Erwin McManus uses the biblical account of Israel's war with the Philistines(1Samuel 13-14) and the characters of
Jonathan and Saul to demonstrate the difference between living a life of purpose and adventure, and living one of
apathy and missed opportunity. Through this story, McManus artfully illustrates the 8 characteristics of an
adveturer's heart, what he calls the "Jonathan factor." He uses powerful examples from his own life, along with
fresh biblical teaching to assert that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us-priceless opportunities for us
to actively engage in God's big-picture plan.

(DVD938) GRACE
MAX LUCADO
2012
3
Grace.
We talk as though we understand the term. The bank gives us a "grace" period. The seedy politician falls from
"grace." Musicians speak of a "grace" note. We describe an actress as "gracious," a dancer as "graceful." We use the
word for hospitals, baby girls, kings, and premeal prayers. We talk as though we know what "grace" means.
But do we really understand it? Have we settled for wimpy grace? It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn, fits nicely
on a church sign. Never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, "Do you believe in grace?" who could
say no?
Max Lucado asks a deeper question: Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace? Strengthened by grace?
Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace?
God's grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about
it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it.
From afraid to die to ready to fly.
Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.
Let's make certain grace gets you.

CHIP INGRAM
2009

Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with Him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not
earning His love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks
progressively more like His life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is
surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love and supernaturally
responds to evil with good. Christians who live out this kind of lifestyle are what we call r12 Christians. God is willing
to go deeper and grow you into a real disciple... are you ready?

ANNE GRAHAM LOTZ
2007
1
When we call ourselves Christians, we expect that our love for Jesus, our hunger for His presence, our urgent
longing to see Him again will be a constant, motivating force in our lives, writes Anne Graham Lotz. Yet sometimes
...in the busyness of our days or the duties of our jobs or the familiar habits of our worship or the everyday routine
of our homes, the longing becomes complacency, and we sleep through opportunities to be with Him. Anne knows
from personal experience that it's then, as we're drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake-up
call---a jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has
died down to an ineffective glow. The revival we need now is not a tent meeting or a series of church services
designed to save the lost. It's something completely different: authentic, personal revival. In I Saw the Lord, Anne
shares the revival lessons she has carried to audiences throughout the world, showing you how you can experience
an authentic, deeper, richer relationship with God in a life-changing, fire-blazing revival.

KYLE IDLEMAN

Twenty times in the New Testament, Jesus issued a compelling and challenging invitation to Follow Him. He’s not
interested in mere fans. He doesn’t want enthusiastic admirers. He wants Completely Committed Followers. Based

one’s self and truly follow Jesus.
This unconventional small group experience is a cinematic journey through a series of six mini-movies providing a
unique perspective to help shape today’s believer into a first century Christ-follower. Follow the journey of Eric
Nelson, a man leading a compartmentalized triple life as a pleasure-seeking rebel, a cutthroat corporate executive,
and a nominal Christian. When confronted with a near death experience, Eric embarks on a spiritual journey that
transforms his commitment to Jesus Christ and tests the faith of his friends and family.

team of Hyde Park United Methodist Church in Tampa, Florida, and shared with congregations of a variety of sizes
and demographics, this dynamic and engaging study serves as the perfect introduction for new member classes or a
refresher course for seasoned church members desiring to take the next step in discipleship. It also may be used by
groups in a church-wide emphasis on discipleship.
Combining a Wesleyan understanding of our growth in God’s love and grace with the time-tested practices of
spiritual discipline as expressed in the membership vows to uphold the church with our presence, prayers, gifts,
service, and witness, participants will discover the difference it makes to live out their commitment to Christ
through membership in the United Methodist Church. They will learn that being a disciple means loving God and
loving others, and they will be equipped to do that by discovering their unique gifts and becoming engaged in
ministry that also brings transformation in their own hearts and lives through the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
