FINDING GOD EVERY DAY

God of the Ordinary

The book of Ruth may be one of the loveliest short stories ever written, telling an unforgettable tale of purity, faithfulness, innocence, loyalty, duty, and love. Yet it is set in dark times. The final verse of the book of Judges, which precedes Ruth in the Bible, tells us that “in those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25). The time was marked by apostate religion, lawlessness, invasions, and tribal war.

Against this backdrop of strife and chaos, Ruth is a story of ordinary people in Bethlehem making the most of their bad situation—and finding God in the midst of it.

Through this 6-session Bible study, Alistair Begg reminds us that no matter how dark or dramatic our days may seem, God still protects His people and accomplishes His purposes. Within life’s humdrum and routine events, we discover His loving hand at work.

LIVING AS CITIZENS OF GOD'S KINGDOM

KingDom Politics

Many Christians love to talk about politics, but the current conversation is often full of contentious words that divide our churches and families.

In this Bible study, Dr. Tony Evans takes a step back to find foundational Bible principles for integrating politics into our daily lives. He challenges readers to incorporate all of Scripture when addressing divisive issues, forcing us to look at political issues we may have neglected.

When we see government holistically from God’s point of view, we can learn to speak with grace when we disagree with family and friends. We can maintain our political affiliations without causing divisions in our church. And with those who don’t share our opinions, we can still share the compassion and love of Jesus Christ.

WORSHIP • PRAYER • HOPE

Psalms

At the speed this world moves, few people have time to sit down and read a good long book. Ironically, the remedy for this frantic life can be found in Psalms, the longest book of the Bible.

Its length is not the only intimidating factor. Psalms is an ancient book that spans many centuries and relies on multiple authors. But the Psalms are easier to understand than you may realize. And studying them can lead you to new discoveries, relief, awe, and surprise.

In this study, Ray Ortlund will help you see that the Psalms are a place that God has provided to encounter Him and find help, rest, honesty, hope, courage, joy, and the confidence you need to face this crazy life.
