Jesus, God with Us
The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ; therefore, it’s important that we have a firm understanding of who Jesus is. The Bible confirms Jesus’s full deity and humanity. Understanding these essential truths will help us surrender to Him, live godly lives, and lead others to follow Him also.
The Lifestyle of a Witness
Witnessing isn’t just about sharing words—it’s about living in a way that consistently points others to Christ. This study examines what Scripture has to say, so we can better understand our responsibility as believers, to live as a witness for Christ.

Serving Like Jesus
Our culture is saturated with a “me first” mentality. The “Me generation” has been surpassed by the “Selfie generation.” But being selfish and self-focused is nothing new. We seem to be hard-wired to live this way. But the words and the example of Jesus make it clear that this should not be the case for those committed to follow Him.
Shaped by Prayer
Prayer is more than words—it’s a way of life shaped by ongoing communion with God. In a world that prizes action over reflection and noise over stillness, prayer forms us into people who depend on God’s presence, guidance, and power. In this study, we explore what it means to live a life shaped by prayer, drawing closer to God through practices that deepen faith and transform character.

DISCIPLESHIP PATHWAY
Discipleship is the lifestyle of walking with God. This walk tends to follow a pathway as followers become more like Christ and advance His kingdom.
Every pathway has signposts—markers to show a person's progress. Lifeway Research has identified eight signposts of discipleship—lifestyle patterns that ought to be growing in ever-increasing measure the longer a person walks the pathway of discipleship.
YOU Bible study curriculum is designed so that each of the following categories (signposts) are addressed over the course of a year. This ensures a balanced approach to Bible study as group members advance to spiritual maturity.

Obey God and Deny Self
Serve God and Others
Share Christ
