How To Be Rich

You can find plenty of advice on how to get rich. But where do you learn to be rich? And how do you define "rich" in the first place? In this four-part series, Andy Stanley moves beyond the "get rich" mentality and explains God's instructions for the vast majority of us who are already blessed with more than we need.

It Came From Within

Where did that come from? You know that horrible, sinking feeling you have when something comes out of your mouth that you didn't expect - that is just so unlike you. Did you know those words are a reflection of a bigger problem lurking beneath the surface? The scary truth is that the words you "accidentally" speak and the actions you later regret are actually in keeping with what's hiding in your heart. (5 sessions)

Judgment Call

Most of us are familiar with Jesus’ instructions not to judge others. But what exactly did he mean? Are we supposed to look away when a close friend or family member is doing something dishonest or immoral? Are there times when it is wrong not to judge?
In this five-part series, Andy Stanley tackles this confusing and often misunderstood topic. We learn the steps to take before confronting others—and how to react when someone judges us.

LO$T

When it comes to finances, it is easy to be lost and not even know it. There are many ways we become financially lost - sometimes we start off with a bad map, or perhaps we take a wrong turn accidentally, or maybe we get distracted by something we think we need. Whatever the reason, once we realize we are lost, we wonder how we got lost, and wonder even more how we can find our way back. The task can be daunting, but the good news is that God has given us clear directions to guide the way. (6 sessions)

Discovering God's Will

Discovering God's will can be a difficult process, especially when we need to make a decision in a hurry. This eight-session study series explores God's providential, moral, and personal will and how God uses other people and the principles of scripture to guide us as we attempt to discover the personal vision He has for our lives.

Go Fish

Fishing stories. We've all heard them. "It was this big." "You should have seen the one that got away." People love to tell stories of their fishing adventures. When it comes to faith, however, most people clam up. Why is it we can't talk about what God has done in our lives as naturally as we can spin fishing tales? 6 sessions.

Life Rules

When we were kids, half the fun was breaking the rules without getting caught. In life though, there's nothing fun about broken promises, broken relationships, or a broken heart. In this six-part series, Andy Stanley explains that God has given us a set of life rules that can improve our current relationships and help restore a damaged or broken one.

Take It To the Limit

A six-part series for those whose schedules are too full and whose checking accounts are too empty! Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. Life on the edge means life with no margin. Life without margin is a recipe for personal disaster. Margin is the space between your current performance and your limits. We will explore God's answer to our self-destructive propensity to live as if we have no limits.

The Sinai Code

Thirty-five hundred years ago Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with a short list of rules that has shaped the values of men and nations for centuries. We know them as the Ten Commandments, but do we really know them? Some would argue that it is the Ten Commandments that set the stage for mankind to feel as if we must perform our way into God's good graces, but was that the reason they were given? In this six-session series, Andy Stanley dispels the common misconceptions about the Ten Commandments and reveals the role that they should play in our lives today.

Twisted

In this five-part series Andy Stanley reveals common ways the truth gets twisted. Each one has the potential to destroy your relationships, cloud your decisions, and distort your perspective of God. Discover how the truth has been twisted, and how it impacts our lives and culture.

Text

In a meeting. At dinner. On the golf course. No matter when or where you hear the familiar "ding" on your cell phone, a text message gets your immediate attention. You're compelled to pull the phone out of your pocket and read it. But what if God sent you a text message?

God has, in fact, sent you a message--it's called the Bible. In this amazing collection of writings, you'll find poetry, prophecy, biography, war, sex, and betrayal. And most importantly, you'll find the story of a loving Father who goes to incredible lengths to redeem his children. The message is waiting. Have you read it? (3 sessions)

Permission to Speak Freely

Two thousand years ago, Jesus pulled His disciples aside and taught them to pray. In examining His instructions, we find a disconnect between His teaching and the way we typically approach prayer. We discover that there are some things about prayer we think are important but aren't, and there are some things we don't think are important that are. (3 sessions)

Chasing Daylight

Adventure awaits. Opportunity is all around us. In Chasing Daylight, Erwin McManus calls us to risk everything for a life of genuine purpose.

The biblical character of Jonathan was a man on a mission. In faith and doubt, he stepped out to launch a daring attack that energized his people. With that attitude, we can be movers and shakers rather than moaners and slackers. McManus culls eight characteristics of an adventurer’s heart, what he calls “The Jonathan Factor.”

Just Walk Across The Room

If we call ourselves "Christ-followers," then it's time we walk where our Leader would walk, and talk as he would talk. This calls for flat-out teamwork with the Spirit of God.

In his latest work, award-winning author Bill Hybels reveals a highly successful evangelism approach based on trusting Christ's guiding spirit and sharing friendship's transforming love:

• Offering radical acceptance and love to people God places around us, regardless of their appearance and lifestyle
• Learning their life stories
• Enveloping them in grace-filled community

Letters to the Next President

If you had the opportunity to write a letter to our next President and you knew it would show up on his desk in the Oval Office . . . what would you say? What advice would you offer? What changes would you suggest?
What if God were to write a letter to our next President? What do you think he would say?
In Letters To The Next President, Andy Stanley extracts three extraordinary leadership principles from the stories of three ancient political leaders: a Babylonian king, a Judean governor, and an Egyptian pharaoh.
As you listen, you will discover that these leadership lessons are not just applicable to those who hold public office, but to leaders everywhere.
Whether your leadership context is home, business, team, or classroom, these three principles will help you maximize your leadership potential.

Heroes

How will you respond?
In this four-part series, Andy Stanley studies the examples of biblical figures and modern-day heroes and explains the two characteristics all heroes have in common.
