Abiding in Christ
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love." John 15:9
Before Jesus left this world he gave specific encouragement and instructions to his disciples on what to expect and how to live after he had gone. These words still apply to his disciples today.
In Abiding in Christ, trusted guides J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom lead you through a study of Jesus' farewell to his disciples in John 14--17 to help you discover what it means to abide in Christ during the time between Christ's departure and his second coming.

Hope: Never Beyond Hope
Ever feel like a hopeless sinner?
Look at the lives of Samson, Peter and Martha.
God used their imperfections, and he can certainly use yours--no matter how bad you think they are.
The Bible offers hope and encouragement through the testimonies of those that have gone before you. In this Christian Basics Bible Study, based on relevant stories from the Bible and on Never Beyond Hope by J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom, you'll discover that just as these men and women of Scripture failed, they were also redeemed by God.
And God wants to do the same for you.
