  • 242 Groups - Lesson 13 - Reading for Transformation: Learning to Meditate over God's Word

    When it comes to how people change, if you could only choose one way to help people at all levels of spiritual maturity grow in their relationship with God, the choice is clear: encourage and equip people in how to read the Bible, how to meditate on God’s word. There is no way to grow in the knowledge of God, deepen your faith, grow in your love for God and increase your hope without engaging daily with the Bible. How can reading the Bible move from “need to” to “get to,” from a duty to a delight?

  • 242 Groups - Lesson 14 - Some Small Thoughts on Beginning to Pray
    Prayer is to life with God what oxygen is to our physical existence. At its heart, prayer is growing in friendship with the God who first loved us. Prayer is the most important activity of our lives, but most of us feel like we’re horribly bad at it. To help us, Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer – so simple a small child can memorize it, but so profound that it can sustain and nourish a lifetime of prayer.

  • 242 Groups - Lesson 11 - Grounded in the Gospel
    The gospel is not just how we begin the Christian life. The gospel is also how we grow in the Christian life. It’s not just the ABCs of the Christian life; the gospel is the A-Z of the Christian life. It’s what we always must come back to in order to grow. Growing in Christ, growing in holiness, becoming strong, mature disciples of Jesus – these are all different ways of saying the same thing. The New Testament writers expect that we will grow (Eph. 4:15, 2 Pet. 3:18), but no matte...

  • 242 Groups - Lesson 10 - The Holy Spirit : God's Empowering Presence
    The Bible makes the astounding claim that we are temples of the Holy Spirit, God’s dwelling place on earth (1 Cor. 3:16, Eph. 2:22). If we don’t have the Spirit then we don’t belong to Christ (Rom. 8:9). And yet, for far too many of us, the Spirit remains an anonymous, faceless aspect of the Divine Being, unknown and unappreciated. The Spirit is how we experience God’s presence and power in our lives today, and the real agent of change in our lives.

  • 242 Groups - Lesson 6 - Justification: The Main Hinge on Which Christianity Turns
    You can’t understand the gospel without understanding justification. Here is the way a child’s catechism from the 17th century defines it: Question: What is Justification? Answer: Justification is an act of God’s free grace, wherein He pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in His sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone.

  • 242 Groups - Lesson 7 - Idolatry: Every Human’s Battle Each Day
    One of the Bible’s most provocative teachings is that idolatry is both our biggest problem, and the sin underneath every other sin. Idolatry, the worship of other gods, is not merely the domain of ancient peoples in primitive places. God tells us, in the Ten Commandments, that idolatry lies at the heart of our biggest problems.
