Commit: Releasing the Hold of Reluctance

Commit Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for four sessions, applicable Scripture, interesting quotes, and discussion questions.

Commitment can be terrifying. We're afraid that our future will be forever altered if we make a wrong commitment in the present. The result? Hesitancy. Reluctance. But the Bible paints a much different picture of commitment. Committing to the right things can be exactly what we need when we're unsure what the future holds. This study will guide us to a better understanding of some of those things.
