Act Like Jesus Bible Study Guide: How Can I Put My Faith into Action?

by Randy Frazee

In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains there is a difference between simply believing something in our heads and allowing those beliefs to shape our actions and behaviors. It is not enough to think like Jesus . . . we must also act like Jesus. For this reason, once we understand what we believe, we need to yield to the direction of the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead us to those biblical practices that will bring about spiritual transformation in our lives. As we do this, the Holy Spirit will lead us to make these resolutions:



I will worship God for who he is and for what he has done for me.

I will pray to God to know him, find direction for my life, and to lay my requests before him.

I will study the Bible to know God and his truth and find direction for my daily life.

I will dedicate my life to God's purposes.

I will fellowship with Christians to accomplish God's purposes in my life and in the world.

I will seek to understand my spiritual gifts so I can use them to fulfill God's purposes.

I will give my resources to fulfill God's purposes.

I will share my faith with others to fulfill God's purposes.
Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Act Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 2 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

Reviews

[Terri Milstead · Rating 2 out of 5]

While I liked the material in this book better than the first book (Frazee dropped the tendency from book one to tell the reader what they should think/believe), the videos for this book took a definite downturn for me, so my rating is the same as for the first.* Each video has a wonderfully animated section which accompanies a Bible passage. In this set of videos, Frazee often retells all or almost all of the scripture passage again after that. Why?

As with the first book, though, this is an easy to lead series and the questions keep the discussion moving in our small group very well.

*I know this is supposed to be a book review, but to me it’s about how this works as a group study.
