For Bible Studies

This newly released study in the book of Acts is designed for church Bible studies, in-home study groups, or college ministries. The study can also be useful to individuals looking to dive deeper into the life and ministry of the apostle Paul.

There are twenty-two audio messages that participants will listen to on their own. Then the group can come together to discuss what was learned and collectively answer the questions in the study guide.

In this twenty-two-lesson study in the book of Acts, Alistair unpacks Paul’s final missionary journey and his dramatic encounter in Rome. Paul endured trials of every kind, boldly proclaiming the Gospel and glorifying God even to those who doggedly persecuted him. Paul’s journey reveals God’s grace, providential protection, and provision, which underpinned Paul’s confidence and enabled him, as it enables us, to take risks so that unbelievers may become followers of Jesus.

For Evangelism
& Discipleship

Your church members may long to see others come to know Jesus, but practically engaging in evangelism may lead many to ask, “How exactly are Christians to do this?”

In the Crossing the Barriers study, Alistair guides believers through a step-by-step, practical approach to introducing others to Jesus and sharing the message of the Gospel.

This series of twelve messages explains how to tell others about Jesus, how to be clear in presenting the message, and how to deal with difficulties along the way.

This twelve-lesson study guide is a companion to the twelve messages taught by Alistair in the audio series. By completing the information and answering the questions in the study guide, participants will learn how to effectively initiate engaging Gospel conversations with those who have yet to know Jesus.
