Welcome
to A Sudden Glory Bible Study
Welcome to the online Bible study for A Sudden Glory: God's Lavish
Response to Your Ache for Something More. The ten week study will run
May 13 – July 19, 2013. I’m so glad you’ve decided to join me.
I think we’ve all
experienced the “glory ache”—the persistent longing to experience God’s
presence on a daily basis. Busyness, striving, and working for God can
sometimes get in the way of intimacy with God.
Do you long for something
more in your relationship with God?
The good news is that “something” more does not mean “doing more.” God’s not
waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He desires to commune with
you right where you are.
The real question is not
“What does God want from you?”
but
“What does God want for you?”
In A Sudden Glory, you’ll
delve into Scripture and read stories that will help you erase the line between
your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” so that all of life becomes an act
of worship. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory
in which the Creator makes His presence known to you personally. Moments in
which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and more and have your
being in Him.
You’ll learn how to:
•
Discover the secret to
experiencing God’s presence in your daily life.
•
Walk in sync with Jesus
as you live and move and have your being in Him (Acts 17:28).
•
Recognize God’s
passionate pursuit and relentless romance of your heart.
•
Accept His invitation to
the divine dance choreographed just for you.
•
Hear God’s gentle whisper
in the tough times of life.
•
Breathe a sigh of relief
knowing that experiencing “something more” in your relationship with God does
not mean “doing more.”
So take a deep breath,
grab God’s hand, and discover the secret to experiencing God’s presence in a
deeper and more intimate way than ever before.
Here’s what you’ll need.
1. Your Bible
2. A copy of A Sudden Glory – you can purchase a copy at your
favorite Christian bookstore or on-line bookstore. Kindle edition or soft cover can be found here at Amazon.com
3. A notebook to write your answers, responses, and moments of
sudden glory.
Your first lesson will be
posted on May 13th. Each weekday
you will receive instructions for that particular day, and each week you will
receive a new lesson. On day 5 of each week, I’ll have a video that you can
watch from your computer. Just a click and the author Sharon Jaynes will be right
there with you.
To get you started, a copy of Chapter One and the study guide for Lesson One will be sent to you upon request by emailing karla.herbert@gmail.com. Simply put "A Sudden Glory Chapter One" in the subject line.
I’d also encourage you to watch the introductory video book trailer to give you a taste of what's to come.
Here's another idea:
invite a few friends, co-workers or family members to join you! That's the
beauty of an on-line study. You can join hearts that are next door or on the
other side of the globe.
I'll be praying for you
as drink deeply from the well of God's love.
As Sharon Jaynes says, “Sleuthing
for moments of Sudden Glory!”

Please pray before you start this study and ask God to help you finish the race. I know from experience that there are days when I don't feel like doing my homework or answering questions. Then I get behind and the next thing you know, Satan is winning because I've lost my focus on spending time with God.
ReplyDeleteRemember that you can start back up where you left off if something comes up. These lessons will be archived and you can go back and do the parts you've missed. Don't let Satan steal your joy ~ tell him who's boss! LOL
