Canvas God created a world that was designed to reflect His glory. Our lives are tapestries created by Him. He is working on the canvas of our lives so we can bring glory to Him. That is our sole purpose here on earth. But instead of following His agenda, we followed our own. Because of our choice, He leveraged our sin for His glory by sending His Son to die for our sins. Every time we call Him Father, it is a reminder of His immeasurable greatness and our immeasurable gain. Everything that happens to us in life, whether good or bad, is for His glory. Join Andy Stanley and Louie Giglio as they remind us that one day every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of the Father.

Community: Your Pathway to Progress Community. Its a word we often see, but what does it really mean? And why is it so important in the context of our spiritual lives? In this study, specifically designed for new small groups, you will learn that community is essential to spiritual progress. Community builds you up and adds the element of accountability to your spiritual life.

But a supportive small group will walk with you during the natural difficulties of life. Whether you are a sceptic or a long-time Christian, you need community.

Discovering God's Will Determining God's will can be a difficult process, especially when we need to make a decision in a hurry. In this series, Andy Stanley discusses the providential will of God, the moral will of God, and the personal will of God. He describes how God uses other people and the principles of scripture to guide us as we attempt to discover the personal vision God has for our lives. Four-part series. Easter There's nothing Religious about it The message of Jesus was fueled by a radical new ethic of love. One crucifixion changed everything. This radical love that Jesus offers is available to us and through us. But, do we truly know it and live it? The resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in human history and yet it might surprise you that it has nothing to do with religion. It is actually much bigger than that and relates to how we live our everyday lives.

Faith, Hope and Luck Our faith in God often hinges on his activityor inactivityin our daily experiences. When our prayers are answered, our faith soars. When God is silent, it becomes harder to trust him. When God shows up in an unmistakable way, our confidence in Him reaches new heights. But when he doesn't come through, our confidence often wanes.

Fight Club Of all relationships in life, few are as important or as complicated as the relationships between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, or sisters and brothers. These relationships impact us more than we want to admit.

Drawing largely from personal stories, this four-part DVD explores the unique dynamics of the family. Whether you are a parent or a child, you'll be challenged to put on the gloves and step back into the ring, because when it comes to family, some relationships are worth fighting for.

Five Things God uses to Grow your Faith Your faith in God matters to God. In fact, God is most honored through your living, active, death-defying, out-of-the- box faith. That being the case, hes committed to growing it. Big. Imagine how different your outlook on life would be if you had absolute confidence that God was with you? Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. In other words, imagine what it would be like to have PERFECT faith. In Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith, Andy Stanley builds a biblical case foryou guessed itfive things God uses to grow BIG faith. Go Fish Fishing stories. We've all heard them. "It was this big." "You should have seen the one that got away." People love to tell stories of their fishing adventures. When it comes to faith, however, most people clam up. Why is it we can't talk about what God has done in our lives as naturally as we can spin fishing tales? The sessions of this six-part series includes: We Were All Fish Once, Why Fish?, Fish Guts, Fishing Buddies, Muddy Water, and The One That Got Away. God and Your Bod When it comes to our bodies, we generally veer toward one of two extremes. We either worship it or neglect it. If you are not sure whether you are a body-worshiper or a body-neglecter, then maybe this will help. If a fat gram is something you avoid, you may be a worshiper. If a fat gram brings to mind your overweight grandmother, you may be a neglecter. If you avoid caffeine, you may be a worshiper. If you simply avoid the taste associated with caffeine by putting enough sugar and milk in your coffee to make it taste like a doughnut, you might be a neglecter. It may come as a surprise, but the Bible addresses both body-worshipers and body-neglecters. As we discover in this seven-part series, God has something to say about our eyes, ears, hands, feet, and yes, even our waistlines! God is Great, God is Good In the wake of a natural disaster we come face-to-face with the reality that the world is not as it should be. The jarring images of indiscriminate destruction on the news beg the question, "Why God?" "Why did this happen?" "Why would you allow such meaningless suffering?" While we default to "Why?" perhaps we should be asking another question - "Who?" "Who is this God?" In the face of tragedies and atrocities are we to believe in a God of judgment or a God of love? This two-part series sets out to answer the question of who God is by spanning the Bible from creation to recreation. Along the way you will discover what went wrong with our world and how God has been at work fixing it.

Heroes Heroes - we all have them. There is something in each of us that is drawn to the hero. We admire his clarity of vision in the face of uncertainty. We applaud her quick action while others stand paralyzed on the sidelines. Most of us have dreamed of being a hero. Each of us will have the opportunity, a defining moment in our lives when we will be called upon to act heroically on behalf of someone else. Will you be ready? Will you be a hero? In this four-part series, Andy Stanley explains what it takes to be a hero.

He's still got the Whole World in His Hands How do we remain hopeful in a world that seems to be hopelessly broken? How do we continue to trust a God that seems to be conspicuously absent? How do we maintain peace when the world around us is spinning out of control? If you have ever asked QUESTIONS like these, you are not alone . . . and you are not the first. The Bible is filled with stories of men and women who asked similar questions. Why? Because UNCERTAINTY is nothing new. And the uncertainty we face today is no different than the uncertainty faced by the men and women of the Bible whose stories have inspired us for generations. Chances are your favorite Bible stories involve people whose circumstances left them questioning Gods faithfulness. His presence. His concern. But in time, these men and women experienced Gods faithfulness. In the end, they, like us, were reminded that . . .

How to be Rich You can find plenty of advice on how to get rich. But where do you learn to be rich? And how do you define "rich" in the first place? In this four-part series, Andy Stanley moves beyond the "get rich" mentality and explains God's instructions for the vast majority of us who are already blessed with more than we need. I want to be great So you want to be great? Most of us do. We want to be respected for our great intellects . . . pursued for our great abilities . . . or perhaps admired for our great looks. But when asked, Whos great? few of us would point to people who are merely great at something. Intuitively, we know that true greatness goes beyond skill, talent, intellect, or looks. So what is it? In this four-part series, Andy Stanley and Clay Scroggins take their audiences on a journey through the Old and New Testaments in search of answers to the questions What does it mean to be great? and Who is a candidate for greatness? In the end, you will discover that greatness is always a choice. A choice you have the opportunity to make every day . . . . . . if you want to be GREAT!

iMarriage Standing at the altar, we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like. The problem is this picture of marriage results in expectations that we unload on our spouse. The weight of these expectations will rob your marriage of love and joy. As a spouse you never feel like you measure up and you never feel like you are good enough. So what are you to do with your expectations? You cant deny them, because most expectations started out as God-given desires. In this DVD, Andy Stanley explains that you must learn to transform your expectations and look to God if you are to experience marriage as it was designed.

It Came from Within! Where did that come from? You know that horrible, sinking feeling you have when something comes out of your mouth that you didn't expect - that is just so unlike you. Did you know those words are a reflection of a bigger problem lurking beneath the surface? "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks," states Matthew 12:33. The scary truth is that the words you "accidentally" speak and the actions you later regret are actually in keeping with what's hiding in your heart. In this five-part DVD, Andy Stanley examines four conditions of the heart that are at the root of sour attitudes, hurt-filled relationships, and regretful actions: guilt, jealousy, greed, and anger. These messages will help you fight these creatures where they live by going right to the heart of the matter. It's Personal This powerful series is directed to men and women who desire a personal connection with God, but who have genuine questions, doubts, and concerns. In his creative and casual style, Andy Stanley makes a case for the fact that adults dont become followers of Christ by getting all their questions answered. In most instances, something happens that shrinks those questions. And that something is always personal. You don't have to understand everything to believe in something. Jonah, Lessons from a Man who Ran If you've ever tried to run from God, you're not alone. We've all had times in our lives when we've done things our way instead of God's way. When we run from God our lives begin to unravel and we often hurt the people we love the most. Jonah rebelled against God and suffered terrible consequences but was given a second chance to do God's will. In this 3-part series, Andy Stanley shares important insights from Jonah's story into the nature of God's discipline and his love. The consequences of running can be painful, but from the story of Jonah we learn that God is in the midst of our most difficult circumstances and that he is a God of second chances.

Judgment Call One of the most commonly held beliefs about the Bible is that it teaches us not to judge one another. But is this true? Are there times when it is wrong not to judge? If so, what guidelines does the Bible give for judging others? In this four-part series, Andy Stanley tackles the confusing and often misunderstood topic of judging others. From Jesus' teaching and Paul's instructions to the early church, we learn the appropriate steps to take before confronting others - and how to react when someone points the finger of judgment at us. Letters to the Next President If you had the opportunity to write a letter to our next President and you knew it would show up on his desk in the Oval Office . . . what would you say? What advice would you offer? What changes would you suggest? What if God were to write a letter to our next President? What do you think he would say? In Letters To The Next President, Andy Stanley extracts three extraordinary leadership principles from the stories of three ancient political leaders: a Babylonian king, a Judean governor, and an Egyptian pharaoh. As you listen, you will discover that these leadership lessons are not just applicable to those who hold public office, but to leaders everywhere. Whether your leadership context is home, business, team, or classroom, these three principles will help you maximize your leadership potential. Life Rules In kindergarten, ignoring the rules was a blast--especially if you could get away with it. But as adults, we understand that rules are for our protection...and that if we break God's rules, we cause heartache and broken relationships. In this six-part DVD, Andy Stanley clearly explains God's basic set of life rules, which, when lived, hold the power to improve your current relationships and mend hurting ones. Sessions include: Part Part Part Part Part Part 1: Rules of Engagement 2: Free to Forgive 3 - The Act of Acceptance 4: It's your Serve 5: The Courage to Encourage 6: I Submit

Listen and Learn What and who you listen to will influence what you do. Sounds like advice you might give your kids or a younger brother. But this is sound advice for kids of all ages. Lets face it . . . your life has been defined by the voices youve chosen to tune in, as well as those youve opted to tune out. All of us wish we could go back and dial up certain voices in our lives. And if we could go back, there are voices we would tune out altogether. But, we cant go back. What we can do, however, is begin to listen with greater discernment NOW. In this engaging, 3-part series, Andy Stanley introduces us to the three primary voices we should tune intobeginning today! Lo$t We all want our lives to count for something, sensing that our brief stay on earth can either be wasted on trivial things or invested in the stuff that matters most. The problem arises as we try to figure out what we're supposed to do with our lives, mavigating daily choices and decisions that determine our future. How do we know which way to go? Is it really possible to know what God wants us to do? Does God have a specific purpose for our individual lives? While at times it seems God's voice and direction have been lost somewhere in translation, these straight to the heart messages remind us that God's will is really not all that difficult to discover. God does have an incredible plan for our lives, a significant purpose we can know and embrace as we seek to know Him more. Losing your Religion What religion is powerless to do, God did! Face it. Religion can get pretty strange pretty quickly. Mystical. Superstitious. Legalistic. Judgmental. Hypocritical. But religion isn't going away. The human race has an insatiable curiosity regarding the divine. Since the beginning of time, men and women have established elaborate rituals and traditions in an attempt to bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen; between the sacred and the secular. And while each of these systems provided formulas for communicating with and securing the blessings of a particular deity, none provided the one thing humankind most desires - assurance. But with the birth of Christianity, all of that changed. In this 4-part message series, Andy Stanley explains how the message of Christ serves as the fulfillment of religion. Nu Me Many people see Christianity as a list of rules they can't keep (and at times don't even want to keep). All of us are familiar with the battle of temptation and what it's like to give in to sin. So we wonder - Is this all the Christian life was meant to be? Is there something we've missed? What are the keys to this intimate relationship with God I hear people talking about? Andy Stanley and Sean Seay give insight into the book of Romans where the apostle Paul reveals the believer's new relationship to sin and the ensuing freedom we were re-created to experience.

On Location When you stop to consider the decaying moral and ethical climate in our culture and in our world, you may be tempted to wonder, "Is there any hope? Will things ever improve?" Two thousand years ago Jesus addressed a handful of men and women who had the same questions, doubts, and fears. Imagine their surprise when he announced, "You are the salt of the earth...You are the light of the world." Translated, you have been strategically placed by God to preserve culture and illuminate God's will for man. In this four-part series, Andy Stanley unpacks what it means to be salt and light on location; where we live, work, and play. Once upon a Time The Bible is a story about God's pursuit of a prodigal people and His offer of redemption. It is about a God that goes to great lengths to reconnect with His children. This nine-part series discusses eight different people in the Bible and helps explain how each section of the Bible shows Gods love for us and His desire to have a relationship with each of us.

Parental Guidance Required We have all been shaped by our relationships. Our relationships impact the decisions we make, the places we go, and the things we do. That's why it's so important for parents to develop strong relationships with their children. As a parent, you have the opportunity and the responsibility to guide your child's relationships with God and with others. Andy Stanley and Reggie Joiner deliver four powerful messages that will teach parents how to have a positive influence on the direction of the lives of their children. The DVD also includes questions for group discussion.

Pause Temptation isn't new. From the apple in the garden, to the guy with the cute smile, to the slightly illegitimate business deal, we all face temptation. But why is it that we just can't walk away? We promise ourselves that next time we'll be stronger, last longer, or pass up the chance, yet it seems like we just keep making the same poor choices over and over again. In this four-part DVD, Andy Stanley takes a closer look at the temptations Jesus faced in the desert to identify the driving forces behind the temptations we face every day. Once we realize what is behind temptation, and what is at stake every time we're tempted, we can find the confidence to respond as Jesus did. Permission to speak freely Two thousand years ago, Jesus pulled His disciples aside and taught them to pray. In examining His instructions, we find a disconnect between His teaching and the way we typically approach prayer. We discover that there are some things about prayer we think are important but aren't, and there are some things we don't think are important that are. Three-part series. Playing God Have you ever taken a moment to think about how much power you have? Even if you're not a world leader, you have power over family members, co-workers, neighbors, or even strangers. The question is: what will you do with that power? Will you leverage it for good? Or will you fall under its subtle spell? Simple In a time when religious leaders and a religious system made it increasingly complicated to connect with God, a teacher appeared whose message was profoundly...simple. Jesus arrived on the stage of world events and announced that God's intent was to connect with, not confuse, mankind. To those who were considered most distant from God, Jesus offered this simple invitation, "Follow me." People who accepted his offer found themselves captivated by an extraordinary faith leading them to adopt a lifestyle that turned the world upside down.

Staying in Love We all know what's required to fall in love. A pulse. Falling in love is easy. But staying there? That's something else entirely. With more than 1,500 matchmaker organizations in the United States, finding someone is easier than ever, but staying together seems to get more difficult every day. So ... it is possible for two people to fall in love and actually stay there? Absolutely! Surviving the Bear Market We have all made life investment decisions based upon some flawed assumptions. Relationally, we may have assumed that if we found the right person we would be happy. Morally, we may have assumed that sex is just a natural part of a loving relationship. Financially, we may have assumed that money equalled peace and contentment. Spiritually, we may have assumed that church attendance and prayer was the equivalent of a hedge fund. We invest in these attitudes with the assumption that in time they will provide us with the security we seek. When we don't receive a satisfactory return on our investment, we look for someone to blame. The truth is, it is not the people around us that are flawed. The problem is that we have invested poorly. In this series, we take a candid and creative look at our life-investment strategy. It explains how to put together a balanced, yet somewhat aggressive, life-investment portfolio. Take it to the Limit A six-part message series for those whose schedules are too full and whose checking accounts are too empty! Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. We do as much as we can, spend as much as we can and acquire as much as we can. Life on the edge means life with no margin. Life without margin is a recipe for personal disaster. Margin is the space between your current performance and your limits. When you reach the limit of your resources, strength, capacity or self-control, you have no margin. And without margin, you have no room for error. The consequences of margin-less living are most apparent in our relationships. Love, intimacy, and friendship happen in the unstructured, unhurried world of margin. Together, we will explore God's answer to our self-destructive propensity to live as if we have no limits. Taking Care of Business Work. For most people, it's a necessity. For some, it's a passion. And for others, it's a four-letter word to be avoided as much as possible. But for all of us, only one perspective on work really matters: God's. In this six-part DVD, Andy Stanley addresses specific problem areas we're all familiar with - from dealing with co-workers and superiors while exemplifying Christ, to balancing our work and home life. Taking Responsibility for Your Life Responsibilities - We all have them. But we don't all take them as seriously as we ought to. Wouldn't it be great, though, if we all took responsibility for the things we are responsible for? Wouldn't it be great if you took responsibility for everything you're responsible for? It's time to stop the fingerpointing and excuse-making and to remove the "IR" in "irresponsible". In this series, Andy Stanley urges us to take responsibility. He tells us it's time to ask, Am I taking responsibility for my life ... REALLY? Text In a meeting. At dinner. On the golf course. No matter when or where you hear the familiar "ding" on your cell phone, a text message gets your immediate attention. You're compelled to pull the phone out of your pocket and read it. But what if God sent you a text message? In this three-part series, Andy Stanley says that God has, in fact, sent you a message--it's called the Bible. In this amazing collection of writings, you'll find poetry, prophecy, biography, war, sex, and betrayal. And most importantly, you'll find the story of a loving Father who goes to incredible lengths to redeem his children. The message is waiting. Have you read it? The Best Question Ever We've all made some pretty dumb decisions in our lives. For most of us there are chapters in the past we would like to rewrite. There's money we wish we had never spent, relationships we had never started and perhaps a few invitations we had never accepted. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to reverse the bad decisions of the past. But there is certainly no reason to repeat them either. This six-part series focuses our attention on one question that has the power to fool proof our decision making from this point forward.

The Final Hours and the Easter Celebration The Final Hours - Today, crosses are an important part of cultures around the world. We see them on the tops of buildings, we wear them as jewelry, and we celebrate them in art and fashion. So how did the cross go form an unmistakable symbol of suffering and shame in the ancient world to a definitive symbol of hope and salvation in ours? In the first message, Andy explores that question by examining Jesus' choice to die on a cross. The Easter Celebration - Easter is the celebration of a single event that happened in history. It is not the celebration of Christianity; it is not even the celebration of Jesus. The truth is, Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ - it is the epicenter of what Christianity is all about. In the second message Andy explains how this one event in history changed everything.

The Legend of Joe Jacobson When we experience hardships, we tend to wonder where God is. In times of prosperity, we often forget about God and adopt the mindset that we can handle everything on our own. And when we've been hurt by someone, we are apt to look for an opportunity to pay that person back. Joseph, Jacob's son, had every right to give up on God as a result of his circumstances; however instead, Joseph lived his life believing God was with him. In this three-part series, Andy encourages us to ask ourselves what someone in our circumstances would do if they were absolutely confident that God was with them. If we looked at all of our circumstances through this lens, we could face each day with an unwavering hope.

The Sinai Code Thirty-five hundred years ago Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with a short list of rules that has shaped the values of men and nations for centuries. We know them as the Ten Commandments. But do we really know them? Some would argue that it is the Ten Commandments that set the stage for mankind to feel as if we must perform our way into God's good graces. But was that the reason they were given? In this five-part DVD Andy Stanley dispels the common misconceptions about the Ten Commandments and reveals the role that they should play in our lives today.

The Star, The Cross and the Crescent Over the last 4000 years, three major religions have been born. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all acknowledge a common ancestry, tracing their origins to the same man. But are they the same? How are they different? In this four-part sermon series, Andy Stanley explains the history of these three religions, and two guest speakers tell how they came to faith in Christ. Judy Reamer is a Jewish believer and Afshin Ziafat is a former Muslim who is now a follower of Christ. Trust vs Suspicion You may have a richly talented staff but do they get along? You may lead a team achieving incredible results but does that team function with relational integrity? You may preach the value of trust but is that value being modeled in all areas of your organization? As a leader, are you intentionally developing a culture of suspicion and concealment? In this DVD, Andy Stanley speaks to leaders about the importance of developing a culture of trust within their organizations. Twisted The biggest lies are the ones we never notice. Meet four deceivers who share a common goal: your gradual destruction. You can't see them. You can't hear them. And you'd swear you'd never believe them. But when the rules are bent, lives are broken. And by the time you notice, it's already too late. In this five-part DVD, Andy reveals common ways the truth gets twisted. Each one has the potential to destroy your relationships, cloud your decisions, and distort your perspective of God. Discover how the truth has been twisted, and how it impacts our lives and our culture.

Twisting the Truth Common but deadly deceptions impact you every day. They can twist your thinking in ways you'd never expect and leave you with a life you never imagined. Your ability to recognize them can spell the difference between happiness and the loss of all you hold dear. Do you see them? In this sixsession small group video experience, Andy Stanley exposes some common ways God's truth gets twisted. Each one has the potential to destroy your relationships, cloud your decisions, and distort your perception of Him. This study helps us discover the ways the truth gets twisted in our lives and culture and, more importantly, how we can recognize and overcome them. Verdict We live in a culture that urges us to accept all religions as valid approaches to God. We are surrounded by intellectuals who urge us to abandom the notion of moral or theological absolutes. Our universities are filled with sceptics and cynics who delight in dismantling the Sunday school faith of our children. And yet, in spite of all that, millions of people world wide cling to the notion that 2000 years ago a man came from God, spoke on behalf of God and then died for the sins of the word. How can that be? Are we simply deceiving ourselves? Do we need propping up that bad? Have we checked our brains at the door? Why would so many continue to believe in such narrow politically incorrect, divisive ideas? This series examins the evidence that has led so many to accept the Bible as a credible record of actual events. Listen and decide for yourself.
