Chosen Bible Study

The #1 bestseller in New Testament Commentaries. Over 400,000 copies sold! This is the official companion study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus. What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? parallels each episode, connecting readers to the Bible in a brand-new way. It includes: • A deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!) • Features audio clips from each episode of season 1 • Guiding questions for groups or individuals Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications-although it says even more about the Chooser than the choosees. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God's chosen people. What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we're going Old school-Testament that is-which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus.

God's Goodness for the Chosen is an eight-lesson Bible study for individuals or groups that follows each episode of season 4 of The Chosen. This study teaches readers how to reframe their hardships and see them as fertile soil for God's goodness to grow in their lives. We see it over and over again in the Bible: God brings good things out of bad things for the sake of His people and for His glory. But truth be told, when we personally experience suffering, we have a difficult time actually believing it. Yet, life is challenging even for the followers of Jesus, and hardship in the twenty-first century is no exception. God's Goodness for the Chosen takes readers through eight lessons which reveal how God uses suffering to bring about good things in the lives of those He loves. You'll see: • Death is eclipsed by life • Grief is eclipsed by praise • Questions are eclipsed by resolve • Confusion is eclipsed by grace • Temporary things are eclipsed by eternal things • Heartbreak is eclipsed by love • Sin is eclipsed by obedience • Pain is eclipsed by the fullness of God's plan Indeed, readers will be challenged to embrace the hard things of life, to experience more of the goodness God offers on the other side. Features select audio clips from each episode of season 4. Amanda Jenkins is an author, speaker, and the lead creator of The Chosen's additional content.

A Bible study for people who need a safe place in Jesus, The Stronghold of the Chosen helps readers see Him as the refuge we desperately need. What is a stronghold? Well, a stronghold is a place of safety, fortified to protect inhabitants against attack. It's a place where people can feel secure, surrounded by high, sturdy walls. It's a place to rest and be restored. It's a place to plan the way forward. It's a place. Throughout the Bible, we're told that God is the Stronghold for those who follow Jesus, that He's our refuge in hard times and that in His presence our resources can be renewed. But sometimes we resist running to Jesus. Like the crowds on that first Palm Sunday, we vacillate between declaring Him Hosanna ("the One who saves") and forfeiting the very safety and security He graciously provides. In The Stronghold of the Chosen, the season 5 Bible study, we'll learn that Jesus is our safe place, along with all the reasons we should run to and remain in Him when hard times come.
