Parables
Led by David Price
Jesus told stories about everyday life, but they were stories with a twist. He intended to disturb people’s assumptions about life. His short parables not only evoked emotion, they demanded life change. The Master Storyteller’s parable still speak to us today in powerful images that will disturb our assumptions and lead us toward life change as well.

Romans: The Letter that Changed the World (Vol 2)
by Tommy Nelson
The most important idea in the Bible is how a Holy God can get a sinful man into Heaven and not compromise who He is. Romans tells us just that! It sits as Master of the House before all of Paul’s writings. It is a Bible in miniature. In our study in Romans (Part 2) we will look at Paul’s unfolding logic and incisive reasoning as to the divinity and holiness of the Christian Gospel. (Co-ed study)

Annointed, Transformed, Redeemed
by Beth Moore
Taped at the 2007 Deeper Still event, three women explored their lives and the life of David. Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David contains the audio and video portions of the Deeper Still conference featuring Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, and Kay Arthur.
You’ll laugh with them, cry with them, and learn to love God with them. These authors' messages are divided into three segments, two lessons each. Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (by Priscilla Shirer), as a middleaged man (by Beth Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (by Kay Arthur).(Ladies only)

Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman
by Beth Moore
If you’ve ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther’s day, it’s tough today. Beth peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to us. This portion of God’s Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives. An 11 week interactive study with daily assignments and weekly group sessions. (Ladies only)

Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit
by Francis Chan
In the name of the Father, the Son, and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it.
Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church’s power—the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan’s invitation to stop and remember the One we’ve forgotten, the Spirit of the living God. (Co-ed study)

The Screwtape Letters
by C.S. Lewis
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation and triumph over it -- ever written. This study will explore the pages of this classic book and provide a great source of discussion for Godly living.
