Synopsis

They are simple phrases. They sound Christian—like something you might find in the Bible. We’ve all heard these words. Maybe we’ve said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways.

The 5-session DVD features Adam Hamilton presenting to a group in his engaging style. Adam breaks down these common sayings using Scripture and story with practical applications. Each of the five sessions contains 8-10 minutes of video and is perfect for adult and youth classes. All video sessions are closed captioned.

Session titles include:

• Everything happens for a reason.
• God helps those who help themselves.
• God won’t give you more than you can handle.
• God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
• Love the sinner, hate the sin.

In 2012, it was recognized as the most influential mainline church in America, and Hamilton was asked by the White House to deliver the sermon at the Obama inaugural prayer service.
