A little over a year ago a series of events set me on a journey to explore what Jesus meant in John 10:10 when He said that He came to bring us “abundant life.” The first part of the verse talks about how Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I was witnessing that destruction and death first hand in both personal and professional situations. I saw so many of my friends, teammates, students, and myself often just “surviving” life, not truly living. The questions poured into my heart and mind:
What even is abundant life?
What does it look like?
What does Jesus mean when he says that?
Is it even possible given all the pain and hurt I see all around me?
A few months of personal reflection flowed into a weekly Bible study with some wonderful ladies at my church. At the encouragement of some friends, I pursued the idea of publishing an 8-week study on the topic.
I’m excited to share that study is now available for purchase online!
(For local friends, it should be available at Chapters Books and Gifts in downtown Seward by this weekend which is probably quicker than you can get it online AND no shipping costs!)
While the study is designed in such a way that it can be done as an individual or in groups, I think study is always enhanced in community. Because of that, I highly suggest finding a friend (or 10) and go through this study together.
If for some reason you’re unable to convince a friend to do it with you, I’ll be leading an online Bible Study on Thursdays in April and May working our way through the book. Registration will open soon here. What a wonderful way to journey through the Easter season studying LIFE!
Whether you get a copy of this study or not, I hope you know that abundant life is possible. I’ve learned that it doesn’t take away the pain and the hurt, but shows us how live through those moments with hope, freedom, purpose, and joy.
Let’s LIVE!
