Gospel Above All for Teens
Is Christianity Dead?
People may think Christianity is dying, but this pronouncement is a little premature. Jesus promised to build His church, declaring that the gates of hell wouldn’t prevail against it. Along with this promise, Jesus gave clear instructions for how the church would overcome. He promised to build it on the rock of the gospel.
In this Bible study, J.D. Greear examines what it means for believers to place the gospel above all other priorities in our lives and in our churches.

Gospel Revolution: Recovering the Power of Christianity
On a journey to greater understanding of the gospel, Pastor J.D. Greear ran through all the religious activities typically associated with a disciple’s life: giving, adopting, missionality, preaching, and witnessing. Though disciplined and intentional in all aspects, only when J.D. “discovered” the gospel of Jesus Christ did everything change.
That’s why the objective of Gospel Revolution is to help group members abide in Jesus. They will find that when they do, passion, self-control, kindness, patience, and generosity are the natural results. Marriages will change. Participants will become more self-disciplined. They will be less selfish. Not by concentrating on these things, but as a result of being captivated by the love of Christ.

Jesus, Continued: Bible Study Kit
Why do so many of us think of Christianity as a lifestyle to which we conform, rather than a God with whom we commune? Jesus gave His disciples the audacious promise that it was to their advantage that He go back to heaven because the Holy Spirit could then come to live inside of them. How many of us consider our connection to the Holy Spirit so strong and so real that we would call his presence in us better than Jesus beside us?
This Bible study has been created to help you relate to the Holy Spirit in new ways. Over the course of this study, you’ll see how you can have a satisfying, powerful relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.
Kit includes:
- Small group Bible Study Book
- 2 DVDs with eight 10- to 12-minute teaching sessions
- Trade book on which the study is based
Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart for Students
Many students struggle with assurance of salvation. Despite God’s desire that they be fully assured of their place with Him, students still struggle to know that they belong to Jesus and He belongs to them. This six-session study based on the book by author and pastor J.D. Greear will help students find assurance that can seem so elusive. They will understand that salvation isn’t about just saying a prayer, walking an aisle, or holding up their hand. They will understand that salvation rests solely on their response of repentance and faith toward the finished work of Christ.
This Bible study has been created to help you relate to the Holy Spirit in new ways. Over the course of this study, you’ll see how you can have a satisfying, powerful relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.
Kit includes:
- DVD
- Leader Guide

The Gospel According to Jonah – Member Book
We invite you into a world fraught with missteps, disobedience, idolatry, and mistaken “identity.” It’s a world most of us would recognize in our own lives. But in the world of Jonah, we also get more than a foreshadowing of Jesus and a God that pursues us relentlessly. Through this study, individual participants can recognize the “Jonah” in themselves and channel this revelation into a greater passion for asking others into the same assurance.
This Bible study has been created to help you relate to the Holy Spirit in new ways. Over the course of this study, you’ll see how you can have a satisfying, powerful relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.

A 7-Session Study From J.D. and Veronica Greear
Christian parents are not seeking mere behavior modification in their children but the growth of truly godly passions. “Training a child up in the way he should go” must be done intentionally, with the mind and heart of God.
Based on Psalm 127, this 7-session study plumbs the wisdom of the Bible about the goals of parenting, the stages of discipline, the role of the church, and strategies to shape the heart toward the gospel.
