Chase Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Chasing After the Heart of God

In this eight-session video Bible study on the life of David (video streaming + leaders guide included), Jennie Allen shows us a man who spent his life chasing after God, instead of what we often chase within ourselves.

What are you chasing? Are you doing everything right but still feel empty? Are you so busy doing things for God and everyone else that you altogether miss him? Do you ever, in your busy life, stop and see him, really see him?  

Jennie Allen felt paralyzed in her relationship with God until it occurred to her that maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe God was after something else. When she stumbled across the phrase in 1 Samuel 13, "David was a man after God's own heart," she was intrigued. She knew David was both completely broken, and completely sold out for God.

 After examining David's life of chasing after God, we learn of several things we shouldn't be chasing:

Don't chase self-worth by achieving more Don't chase freedom by protecting yourself Don't chase approval by being moral Don't chase love by running away from guilt Don't chase answers by rejecting God Don't chase satisfaction by rebelling  Don't chase fulfillment. Chase God! 

Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, discover that God has carved out a space in each of us that only he can fill. So, whether you are running from God or working your tail off to please him, David’s journey will challenge your view of God. He is the only thing we can chase that won’t leave us feeling more empty. 

The Chase Study Guide (video access included) uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the life of David to engage the mind and heart.
