ABOUT THE STUDY SERIES
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior’s voice and listen for what He was saying to her. The result was Jesus Calling, a collection of personal reflections based on Jesus’ own words of hope, guidance, and peace found in the Scriptures. Through these messages, countless people have been encouraged to experience a deeper relationship with the Lord as they also learn to listen for His voice in the pages of the Bible.
Each of the Jesus Calling Bible studies includes devotional readings from Jesus Calling, selected passages of Scripture for reflection, Bible study questions, and additional questions to help you apply the material. This study can be used for personal reflection and Bible study or in a small-group setting.
WAYS TO PURCHASE
EXPERIENCING GOD'S PRESENCE - VOL. 1
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This is one of Sarah Young’s favorite Scriptures, and the basis of her approach to writing the Jesus Calling devotionals. You will be encouraged to lay down your cares and just spend time each day with your heavenly Father. As you follow the Lord’s instruction to be still, you will encounter his peace, be filled with his strength, and gain a new perspective on your situation.
GIVING THANKS TO GOD - VOL. 5
“Praise be to God who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). Explore what God’s Word says about the many ways he provides for you—and why you should give thanks to him for this abundance. Even during trials, you can have an attitude of thankfulness. When you realize the depth of God’s love and the lengths to which he went to reconcile you to himself, it naturally causes you to want to praise him!
TRUSTING IN CHRIST - VOL. 2
“My God will meet all your needs according the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). As you face the demands of the day, give your cares to him, and encounter him personally through his Word, you will discover you can rely on him to meet all your needs. Experience God’s love for you, his practical care for you, and his provision of the strength you need to get through any situation.
LIVING WITH GOD'S COURAGE - VOL. 6
“The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6). Discover how God calls each of his children to not only resist fear but also move through life with courage. God’s Word reveals that the Lord is always with you and always willing to empower you with strength from the Holy Spirit. Confidence comes when you walk in God’s ways and recognize that he is on your side.
RECEIVING CHRIST'S HOPE - VOL. 3
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Explore the promises God makes in his Word about finding shelter and security in him, even when things seem hopeless. “We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). As you allow God’s love to seep into the inner recesses of your being, stay faithful to God even in your suffering, and let the light of his presence fill your heart with hope.
DWELLING IN GOD'S PEACE - VOL. 7
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). God offers us peace when we trust in Christ and rely on the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. That peace then cycles back and increases our trust, because we come to recognize the blessings we have been given. That in turn increases our thankfulness, regardless of what we are facing.
LIVING A LIFE OF WORSHIP - VOL. 4
“Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Discover how thankfulness and worship always open the door for entering into God’s presence and blessings. Even the most routine part of your day can be a spiritual act of worship when you are living close to God. Look at your circumstances from God’s perspective—that’s how you can live a life of worship.
PUTTING JESUS FIRST - VOL. 8
"Seek first [God's] kingdom . . . and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). Place Christ first in every part of your life. Rely on him in the busy times, anxious times, uncertain times, and lonely times. While the world offers many distractions and priorities for you to chase, the Bible is clear that peace and fulfillment only come as you put God's agenda first, always.
