    Discover the Secret of Paul’s Joy
    Despite being imprisoned for his beliefs, Paul writes a joyful letter to his partners in the gospel. Paul’s experiences give him authority when he challenges them to persevere in the work of Christ and when he instructs them how they can find peace and contentment in perilous times. As we read, we, too, can discover the secret of Paul’s joy and experience his triumphant confidence in Christ.

    Philippians - The Navigators

    introduction to

    TH1NK

    LifeChange

    Double-Edged and Ready for Action

    For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

    Hebrews 4:12

    a reason to study

    Studying the Bible is more than homework. It is more than reading a textbook. And it is more than an opportunity for a social gathering. As Hebrews suggests, the Bible knows us, challenges us, and yes, judges us. Like a double-edged sword, it’s sharp enough to cut through our layers of insecurity and pretense to change our lives forever.

    Deep down, isn’t that what we want — to actually experience God’s power in our lives, through Scripture? That’s what TH1NK LifeChange is all about. The purpose of this Bible study is to connect you intimately with God’s Word. It can change you, not only intellectually but also spiritually, emotionally, maybe even physically. God’s Word is that powerful.

    The psalmist wrote,

    What you say goes, God,

    and stays, as permanent as the heavens.

    Your truth never goes out of fashion;

    it’s as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up….

    If your revelation hadn’t delighted me so,

    I would have given up when the hard times came.

    But I’ll never forget the advice you gave me;

    you saved my life with those wise words.

    Save me! I’m all yours.

    I look high and low for your words of wisdom.

    The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me,

    but I’m only concerned with your plans for me.

    I see the limits to everything human,

    but the horizons can’t contain your commands!

    (PSALM 119:89-90,92-96, MSG)

    Do you notice the intimate connection the psalmist has with God because of the greatness of the Word? He trusts God, he loves Him, and his greatest desire is to obey Him. But the only way he knows how to do any of this is by knowing God’s voice, God’s words.

    the details

    Each TH1NK LifeChange study covers one book of the Bible so you can concentrate on its particular, essential details. Although every study exclusively covers a different book, there are common threads throughout the series. Each study will:

    1.  Help you understand the book you’re studying so well that it affects your daily thinking

    2.  Teach valuable Bible study skills you can use on your own to go even deeper into God’s Word

    3.  Provide a contextual understanding of the book, offering historical background, word definitions, and explanatory notes

    4.  Allow you to understand the message of the book as a whole

    5.  Demonstrate how God’s Word can transform you into an authentic representative of Jesus

    Every week, plan on spending thirty to forty-five minutes on your own to complete the study. Then get together with your group. Depending on the amount of time it takes, you can go through either a whole or half lesson each week. If
