Some of the radical teaching from Jesus in the Gospel of Luke! Following Jesus in today's world means living and thinking in a way that may be totally different from those around you. While others may live for pleasure or success, Jesus tells us to live in a way that serves and pleases our heavenly Father. He wants us to walk the narrow road, a road on which few travel.
Be warned: these studies are not for the person who wants to follow Jesus only on Sundays or Friday nights. If you want to follow Jesus with all your heart - these studies are for you!
> So much to do, and so little time - how do I get everything done in this busy world and still have time to rest? > What does it mean to work in a way that pleases God? > Is it realistic to go to youth group and church every week? > Does a christian behave differently on the sporting field and at parties? > How do I work, rest and play in a way that honors the Lord?
These are very important questions. The great news is that God's word has a lot to say about how to work, rest and play in a way that pleases our creator. These Bible studies are designed to help you work in a way that honors God, rest in order to stay strong as a Christian and be a witness in your leisure activities.

NEW RELEASE
Quiet Times
Quiet Times are custom made for getting your head into the Bible and hearing what God's got to say.
Expect to get brain dumped, smacked down, chewed out, fired up and egged on to keep following Jesus!
Quiet Times#1 looks at Amos, Luke 1-4, Romans 1-8 and Psalms 8, 19, 22 & 46.
Quiet Times#2 looks at Luke 5-9, Romans 9-16 and Proverbs 1-8.
Luke Series
Getting to know Jesus is the greatest thing a young person can do and the Gospel of Luke is an excellent place to start. In these six studies, you will learn about how powerful Jesus really is. You will see that he is the fulfillment of God's plan for salvation, stronger than satan, the one who can forgive sins and is more powerful than death itself. You will also read about how the king of the universe came to suffer and die on the cross for us.
