When we ask after someone’s well-being how often do we have to brace ourselves, ready to hear a list of complaints? We rarely hear of total contentment even in church circles and frequently overhear grumbling wherever we go. Yet if anyone had multiple causes for complaint it was the apostle Paul. He wrote to the church in Philippi saying that he had learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Not only was he writing from prison but he had suffered physically, emotionally and spiritually far more than most of us could ever imagine. Even so, he said that he had learned the secret of ...

‘Does Jesus heal today?’ This book is to help people spend some time each day reading about how Jesus healed and to think and pray about how that still applies to all of us today.

You’re able to understand the Bible. Really. After first comprehending what the Mosaic Law teaches (including its criminal justice statutes), then we must determine which of its precepts apply to today. Without the New Testament's epistles, we Christians would hopelessly wrestle with the Law of Moses, not knowing which parts of it apply today and which do not. Hebrews says that with "the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

As you read Unveiling the Sermon on the Mount, you will be transported back to a rugged hillside on the edge of the Sea of Galilee to study the greatest sermon Jesus ever preached. This sermon still challenges and instructs all of us who have a desire to become more like Christ. In clear and practical terms, Jesus explained what the heart of a genuine disciple will look like.

As you read you will be challenged by Christ’s most important commands to seek rest His kingdom, what it means to turn the ...

You have read the Psalms before. But have you understood them? Psalms 21 to 40 contain some of the most quoted and most misunderstood passages in the entire Bible. The psalm Jesus quoted from the cross. The psalm written by an old man who has watched long enough to know exactly how the story ends. The psalm for the person who has run out of words and has nothing left but a groan. And the psalm where the Son of God announces his own arrival in the middle of a personal testimony about being pulled from a pit. H.K. Holland takes these twenty psalms apart verse by verse and puts them back ...

The history of the Roman Empire is often told through the clashing of swords, the expansion of borders, and the ego of emperors, yet some of its most profound transformations occurred in the quiet, intellectual spaces of a governor’s court. To understand the transition of the Mediterranean world from a tapestry of pagan cults to a landscape dominated by the Christian faith, one must look closely at the figure of Sergius Paulus.

For centuries, believers have assumed that the teachings of the Reformers faithfully restored the message of the Bible. Yet when we examine the writings of the earliest Christians—the disciples of the apostles and the generations immediately after them—a very different picture emerges. The Deformation invites listeners to take a fresh and honest look at several foundational teachings of the Reformation—such as total depravity, penal substitutionary atonement, the meaning of “works of the law,” the role of free will, and the interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount.
