I Samuel 15:33

This five day plan walks the believer on God's proven pathway to courage in the shadow of giants.  Courage doesn't happen in a moment.  It is shaped by God and demonstrated in the crisis.

Browse the Bible Study section at any Christian bookseller or website, and you will see plenty of Bible studies on the heroes of the faith: Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, and so on. What about the terrible, most evil people in the Scriptures? Why are there no Bible studies written about them? Studying them will allow us to understand God’s sovereignty better: He uses the “good guys” and the “bad guys” of Scripture to accomplish His perfect will. This study will examine one of those bad guys: King Saul, the King of Excuses.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

It’s easy to put our relationship with God on autopilot, but God has more for you! A life of devotion to Christ always results in growth. Out of the overflow of what God does in our lives, we long to follow Him wherever He leads. If you’re ready to breathe new life into your walk with God, and to see fear replaced with faith, this plan is for you!
