About the Study Guide
After you’ve read the assigned portion in the book, begin to work through the questions and exercises in this guide. They are designed to help you reflect on God’s Word and apply it. (Please note that I quote primarily from the 1984 edition of the New International Version, and most questions are shaped around that translation.)
Each week’s lesson also includes:
an “Israel Moment” sidebar. Designed to complement my video discussions with Amy Turnage, Director of Operations at the Center
for Holy Lands Studies, these sidebars offer insights into the land thatshaped Jesus and His ministry. The first three weeks also feature a “Word Time” sidebar outlining ways to go deeper in your walk with God. Corresponding videos will be shown in class if there is time.a “Make a Plan” assignment. Each week, you’ll be encouraged to come up with action steps to apply the truths you’ve learned as you follow through on that plan during the upcoming week.
a “Who I Am in Christ” journal prompt. Part of stepping out of our tombs involves allowing God to redefine us and replace lies
with truth. Each week, you’ll be asked to respond prayerfully to that process.a memory verse. Over the course of the study, you’ll be asked to memorize seven verses. If that seems too overwhelming, choose one
or two verses to focus on. Don’t worry; I’ll share some memorizing techniques that have helped me!a video guide. With fill-in-the-blank prompts, these pages help capture key points from the DVD session so that you can refer to
them later.a “Closing Time” reflection. At the end of each lesson you’ll have a chance to respond to what the Lord has impressed on your heart
throughout the week and in the teaching session.
