The Lord is my shepherd
Psalm 23 is arguably one of the most beautiful and best-loved passages of the Bible. It particularly speaks to those who, like David, are experiencing major upheavel in their lives. But whatever our experience, we can draw from this psalm timeless truths about God which, once absorbed, will transform our perspective and enable us to deal with difficulties that come our way.
This Bible study seeks to help us understand David's revelation of God as a shepherd. More than that, however, we are pointed towards the full revelation of God displayed for us in the birth, life and death of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: Growing more like Jesus.
How does God go about painting a portrait of a saint? His canvas is the heart of one who is redeemed. The colours He puts on His palette are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. The model He uses is Jesus, in whom every quality is seen to perfection and wonderfully balanced by every other. All God asks is that you hold still - that you stop trying and start trusting. Do this and, in the truest sense of the word, you will become a saint and bear fruit that will last and glorify Him.

Nehemiah: Principles for Life
However effectively you may be serving the Lord now, the study of Nehemiah will help you serve Him better. How do we react when we see God's principles disregarded. His 'walls' being broken down? Do our personal concerns take priority over God's concerns? Nehemiah put first things first. So must we. He fulfils his mission to restore people to God and he overcomes intense opposition by a life of prayer. Nehemiah could hardly be a better role model for us today as we seek to rebuild spiritual truth and restore our own neighbours and nation to God.
Seven stimulating sessions lasting 1-2 hours, an introduction from the author sets the topic in context, opening icebreakers, Bible references, discussion starters, suggestions for personal application, helpful notes for group leaders.
THE LORD'S PRAYER. The words of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer and are seemingly so simple, yet they encompass every conceivable element in prayer and provide a clearly understood pattern. The more we understand this model and are encouraged to pray in line with it, the more powerful and productive our prayer life will become. We must lay our praying alongside Jesus' pattern in order that our prayers might become more like His. In this Bible study, Selwyn Hughes and Ian Sewter take us phrase by phrase through the Lord's Prayer, helping us to consider, among other things, the importance of seeing God as our Father, submitting to God's will, dealing with temptation and the freedom that comes through forgiving and knowing we are forgiven.

Living in the light of Jesus' return
The second coming of Jesus is a subject that seems to have been debated endlessly. Many Christian step back from the discussion, feeling overwhelmed by what they see as incomprehensible. This Bible study seeks to help us grasp what we really can know of the second coming from the pages of Scripture, and then to apply this to our lives. Far from predicting times and dates of Christ's return, here the encouragement is to accept the wonderful truth that He will come again and let the light of that hope flood our lives and enable us to serve Him effectively.
