate in the divine nature of God. They sit like golden stones in the pathway to God's world. They are strong boulders that form the bridge over which we walk from our sin to salvation. They aren't just great, they are \"very great\"; and they aren't just valuable, they are \"precious.\" To bind them around our neck is to adorn ourselves with the finest jewels of the universe. As Dwight Moody put it, \"If you would spend a month feeding on the precious promises of God-you wouldn't be going about complaining how poor you are.

It is a principle Jesus lived out in his own life. While he was accused of much, he was never described as being grumpy or perpetually somber.

Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *Jesus* will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Designed for use with the *Jesus Video Study* (sold separately).","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561374122271,"sku":"9780310105831","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780310105831_1465690.jpg?v=1769133824"},{"product_id":"3-16-the-numbers-of-hope-study-guide-plus-streaming-video-edition-2022-598226","title":"3: 16 the Numbers of Hope (Study Guide Plus Streaming Video, Edition 2022)","description":"This study guide includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Individual access to 5 streaming video sessions\u003cbr\u003e* Discussion and reflection questions with video notes\u003cbr\u003e* Personal study for between sessions\u003cbr\u003e* Leader's Guide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this updated classic, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado unpacks the meaning behind John 3:16, one of the best-known and most-beloved passages in the Bible. This simple verse came out of an unusual conversation that Jesus had under the cover of night with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From the start, Nicodemus made it clear he inhabited a land of good efforts, sincere gestures, and hard work. Give God your best, his philosophy said, and God does the rest. Jesus' response? Your best won't do. Your works don't work. Unless you are born again, you can't even see what God is doing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born again. The word born, by definition, implies a passive act. The enwombed child contributes nothing to the delivery. Postpartum celebrations applaud the work of the mother who does the delivery. And the Greek term that Jesus used for again implies that the one who did the work the first time will repeat it. In other words, the original Creator will re-create his creation! Born: God exerts the effort. Again: God restores the beauty. We don't try again. We need, not the muscle of self, but a miracle of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The thought bewildered Nicodemus. \"How can this be?\" he asked. Jesus answered by leading him to the Hope diamond of the Bible: \"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\" A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment ... yet solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. As this study will reveal, the heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God's treatment for the human heart is prescribed in John 3:16: \"He loves. He gave. We believe. We live.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The five sessions include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. The Most Famous Conversation in the Bible\u003cbr\u003e2. Hope for the Hard Heart\u003cbr\u003e3.

As he said to them, \"You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth\" (Acts 1:8 NKJV).

It’s too late to change that._ Or, _I’ve had this addiction for a lot of years. I just can’t give it up._ God’s perspective, however, is that every single person is a work in progress, and it is his goal to take us and to shape us more and more into the image of Christ. This study encourages us to interact with God. All you need to do is call on him. 'God, help me! Change me so that I don’t have to be the person I am.
