Not My Jesus - Student Bible Study Book with Video Access: Reclaiming the Truth, Rejecting the Idols

by Shane Pruitt

Overview

Who is the real Jesus?

Most people have an opinion about who Jesus is. Some want to make Him the mascot of their cause. Others want to treat Him like a genie in a bottle, waiting hand and foot to grant their requests. And still others see Him as distant and unconcerned with our world. All too often, people allow their opinions about Jesus to shape their beliefs about Him. The truth is our opinions about Jesus don’t change who He is. But faith in the real Jesus of the Bible will change everything about who we are. Are you ready to meet the true Jesus? Are you ready to have your life changed?

In this 8-session Bible study, Shane Pruitt will teach us that everything we know about the true Jesus comes from the Bible. Only this Jesus can truly save and transform lives. Our opinion about Jesus doesn’t change who He is; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, our faith in the true Jesus will absolutely change who we are.
