Think Like Jesus Study Guide

According to researcher George Barna, most born-again Christians live indistinctly from non-believers because they do not think any differently--which is a result of not understanding the basic truths of the Christian faith. In this book, Barna identifies seven core questions that Christians must be able to answer biblically in order to live a transformed life.

Randy Frazee teaches you and your group how to confidently know what you believe and how to dig into Scripture to see for yourself the biblical foundation for those beliefs. Think about the last time someone put you on the spot and questioned what this whole Christianity thing is all about. Maybe they asked you why going to church matters, or how you could possibly believe the Bible, or how God could really care if there's so much bad happening in the world. Do you feel unsettled by questions like these? In this 8-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), you'll dig into eight key beliefs about a Jesus-follower's relationship with God and with others. And you'll explore the answers to essential questions like: Who Is God? Does God Care About Me? How Do I Have a Relationship with God? How Does the Bible Guide My Life? Who Am I in Christ? What Is the Purpose of the Church? How Does God Value People? What Is Eternity Going to Be Like? This study is adapted from the Think portions of the Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee. It’s designed for use with the Think Like Jesus Video Study (9780310118558) available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

In this eight-session revised study, Randy Frazee explores eight key spiritual disciplines that---when practiced daily and consistently---lead to spiritual transformation in our lives, the church, and the world.

The Bible teaches that the goal of the Christian life is to become like Jesus—for our own personal growth and for the sake of others. Every believer needs to ask three big questions: What do I believe? What should I do? And who am I becoming? In Think, Act, Be Like Jesus, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee helps readers grasp the vision of the Christian life and get started on the journey of discipleship. After unfolding the revolutionary dream of Jesus and showing how our lives fit into the big picture of what God is doing in the world, Frazee walks readers through thirty short chapters exploring the ten core beliefs, ten core practices, and ten core virtues that help disciples to think, act, and be more like Jesus Christ. This compelling new book can be used in conjunction with the 30-week all-church Believe campaign or read separately as an individual study. Either way, readers will deepen their understanding of what it means to not just know the Story of God, but to live it.

In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD and digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that when Jesus saves us and ushers us into his kingdom, he begins a process of transformation within us that starts with our thoughts. As God begins to transform our minds, we begin to think like Jesus and believe like Jesus. For this reason, it is important for us to understand the eight key beliefs of the Christian faith that--when embraced in our hearts and minds--create true change in our lives, in the church, and in the world: I believe the God of the Bible is the one true God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe God is involved in and cares about my daily life. I believe we come into a right relationship with God, by his grace, through faith in Jesus. I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right to command my beliefs and actions. I believe I am significant because of my position as a child of God. I believe the church is God's primary way to accomplish his purposes on earth today. I believe all people are loved by God and need Jesus Christ as their Savior. I believe that Jesus will return to judge all people and establish his eternal kingdom. Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Think Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your beliefs.

In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes: I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life. I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life. I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself. I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors. I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger. I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others. I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships. I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others. Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors.
