Steadfast Love Of The Lord
A Clear, Biblical Picture of God’s Unconditional Love for His Children
Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience his affection for themselves.
Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God’s sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.
*Accessible: An introductory approach to biblical theology, this book is perfect for laypeople and thoughtful Christians
*Practical: Not only helps believers study the nature of God but helps them experience his affection for themselves
*Honest: From a biblical perspective, this book addresses the cultural lies of our age to explain what love is and what it isn’t
Gathered For Good
We live in a season when church attendance is still building back to what it was before the pandemic. Many Christians have been separated from their church communities. How do we resume and re-prioritize church life and join back together? Why do we even need to-especially when online church fits so neatly around our schedules? Gathered for Good addresses this felt need with empathy and authority and encourage believers to commit to their local church community as a way to deepen their spiritual growth and invest in treasure that will last.
Jonathan Griffiths offers a path that calls Christians to “gather.” As believers, Jonathan reminds us that God’s design for our lives is to gather to serve, to give, to commit, and several other reasons that are discussed powerfully. But above all, God’s gift to his people is that gathering is for our own good.
Wine In The Word Video Study (DVD)
Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren’t we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn’t have anything to do with that. Doesn’t the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?
Does it surprise you that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went.
Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil’s tool of temptation. And we’ve all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.
In this six-session video Bible study, scholar and author Gisela H. Kreglinger and pastor and author Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy, and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God’s earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things.
Sanctuary : Being Christian In The Wake Of Trump
“Through the pages of this book, I invite you into various spaces of sanctuary–not as places of retreat, but for the deepened resistance, vision, and transformation that these days, and the gospel, require.”
Throughout her nearly forty years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make communities of faith into sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life. Now, with the social and political upheaval of the years since Donald Trump was elected president, Neumark believes the true Christian calling is to live out a counterpoint to today’s prevailing spirits of exclusion and hatred. Using her own bilingual, multicultural congregation as a model, she moves through the seasons of the church calendar to reflect on what it looks like to live out essential Christian convictions in community with others.
Sanctuary is an amplifier for the many voices crying out against policies and rhetoric that are cruel, dehumanizing, and dangerous. Neumark begins each chapter with a quote from Donald Trump that she defies and dismantles with the power of her own stories–anecdotes about offering shelter for queer youth in her city, supporting immigrants and asylum-seekers being harassed by ICE, and embracing her church’s diversity with a Guadalupe celebration, to name a few. Timely, but also timeless, this book speaks to the deep wounds of this era, inflicted before and during the Trump presidency, which will remain long past its end.
Drive Through The Bible
An epic, unforgettable road trip.
The Old Testament. The New Testament. Proverbs and Psalms. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. When traveling, we rely heavily on maps and navigation systems to take us through the countryside and to our destination. Drive Through the Bible is a 30-session guided tour that explores the beautiful and treacherous landscape of the entire Bible story.
With the pastoral guidance of Colin Smith, this book brings you into the valleys of the Old Testament, the peaks of the glory of Jesus, and the ups and downs of the Christian life. This journey spans thousands of years, but its simple, guided approach makes it feel like a quick drive up the road.
Mastering Our Emotions
Emotions are a gift from God-yes, even the “bad” ones.
Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors-all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God’s power to change lives.
In Mastering Our Emotions you’ll find:
*exercises
*worksheets
*Scripture readings, and
*reflection prompts
to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God’s help you can experience emotional transformation.
Simplicity Of Preaching
The fundamentals of preaching are central to the life the church. Revisit them in this crucial guide for beginner and veteran preachers alike.
When a preacher stands in the pulpit or at the lectern, he aims to help God’s people understand what God has said and how it applies to their lives so that they grow in their knowledge of God and are equipped to live for his glory. It’s a job with eternal significance, so the process of getting to that point is crucial.
Jonathon Woodyard and Chase Sears encourage us to go back to the basics. Returning to the fundamentals of preaching from time to time, reminding ourselves of our basic undertaking, is a wise strategy for faithfulness and helpful to both veteran and novice.
Preaching flows from a man who has seen great things in the Bible, has savored what he has seen, and is eager to stand before God’s people to say what he saw. This is the pattern we follow in The Simplicity of Preaching.
The authors highlight some strategies you can employ to see what the text says; ways you can help yourself savor the glorious truths of the Bible; and good homiletical practices that inform how you can most effectively say things from the pulpit.
This short book is helpfully divided into five sections:
1. What is Preaching and Why Do We Need It?
2. The Role of the Spirit in Preparing to Preach
3. Seeing: How We See Before We Say
4. Savoring What We See
5. How We Say What We Have Savored
