Are you living with Kingdom-minded purpose? This is God's desire for you . . . the journey awaits "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." -Jesus (Matthew 24:14) "If we have a limited time with someone, we would want him or her to fully grasp the gospel of the Kingdom and its implications." That's what each of us working on this project said from the outset. We would want him or her to take what we call the Kingdom Life journey, passing the following signposts along the way: "Seeing the Kingdom Vision," "Relating to the King," "Representing the King," and "Living with Kingdom-Minded Purpose." The Kingdom Life journey will help you understand that what we believe grounded in the Holy Scriptures leads to who we become guided by the Holy Spirit. As the Bible puts it, "Become what you believe" (Matthew 9:29, MSG). There are four distinct stages of this process, each of which you will find in the 12 chapters of this workbook. First, it is essential that we SEE in Scripture the Kingdom principle. Next, we SEARCH the Scriptures more deeply to better "own" the Kingdom principle. Then, we see how we might STAND in this truth in the midst of everyday life. Finally, we SHOW what we have learned to others in our spheres of influence-seeing the gospel of the Kingdom advance deeper in our own hearts and affect those around us. One day we will see this beautiful picture: "a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" (see Revelation 7:9). At that time we will experience the Kingdom of God in all its fullness May God use this resource to better enable you to live a Kingdom life in light of that day-and be used of God to help others do the same

Following their dreams, Bob and Karen Jones set out from Corpus Christi, Texas, in their 15 year-old, 30-foot sailboat, Watercolors, to explore the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts taking them to Chesapeake Bay. Their adventure mostly follows America's Intracoastal Waterway that winds through remote bays and inlets formed by numerous barrier islands. In these estuaries, they encounter an abundance of osprey, pelicans, herons, ducks, geese, cormorants, and dolphins, as well as the rarer bald eagles and whooping cranes. The Waterway also leads to villages and towns that make their livelihood from the water as is very much evident in the delicious oysters, blue crab, and shrimp served up at local cafes. Other stops are at major seaports including Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Savannah, and Charleston which serve a delightful dose of history extending back to early colonial times. The Chesapeake is an ideal cruising ground with villages such as Deltaville, Onancock, Crisfield, St. Michaels, and Oxford wedded to the water by crabbing, oystering, and boatbuilding. Bob and Karen enjoy exploring rivers with such enticing names as Wicomico, Choptank, Piankatank, Rappahannock, Patapsco, and Potomac, as well as the major cities of Baltimore and Washington, and the sailing center of Annapolis. In the late fall they return to Florida where they abandon their plans to return to Texas in the spring in favor of returning to the Chesapeake for further sailing adventures and a chance to traverse the Dismal Swamp. They encounter the usual cruising challenges of navigation, dragging anchors, provisioning, mechanical and electric breakdowns, water leaks, and approaching hurricanes. Karen's Living Aboard sections describe life aboard a boat for many months from a women's perspective. Bob's Nature Notebook sections explore conservation efforts preserving wetlands and migrating birds as well as looking at future challenges of overfishing, protecting sea turtles, and rising sea levels.303 pages, 109 B&W photographs, 3 maps

Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack the first characteristic, strength. Men need strength that comes from God alone, the kind of strength He gave men like Gideon (who lived at a time when everyone did what was right in their own eyes), David and his band of mighty men, and Jesus' early church followers. The world, the flesh, and the devil wage constant battle against us and seek to usurp God's rule over His creation. To fight these enemies, God calls and empowers men to be Mighty Men of Valor. Gideon is one such example. "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor " (Judges 6:12, NKJV). As the angel of the Lord greeted Gideon in Old Testament times, He invites you to become one of God's choice warriors. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly strength. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. God is calling us to develop our "spiritual muscles" of love, winning others to the kingdom of God, and building them up in Christ. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 - Strength is all about. As with the additional Bible studies in this series-Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion-this study can be used in three essential ways. Use these studies as a daily devotional. We strongly encourage every man to take time out for a daily meeting-or appointment-with God. Work through these studies with another man. Think of this as walking "Side-by-Side," meeting weekly for mutual growth, support, and accountability. Connect with other men in a triad or small-group setting. Think of Jesus, who invested in a small group of 12 men, guiding them on the spiritual journey. Make A Mark Ministries is a ministry of Sure Passage

Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack the second characteristic, what it means to have courage in Christ. Men need courage to take a stand for God's Word and ways in increasingly challenging times, and as someone has said, "All it takes for evil to flourish is good men to stand by and do nothing" We need courage to love our wives, teach our children, live honestly and uprightly no matter what, spread the Gospel, overcome fear, and to do all we do with all our heart. God's call to Joshua is a call to us in our day: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). With this charge, He sent the head of the nation of Israel to conquer the Promised Land. He is calling you to become a courageous warrior today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly courage. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. The world is not as God created it. Evil exists. Persecution happens. God has given men responsibilities, and often we fear failure. Mighty Men of Valor need great courage. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage is all about.

Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack passion. Men need passion to live in light of the fact that the God of the universe chose us to be His children, called us to be kingdom men, and enables us to passionately live like Jesus and advance His Gospel where we live, work, and play through the generations We see this kind of passion reflected in early church days: "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord" (Romans 12:11). As the apostle Paul urged the church at Rome to be passionate in serving Jesus, so we welcome you to join us in growing more and more zealous about our great Savior. Ours is a passion based on the truth of God's Word and expressed through a gentleness of spirit. Moses confronted Pharaoh and led the Israelites for four decades; he was a man passionate for God. Yet, God judged Moses as being "more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth" (Numbers 12:3). God is calling you to serve with such passion today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly passion. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. God chose each one of us and adopted us as His children. Jesus died for our sins, paid the debt we owe to God, and gave us new life in Him. Mighty Men of Valor are passionate about their Savior. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion is all about.
