Faith - Four Week Mini Bible Study (Becoming Press Mini Bible Studies) [Kindle Edition]

Heather Bixler (Author)

Book Description

In this four week mini Bible Study you will examine your faith and what it means to have faith in God.

He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20

Our faith begins with what we know and believe about God. Our faith will carry us how far we are willing to let it take us. Faith is a choice and we need to begin by choosing to believe in Jesus and His power to move mountains, heal the sick, and save us from all our sins through His sacrifice on the cross.

When we believe in God we then learn to walk in faith and trust God. But first we must believe, and it's up to us, we can either choose to believe in Him or not. But faith will mean nothing until we believe with all our heart that God is who He says He is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to hear a secret? February 28, 2012

By Lilly Maytree

This week, I read Heather Bixler's Mini Bible Study on FAITH. This is one of my favorite subjects, and having been a Christian for many years, I didn't suppose there was much I hadn't already heard about it, but it's nice to hear it, again. My goodness, was I wrong! While the scriptures were familiar, I loved the wonderfully fresh perspectives on them that can only come from someone who is truly "in touch" with the Lord. How can I say something like that? Well, I'll tell you. It's because I came away with something life-changing.

It was the suggestion that faith is a choice.

Now, having always considered faith to be something that "grew" in you, something you had to personally work hard to cultivate, this was a highly refreshing thought for me to think about. If all I had to do was choose (like picking chocolate over vanilla), I would choose faith all day long. Then it occurred to me that maybe I simply had the habit of looking where I had been, to figure out where I was going, instead of looking ahead. So, I started making a conscious decision to "choose faith" if ever I spotted an opportunity on my horizon. What a boon to realize there were little opportunities everywhere, once I started looking for them! And what a surprise to discover how much I liked doing it. There was a bonus, too.

Choosing faith has made me feel joyful. It makes me smile when I think about it, and gives me something to look forward to every day. What's more, it doesn't go away, like so many other enjoyable things do after they're over. In short, this little Bible study made me think, and discover new things about my own Christianity. And that's how I knew for sure where this secret truly came from.... Perhaps if you read this book (and I hope you will), God will whisper something joyful to your heart, as well. Meanwhile, I'm very glad Heather Bixler took the time to share what she heard.

Thank you, Heather! Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Short Study to Help You Understand Faith February 25, 2012

By Lorilyn Roberts

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Written from a Biblical point of view, I found this short study to be encouraging. Each chapter begins with Scripture, followed by principles to live by, and ends with life application. Don't have time to read a long book on faith? This study will give you simple tools to understand faith and help you to develop a closer relationship with God.

One of my favorite quotes was the following: "Often our heart and mind can wander to the worries and desires of tomorrow. When our mind and heart wander to tomorrow, or next week, we lose sight of the beautiful things God has already given us." What a great reminder that faith is living each day to the fullest and trusting God for our future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faith February 19, 2012

By Carol A. Brown

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This short four week scripturally based study looks at faith.

Week One: Focus is on being present to today, rather than the past or future. It is important to focus on the present rather than the "what ifs" of tomorrow that may or may not come to be. A misplaced focus robs us of the blessings and happiness that we do have! Misplaced focus often leads to feelings of overwhelm.

Week Two: Focus is on the truth of who is in control and who is not.

Week Three: Focus is on commitment. In our "drive-through" and "disposable" society we hear little of commitment and perseverance, both of which are strands in the cord of faith.

Week Four: Focus is on grace. Grace, the unmerited favor of God is an outworking of faith!

At the end of each devotional/scriptural passage Bixler lists a series of questions to prompt and guide one's meditation on the topic for the week and encourages readers to journal their thoughts and write out their prayers. I have done journaling for years and appreciate these kinds of helps. I personally feel that journalling is a very powerful spiritual discipline; it does not come easily or happen overnight but it is well worth the effort!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Word about Living by Faith August 30, 2012

By Kim T.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

As a bible teacher, I not only love to teach but to LEARN. Heather Bixler's eBook on Faith provided me with some powerful words and reminders about faith. As believers, we are instructed to walk by faith, not by sight. But how many of us know what faith really is? Heather's book not only defines faith, but tells us how we can live by faith in our daily lives. Three words summarize the powerful ideas I got from this book on faith: Choose, Today, and Commitment. Heather reminds us in the book that faith is a choice. In fact in Deuteronomy 30:19 God says, "...I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live". The choice to walk by faith is choosing life and blessing. We choose to believe that God is who He says He is and will do what He said He would do.

The second word from Heather's study that stayed with me is Today. She exhorts us to enjoy what God has given us today and become 'seed planters' so that we can enjoy a harvest tomorrow. To me, that means being careful to invest my time, talents, money, and physical health so that I can bring glory to God.

Finally, I learned about Commitment in the book. That means deciding that quitting is not an option. You are going to stand on God's word no matter what storms may come, no matter what it takes.

My faith was definitely strengthened by reading this short, but powerful study. I have a passion for the bible and its power to change the lives of those who choose to invest in its treasures. That's what guided me to create Abiding Love: Bible Study for Women (Book 1). I know many people will be blessed from Heather Bixler's Faith bible study. I sure was!
