3:16 - The Numbers of Hope,
The Church Experience Kit - DVD- 6 weeks of 5 days of study each
Max Lucado
“A 26-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. The heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God’s treatment is prescribed in John 3:16.”
Downpour, He will come to us like the rain, -DVD- 12 sessions

With its powerful call to revival, James MacDonald’s 12 session Bible study leads believers to lift up their eyes and return to the Lord. When we do, He will heal us…revive us…and restore us. That was the message God gave Hosea, and it’s still true today. So if your church is thirsty for spiritual renewal, there’s a downpour on the horizon. Get ready to soak it in!
The Five Love Languages - DVD- 7 week study

How to express Heart felt commitment to Your Mate
