The Journey Home

Thinking our way home, In this study, we are learning how to think our way home - how to think as we persevere to the end. There is no glorification with Christ apart from suffering with Christ. The world hates Him and hates His people, so the child of God is destined for suffering. How to we deal with suffering? God gives us courage not through positive thinking, but through truthful thinking about our world (its current pain and future deliverance), about ourselves (our current mixture of troubles and foretastes of a new day), and about our hope as believers. The Book Speaks Of: What we know about our world - its current pain and its future deliverance. What we know about ourselves - our current mixture of troubles and foretastes of a new day. The believer's hope for the future - who has it, what it requires and what it rests on. The Life of True Humility, This study helps us know what the book of James teaches about humility - what it isn't, what it is why it's essential, and how to get it. It explains why we need to stop trying to act humble, then points us toward receiving true humility as a gift from God. The book includes study questions for personal application and discussion.
