    About this ebook

    Will you be defeated by the forces of fear, confusion, and temptation? Or will you put on God's armor and overcome?  

    The Bible promises us that we were created to be overcomers, no matter what the world throws at us. And we all know it's hard out there. Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams.

    In this six-session, video-based Bible study (DVD/digital streaming sold separately), beloved teacher Dr. David Jeremiah will unpack one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul's call to the Ephesians to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).

    In each session, you'll be introduced to one of the six pieces of armor, what each represents, and what they allow us to overcome:

    • Belt of Truth
    • Breastplate of Righteousness
    • Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
    • Shield of Faith
    • Helmet of Salvation
    • Sword of the Spirit

    When we are armed with God's armor, we receive God's power to face life's challenges and be assured of success. With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool each day as we confront the specific challenges in our lives and of our time. 

    Sessions include:

    1. Overcoming Falsehood with Truth
    2. Overcoming Evil with Good
    3. Overcoming Anxiety with Peace
    4. Overcoming Fear with Faith
    5. Overcoming Confusion with Wisdom
    6. Overcoming Temptation with Scripture

     

    Designed for use with the Overcomer Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

      Dr. David Jeremiah is one of my favorite Preacher/Teachers to watch on TV. I have read some of his previous books and found them very helpful. Therefore, I was very excited when OVERCOMER was released. This is a book I will reread several times. I have highlighted so many passages, it looks as if my entire book is highlighted. Dr. Jeremiah has taken one of my favorite passages (Ephesians 6:10-18). With his spiritual knowledge and love of scripture he explains Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus. If you have wondered about the armor or weapons listed and their uses, you will want to read this book. We do not have to be defeated. God has given us all we need to fight our battles. It's time that we claim the promises in God's word. Just as the title says, we can be OVERCOMERS. Dr. Jeremiah, as he tells in his book, has faced some life changing obstacles, having Hodgkin Lymphoma and now being cancer free. His book “When Your World Falls Apart” was a big help and so encouraging when my husband got his diagnoses. I can not say enough about OVERCOMER. I feel every Christian should read this book. I believe it would make a wonderful gift.I was given a copy of this book by Thomas Nelson through NetGalleys.The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

    Overcomer Bible Study Guide - Dr. David Jeremiah

    INTRODUCTION

    Let’s face it: It’s a difficult world out there. Sometimes it feels like our society is ripping apart at the seams. Sometimes it feels like our hearts can’t take any more hurt. But no matter what the world throws at us—anxiety, fear, confusion, temptation—we have a choice on how to respond. We can concede defeat or live in the victory that God has promised to us in His Word.

    Of course, it’s easy to say we are going to choose victory. But it’s another matter entirely to walk in it every day, especially when we are faced with problems that overwhelm us. I’m reminded of the story of David and Goliath as told in 1 Samuel 17. Day after day, the entire Israelite army was cowering in fear of the giant—including their king. It took a special kind of warrior to step into that situation and choose to be an Overcomer. David was that warrior. His trust in God was so secure that he volunteered to fight Goliath.

    David had the conviction, courage, and confidence to face the giant. This was not due to the physical armor that King Saul tried to place on him—David actually refused to wear it—but because of the spiritual armor he had been equipping himself with every day as he spent time with the Lord. This enabled David to face his challenges in the strength of the Lord.

    In this study, I want to teach you God’s strategy for overcoming challenges so that you can be an Overcomer like David. To do this, we will draw on the apostle Paul’s words in Ephesians 6:10–18 and discuss what it means to put on each piece of God’s armor in a practical and effective way. As we go through each session, you will discover how to put on . . .

    the belt of truth to overcome falsehood

    the breastplate of righteousness to overcome evil

    the shoes of the gospel of peace to overcome anxiety

    the shield of faith to overcome fear

    the helmet of salvation to overcome confusion

    the sword of the Spirit to overcome temptation

    Living the life of an Overcomer will bring you strength, peace, courage, hope, and joy such as you’ve never known. It will also bring victory in your spiritual life. So join me on this journey to live a life of unstoppable strength, unmovable faith, and unbelievable power in the face of every challenge. Embrace your God-given destiny—for you are an Overcomer!

    HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

    The Overcomer video study is designed to be experienced in a group setting such as a Bible study, Sunday school class, or small group gathering. Each session begins with a brief Welcome section and opening questions to encourage thinking about the topic. After the opening questions, the group will watch the video message from Dr. David Jeremiah and engage in a time of directed discussion. Close each session with a time of personal reflection and prayer as a group.

    During the week, maximize the impact of the study by engaging in the Between-Sessions Personal Study activities provided for that week. Treat each personal study section (Seek, Reflect, Apply) like a devotional, using the material in whatever way works best for your schedule. Note that these personal study sections are not required, but they will be beneficial to you in your progress toward becoming an Overcomer. Beginning in Session Two, there will be an opportunity to share any thoughts, questions, or takeaways you have from your personal study.

    Each person in the group should have his or her own copy of this study guide. You are also encouraged to have a copy of the Overcomer book. Reading the book alongside the curriculum will provide additional insights and make the journey even more meaningful. To help you use both the book and this study, the For Next Week section lists the chapters in the Overcomer book that correspond to the following week’s session.

    Keep in mind that the video, discussion questions, and supplementary activities are simply tools to help you engage with each week’s lesson. As you complete this study on becoming an Overcomer, be in prayer that you will discover all that God has for you—that you will no longer be defined by defeat, but will become an Overcomer who puts on the whole armor of God, so that you can stand firm against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).

    Note: If you are a group leader, there are additional resources provided in the back of this
