Called for a Purpose

The letters of Peter and Jude challenge you to recognize your identity as a chosen friend of God--and therefore, to live a holy life. Originally addressed to persecuted believers of the first century, these words encourage you to face trials with a living hope, certain of Christ's return, and warn you of the danger of false teaching and spiritual lethargy--advice as timely today as it was for the early Christians. If you are serious about understanding God's purpose for you, you've come to the right place.

This study guide links the truths of the proverbs and the parables and applies them to comtemporary living. It offers penetrating questions, a flexible format for groups and helpful leader's notes.

Walk in the Light

Centuries ago, the apostle John wrote to new believers to instruct them in how to live godly lives. Today, John's words still hold truth and power as we struggle and triumph in our desire to "walk in the light" with God and others. 1,2,3 John: How Should a Christian Live? invites us to grow in maturity as God's children while we learn more about what it means to live a radically transformed life.
