The Christian life is not up and to the right but a lifelong series of highs and lows that the Holy Spirit uses to shape us into people who look like Jesus. In this six-session series, pastor and author Matt Chandler guides us through Jesus’ beatitudes found in Matthew 5. As we live out our Christian faith, Jesus develops in us a new way of living so we can be people who reflect God's kingdom.

Traditional Leader Guide and Discussion Guide available online and printed for groups
This series by Lifeway is designed to help believers grow in Christlike character. It emphasizes that true character is not just a set of beliefs but is shaped by a relationship with God and His Word. The overarching theme is that character matters — it reveals who we truly are and how we live out our faith. Without God, no one can have authentic character; with God, character is possible and abundant. Lessons draw from New Testament passages and examine the qualities of godliness, humility, contentment, generosity and integrity.

Uncommon Grace
Doctrine Study
5-16 minute videos available on RightNow Media
Leader Guide available on RightNow Media
We don't deserve anything good from God. Yet, God gives us grace. Grace is undeserved kindness. Common grace, as an expression of the goodness of God, is every favor falling short of salvation. This undeserving and sin-cursed world has enjoyment at the hand of God. This includes the delay of wrath, the mitigation of our sin natures, natural events that lead to prosperity, and all gifts that human use and enjoy naturally.
The doctrine of common grace is one of the most significant missing links in modern understandings of Christianity. We have so compartmentalized our lives into “spiritual” and “secular” that we miss out on the endless opportunities God gives us to consciously receive and intentionally reflect His goodness in the world. And yet, we are constantly surrounded by and invited into God’s grace in ways we often don’t recognize.
Join Michael Kelsey as he unpacks the definition of common grace, God's saving grace, and ultimately his eternal grace. You will be humbled, awe-struck, and moved to worship by this inspiring series.

This Lifeway series is designed to encourage believers to step boldly for God, trusting in His promises rather than worldly risks. In Christ, believers have a guaranteed return on investment—eternal life and salvation—unlike risky ventures like scams or pyramid schemes, which often yield no reward. It calls for diligent, all-in faith and inspires participants to walk boldly for Christ through studying such risk takers as Noah, Joshua, Rahab, David, John the Baptist, and Stephen.
