When Jesus is Lord, life is transformed. Many Christians are thankful for their salvation, yet wonder why their daily lives look much like those who do not follow Christ. The difference often lies in one powerful declaration: Jesus is Lord. To make this confession is to open the door to genuine transformation. In this study, trusted pastor and author Tom Berlin explores how embracing Jesus as Lord has reshaped the lives of so many people--both in biblical times and today. With clarity and insight, Berlin shows how the Lordship of Christ impacts every part of our lives: our relationships, our habits, our priorities, and our values. Drawing on a variety of biblical texts, including Exodus, the Psalms, the Gospels, and the Epistles, he invites readers to discover how saying yes to Jesus as Lord leads to lasting joy, renewed purpose, and a deeper faith. In addition to the book, other study components include a Leader Guide and video available on DVD
