How God Speaks
The best life to live is the one lived according to God’s plan, but how do we know what that plan is? God does not leave us alone to try and figure out how to live life. Through Old and New Testament Scriptures, we can discern God's voice as He graciously provides avenues for us to know and follow Him.
The Beauty of Forgiveness
One of the greatest needs in our culture and inside the church is the need for forgiveness. We all need forgiveness from God, while we crave forgiveness, we often struggle with extending forgiveness to others. These seven sessions will examine the cry, source, picture, reason, path, declaration, and evidence of forgiveness.

Jesus, God with Us
The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ; therefore, it’s important that we have a firm understanding of who Jesus is. The Bible confirms Jesus’s full deity and humanity. Understanding these essential truths will help us surrender to Him, live godly lives, and lead others to follow Him also.
The Lifestyle of a Witness
Witnessing isn’t just about sharing words—it’s about living in a way that consistently points others to Christ. This study examines what Scripture has to say, so we can better understand our responsibility as believers, to live as a witness for Christ.

DISCIPLESHIP PATHWAY
Discipleship is the lifestyle of walking with God. This walk tends to follow a pathway as followers become more like Christ and advance His kingdom.
Every pathway has signposts—markers to show a person's progress. Lifeway Research has identified eight signposts of discipleship—lifestyle patterns that ought to be growing in ever-increasing measure the longer a person walks the pathway of discipleship.
YOU Bible study curriculum is designed so that each of the following categories (signposts) are addressed over the course of a year. This ensures a balanced approach to Bible study as group members advance to spiritual maturity.
