Many Christians—from the CEO to the teacher to the stay-at-home mom—spend a great deal of time working and yet do not realize how their work intersects with their faith. They compartmentalize their faith to Sunday morning and see the rest of their week as having little to do with their walk with God. Scripture, however, makes no division between the sacred and secular parts of our lives. God gives us our work, talent and skills so that through them we might worship Him.

This six-part Bible study resource will challenge all of us to consider the reason God calls us to work. It will cause you to consider why He may have you in your current position and encourage you to look beyond how your job makes you feel and see purpose and significance in your work.

Through powerful biblical teaching, real-life documentary stories and engaging video illustrations, this series will help us understand the biblical mandate for work. We have been called to work with excellence, integrity, and diligence, and our careers are opportunities to be on mission for Christ in the marketplace. God gives us great potential for impact on our families, churches, communities and the world through the blessing of our work.

OTHER SERIES WITH J.D. Greear
J.D. Greear
El libro de Jueces abre una ventana a las profundidades del alma humana. Vea como una nación batalla con su identidad y con su relación con Dios. Héroes y heroínas se levantarán, con el aparente potencial para salvar a Israel. Pero al final, cada uno de ellos prueba ser un salvador ineficaz que no puede llevar a cabo la tarea.

En esta serie, el pastor y autor J.D. Greear se adentra al libro de Jueces para alumbrar las aguas pantanosas de la rebelión humana. Estas historias y verdades no son cuentos arcaicos sin relevancia para nosotros el día de hoy. En este libro, J.D. explorará cada capítulo explicando la verdad de la gracia de Dios en medio de la maldad humana, y nos mostrará cómo solo Dios puede redimir al caído.

The book of Judges cracks a window into depths of the human soul. Watch a nation struggle with its identity and relationship to its God. Heroes and heroines arise, who seem to have the potential to save Israel. But in the end, each proves to be a broken savior that cannot deliver.

In this series, pastor and author J.D. Greear wades into the book of Judges to shine a light onto the muddy waters of human rebellion. The stories and truths within are not just archaic tales with no relevance for us today. Rather, J.D. works through each chapter unpacking the truth of God’s grace in the midst of human wickedness, and shows how only the divine can redeem the fallen.

Every one of us will have to face eternity—to look across the chasm of death to life beyond. For those of us who have chosen to follow Jesus, we look forward to an eternity filled with joy and free from sorrow. The guarantee of eternity means we can live every day on this earth not for our own gain, but for the benefit of God’s kingdom. Let's use what we’ve been given in the time we have to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to ourselves, our disciples, and the world.

In the beginning, God created light. When He made humanity, God infused the first man and woman with His own glory—so they would blaze with His light in the universe. But humanity’s sin snuffed out the flame. Through history, those who followed God flickered with His glory. Then God became human. In His perfect life and death, Jesus brought light back to our fallen race. Explore how you can blaze with God’s glory—through the power of Jesus’ gospel and with the fire of the Holy Spirit. In this darkened world, we were made to shine.

¿Se le ha ocurrido alguna vez que a Dios nada le sorprende? Él ha sabido desde antes de la formación del mundo que Su pueblo enfrentaría adversidades. Así que nos dio su Palabra. El libro de Efesios es un manual de supervivencia—equipa a los creyentes a crecer y prosperar en un mundo que odia el mensaje de Cristo Jesús. El apóstol Pablo escribió esta epístola para animar a creyentes a vivir bien—pues hemos sido levantados de un cementerio de pecado para proclamar el evangelio a un mundo entenebrecido. 

El pastor J.D. Greear nos guía a través de las poderosas palabras de Pablo. En 9 sesiones J.D. profundiza en el texto, versículo tras versículo de Efesios, desafiando a los creyentes a vivir activamente el evangelio. Después de todo, si las personas de su ciudad, de su escuela, o de su familia van a escuchar el evangelio, va a ser a través de su boca. Descubra Efesios, y sumérjase en la historia de Jesús.

Para obtener toda la experiencia descargue los recursos y complementos subsiguientes. La guía de estudio contiene más de 40 páginas de una enseñanza profunda con direcciones para la discusión en grupo y respuestas útiles para preguntas bíblicas. Esta guía de estudio va más allá de tan sólo darnos conocimiento, nos da varias aplicaciones prácticas de la Palabra de Dios para nuestra vida diaria o para nuestro estudio en grupo.

Has it ever dawned on you that nothing has ever dawned on God? He knew before the world began that His people would face hardship, so He gave us His Word. The Book of Ephesians is a survival manual—it equips believers to thrive in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle writes to encourage believers to live well—we've been lifted from the graveyard of sin and called to shout the gospel into the darkened world. 

Pastor and author J.D. Greear walks through the powerful words of Paul. In 9 sessions, J.D. digs into the text of Ephesians verse-by-verse and challenges believers to live out the gospel. If the people of your city, of your school, of your family are going to hear the gospel, it's going to be from your mouth. Encounter Ephesians, and get swept up into the story of Jesus.

And can we really know the essence of who God is? This series will show us a God that is both more awe-inspiring and more intimate than we could ever have imagined.

But the louder the conversation gets, the more obvious it is that most of us have no idea what we're talking about. With “From the Beginning,” we take a candid look at sexual relationships—from the ones that destroy us to the ones that give us life.

Leaders who are rooted in Christ are able to lead with His supernatural power. The 2015 RightNow Conference focuses on three areas of Jesus’ leadership to ensure that we are rooted in Him and are leading from His power: rooted in Christ, rooted in each other, and rooted in the Church's mission.

The letter of Hebrews was written to an early Christian church as an encouragement in the faith. This church had embraced Christ but struggled in their devotion because some of them were facing persecution, some loved ones were suffering, friends had walked away from the faith, and normal temptation and doubt had both crept in. Does this church sound like yours?

J.D. Greear, the lead pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, teaches this ten part series through the book of Hebrews called Christ is Better. He acknowledges that many Christians first trusted Christ with a subtle belief that everything about their new life would be easy and worry free, but became frustrated when they learned that Christ followers have problems too. Sometimes Christians encounter these problems and wonder if it would be better to just return to their old life. J.D. teaches that the book of Hebrews has one basic message. Don't give up. Christ is better. God all the way with him.

The Kingdom of Jesus was inexplicable and undeniable. Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere he went and demonstrated that it was real. He encountered people everywhere, however, who could not see it and would not believe. They were skeptics. Luke records many stories of skeptics who encountered the Kingdom because they encountered Jesus, and their stories are great lessons to us.

This series, called Kingdom Come, is taught by J.D. Greear, the lead pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. He calls Luke's book the Gospel for skeptics. Some people become skeptics because disappointment has damaged their ability to trust God. Other skeptics have bought into the world's philosophy and will not intellectually consent to the Kingdom of Jesus. J.D. looks into Luke's Gospel and sees answers for both of these. Doubt isn't always a bad thing. It doesn't have to create skeptics. Real faith arises when the inexplicable meets the undeniable.

When many people think of the Ten Commandments, they think of rules that are outdated, backwards, and restrictive. We don't want a faith that is all about lists of things we are not supposed to do. Many Christians also wonder if the Ten Commandments are an Old Testament thing that we shouldn't worry about anymore. How do we determine which parts to follow? Should they hold the same place in our lives as New Testament teaching?

In this nine week series, J.D. Greear, the lead pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, teaches that this perception of a list of don'ts is completely wrong. "I want to show you that the Ten Commandments are not a path to bondage, but a path to freedom." God's commands are not to regulate our outward behavior. He gives them in order to shape our hearts. Learning to use the Commandments for freedom's sake will give us a wonderful glimpse of what our hearts look like.

A complaint that we often hear in Christian circles is that people have forgotten God. Some will point out that our society has kicked God out of our government, schools and town halls, assuming that atheism has run rampant in this country. The rate of atheists, however, is at a historic low. Only 3.5% of Americans claim there is no God. Most people do not ask the question, "Is there a God?" but "Which God is the right one?" Most non-believers will look for whatever perception of God is most comfortable for them to follow.

J.D. Greear, lead pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, teaches this eight part series to answer the prevalence of pluralism in our society. Whether it is a named God of a false religion or a common idol like wealth or entertainment, our society is constantly offering alternatives to Jesus. These idols come from people who believe that it doesn't matter what you call God, as long as you do it sincerely. J.D. walks us through Scripture and shows that God's identity does matter. Jesus is something better and something greater that every little god the world would like to offer.

Many Christians have prayed the sinner's prayer in church, at a camping retreat, with their Bible study leaders, and once or twice at home in bed. We often hear pastors teach, "Once saved, always saved," but what if you don't feel confident that you were saved in the first place? Many would rather repeatedly offer that prayer than make an assumption with their eternal soul on the line.

In this five part sermons series, J.D. Greear, lead pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, teaches that we can have assurance of salvation. In J.D.'s own estimation, "by the time I graduated high school, I'd probably prayed the sinner's prayer about 5,000 times." As a pastor and former atoner, J.D. has thought in depth about this topic and written a book titled Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart: How to Know You are Saved. Using the same careful research, he assures us that we may be certain and offers a biblical basis for finding reaffirming signs of salvation in our own lives.

According to a 2011 Barna study, about half of all Americans have prayed something like the sinner's prayer, but half of those have no regular presence in church and believe the Bible is incorrect in substantial portions. Even more live lives that look no different from the world. These people have spiritual blind spots. They believe they are Christians but are actually far from Jesus. This kind of superficial faith is really no faith at all. Then there are many more people who do not even acknowledge Jesus. They feel it is impossible for them to believe in Christ and have no trouble saying so. If they make any kind of faith claim, it is certainly not Christianity.

Both of these groups have belief problems. Both groups. whether they admit it or not, can't believe in the true gospel. J.D. Greear is the lead pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. In this series he teaches seven stories in the Gospel of John that depict people who encounter Jesus but can't believe in him. J.D. will teach us that these people who encountered Jesus are just like many of us, and he will encourage us to know Jesus more deeply, see his glory anew, and go out with a renewed confidence to tell the world about him.

God built us for relationships. They supply the most joy we experience, but also the most heartache. Whether you are single or married, whether you consider friendships or romances, you understand the potential intensity and conflict of relationships. How do you live a life full of relationships that honor God and encourage you in our faith.

J.D. Greear, the lead pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, teaches this six session in Ephesians 5 on the theme of building gospel-centered relationships. This passage focuses on marriage, but the lessons apply to all of us. Our first love is Jesus, and all other loves should be enhanced by, and secondary to, our love for him.
