Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn’t what Jesus says to do at all? Jesus’ invitation is an invitation to relationship, and it begins with a simple request: follow me. Religion says, “Change and you can join us.” Jesus says, “Join us and you will change.” There’s a huge difference.

In this eight-session video-based Bible study, Andy Stanley takes you on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow.

Crazy Love

Are you longing for something more than a fleeting and haphazard relationship with God? Do you seek a faith that really addresses the problems in the world with real and radical solutions? Don't you want to be a part of the answers God has in mind that are greater than what you can imagine? Get crazy, get radical, find a deeper love that only God can show you.

What does it mean to be a Christian? Did Jesus ever really call his followers to be Christians or did he call his followers to be much more? Andy Stanley makes the case for being disciples rather than just Christians.

Radical

As the title says, this book is about truly striking out in the world as a disciple of Jesus Christ. What if we actually DID what Jesus said and fully obeyed his calling? The truth is we will be amazed and unsettled by what that calling really means and the world would be changed like never before.

We live in a trendy world and the Church is caught up in it. We often reflect our culture. Have you ever wondered what a start-up church would look like if all you used as its foundation was the Bible? It might look very different than what we think.

Just Walk Across the Room

When you are sold out to something and passionate about it, you want everyone to know about it too. Following Christ is contagious but how do we tell people about the one who has changed our life forever? It has very little to do with evangelism techniques but everything to do with simply getting up, walking across the room and taking an interest in another person. We start right there.

Community

Why is community so important to your spiritual life? Because you can’t grow spiritually unless you’re connected relationally. God designed you that way. He wants to use other people to grow you, and he wants to use you to grow other people. During this eight-week study—specifically designed for new small groups—you’ll explore how building deep relationships with the people in your group and serving the larger community around you will grow your faith.

From This Day Forward

Promise, Promise! We all make them but it seems too rare that we keep them. When we marry someone, we all make vows, promises, to the one we marry. It takes commitment and love to follow through on these vows on a daily basis. This series is becoming a regular seminar at Maury Hills. We want our couples to focus on five essentials that can fail-proof your marriage. Do the study to find out what they are.

Transformed

This 7 session DVD study explores what the Bible has to say about every essential area of our lives: Spiritual, Physical, Mental, Emotional, Relational, Financial, and Vocational. The world is shouting for our attention with answers to our relationship struggles, solutions to our financial trouble, and explanations to our search for meaning. But the world's promises leave us empty and searching for more. God's Word is the only answer that promises to transform our lives from the inside out.

The Circle Maker

The Circle Maker is a call to think about prayer in a different way than we may traditionally think about prayer. This kind of prayer is active prayer, no simply sitting in a prayer position but actually walking circles around those that we pray for. Think big, lay down your fears and walk circles around them in prayer.

How to Be Rich

Most of us, certainly in America, are rich. The problem is we don't necessarily see it and we aren't typically very good at being rich, and yet, we are rich. We did this series at Maury Hills in 2014. We need to all get better at being rich and then we can please God more by growing in genuine generosity.

The Armor of God

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

What Love Is

The Letters of 1, 2 & 3 John were written to encourage followers of Jesus to remain faithful to the truth. Believers are challenged to look at contrasting themes such as walking in the light instead of darkness, truth versus lies and deception, loving God more than loving the world, and the meaning of true fellowship and community rather than shallowness.

What Love Is

This 7-session study not only reveals the heart of John but also the heart of Jesus. A great addition to The Living Room Series, this study includes recipes and a more relational approach.
