By exploring questions asked by the Magi, Elizabeth, Mary, Zechariah, and the crowd witnessing the naming of John the Baptist, readers explore their own curiosities about purpose, favor, trust, justice, doubt, and promise: How can we find truth and meaning? Why is the world so unfair sometimes? Why do people have to suffer? How can we trust the unseen? How can we design the future we desire?

Is forgiving someone excusing what happened? When will I stop having to re-forgive? Is there a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? How can I forgive and still set boundaries? Is it ever okay not to forgive? Whether or not you are working through a hurtful situation right now, you can learn from Joseph how to release your past and present hurts to God and allow Him to do a supernatural work of forgiveness in your life.

With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible.

(Hebrews 11 V 1 – 12 V 3; 1 Peter 1 V 3-16)Additional Info
Heaven often seems unattractive and unreal. But the Bible shows heaven-God’s throne room today, where God works in “his-story” to bring sinners into heaven-the future new creation.Christians won’t go to heaven: heaven will come to us! This incredible future will not be enjoyed by everyone, so there are huge implications for us today. Life now is so tiny compared to eternity; what then can be more important than the truth about heaven?

In this helpful study, readers will see how this fascinating biblical book ultimately points to the sovereign Lord of history, who rules over all earthly kingdoms and whose plans cannot be thwarted.

Romans (Student/Study Guide)
$21.95Add to cartEstablished resource series for church groups and individual use
* An expert in church renewal takes the opportunity to approach the series in a fresh,
new fashionIt has been said that we are called not only to read Scripture but to let Scripture read
us. In that spirit, this book will guide readers into conversation with Paul’s letter to the
Romans. The author will help us listen to what that letter said to the people to whom it
was written and to hear what it says to us today. Readers will bring their own reflections,
personal concerns, and questions to the table as we let this letter challenge us with
meaning-letting it read the reader.The thesis of this book is that the letter has demonstrated transforming power to renew
lives and the church through a focus on worship; a rigorous assessment of the human
condition, especially the failure of human religiosity; a claim of transforming power in the
ongoing life of Christ; an expansive vision of who is included in God’s life and love; a call
to practical application and proclamation of the gospel.For thoughtful lay audiences, groups/parish study; resource for clergy, and education
professionals.
