New Small Group or Bible Study Materials by Ron & Paulette Phillips
Not long ago the television show "Fear Factor" was a raging success with audiences. Contestants on this show competed for prizes by enduring the most horrendous, sickening assignments from jumping out of planes to high altitude stunts in wind storms to underwater races and challenges. They even ate unimaginable animal, plant and sea life while blindfolded.
Unfortunately in the real world, people are confronted with fear at every juncture of their lives. Fear of what has already happened, what may happen or what is unknown eats away at joy, peace and effectiveness. They find themselves defeated and living life hemmed in a box of only the familiar and the ordinary.
2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind." The opposite of fear is faith. So, instead of living life controlled by the fear factor, this book will show you how to live based on the Faith Factor. You’ll learn:
- How to increase and exercise that faith
- To approach every situation knowing God is working everything out for the best
- Change can be good in our lives
- Challenges are not obstacles, but positive stepping stones to a rewarding life
- Victory is ours if we want it
The centerpiece character of this book is the Old Testament prophet Elijah, who had an earth-shaking influence because of his bold faith in God. He was an unknown, uneducated, lonely and isolated young man with big problems, living in a world that turned its back on God. Yet, when he embraced God in faith, he saw God change everything! What God did for the prophet Elijah, He will do for you.
Faith Factor has an accompanying Study Guide to use with a class or small group, or as a personal devotional. Curriculum packages are available for churches who would like to take their whole Sunday School or Bible Study groups through Faith Factor. The packages come with a 13 lesson DVD taught by Ron and Paulette Phillips. Additional copies of the book and study guide for class participants are available at volume discounts.
