Synopsis The Pursuing God by : Joshua Ryan Butler

Is God lost? Many of us feel that way. It’s as if God’s gone missing, out in the universe somewhere—and we must pick up the hunt, following any trail of breadcrumbs he may have left to go out and find him. We speak of “searching for God,” “exploring spirituality,” and “finding faith.” But what if we have it backward? What if God is the one pursuing us? What if our job is not to go out and find God, but simply to stop running and hiding? Not to earn God’s love, but to receive it? Not to turn on the light, but to step out of the shadows? Jesus reveals a God on the prowl, pursuing us, hunting down his world for reconciliation. And the question we’re left with is not whether we’ve pursued hard enough, searched long enough, or jumped high enough . . . The question is, “Do we want to be found?”

Synopsis Pursuing God's Beauty by : Margaret Feinberg

In this six-session small group Bible study, Margaret Feinberg looks at six stories of beauty from the Gospel of John that illustrate how God's beauty is present in our lives. God created us to be drawn toward beauty--created us to pursue beauty so that we might know more about His character, attributes, and work in our world. Perhaps no book of the Bible paints a clearer picture of this than the Gospel of John. Throughout John's Gospel, the beauty of God radiates in the person of Jesus Christ--the one in whom God displayed His whole heart for the world to see. It's within the person of Jesus that we find the invisible attributes of God being made visible, on display like fine pieces of artwork--to be enjoyed, celebrated, and reflected on. Sessions include: Encountering Jesus (John 1 - 3) (18:00) When God Sees through You (John 4 - 8) (20:00) Recognizing the Blind Spots (John 9 - 11) (17:00) When Worship Costs More than Expected (John 12 - 17) (16:00) Mistakes that Refine Instead of Define (John 18 - 19) (13:00) The Hope and Healing of Resurrection (John 20 - 21) (15:00) This guide contains one guide and one DVD.

Synopsis God's Pursuit of Man by : A. W. Tozer

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side […] a conquest of the Most High God. – A. W. Tozer With words like these, Tozer shakes the soul. He crumbles the lies we believe and calls us to the more sure way. In these pages, Tozer says what it means to truly be saved. It is not merely to assent to Jesus and go on our same old way, but to be conquered by the Almighty God and invaded by His Spirit. A saved person is a transformed person. Let Tozer upend you in this moving prequel to The Pursuit of God. And being upended, may you be found standing upright in an upside-down world.
