Prompted by a friend to describe Jesus as he is - not as he was or will be in the coming days - Dick Eastman found himself stammering. What followed over many months was a desire to get to know the Jesus who had changed his life, but in a much fuller and richer way - now! From then on, on scraps of folded paper in his pockets, Eastman found himself recording adjectives describing the nature and character of Jesus Christ, expanding them later into a personal devotional journal.

On the Saints is the third volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, in which the saints of both the Old and New Testaments are presented for the encouragement and edification of the faithful.

If you allow the law to intrude into your life, it is a serious matter. It will take away your joy in the Lord. It will bring death into your life. It will make you rely on yourself. It will cause you to feel either pride or condemnation. And it will alienate you from Christ and the workings of the Holy Spirit. As Spirit-filled believers, we are meant to live a life led by the Holy Spirit. Find out Why you are not meant to live under the law, Who the law is for, Who the law is not for, Why the law—for a believer—has such detrimental effects, and How you can increase your awareness of ...

“Understanding the Godhead” by Pastor Gregory K. Riggen is the product of years of study and experience expounding from Scriptural principles. This thorough account of the fullness of the Godhead — the Oneness of God's Being, the essence of His Spiritual nature (eternal, invisible, etc.) and the incarnation of His Spirit in human form (in the man Christ Jesus) — leaves readers "without excuse" as the Apostle Paul tells us it should in Romans 1:20. This concise explanation of the Godhead returns its readers to the brevity, clarity and simplicity that comes naturally when you really "...

All of history is His story His Creation ■ His Covenant His Cradle ■ His Cup ■ His Crown His Cross ■ His Conquest ■ His Coming In today’s fast-paced, self-focused world, it’s difficult to find quality biblical teaching, let alone teaching that simplifies profound truth so it can be applied to everyday lives.

In this collection of eight powerful messages, Pastor Rogers lays out God’s purpose and ...

Most Christians recognize the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection. But how many of us understand the theological significance of Jesus’ actions before and after the Crucifixion? In The Work of Christ, Dr. R. C. Sproul looks at every aspect of Jesus’ life and work, addressing such life-changing topics as: Why Jesus’ baptism is relevant for our salvation.

This walk through the book of Hebrews is intended to be faithful to the intended meaning of Scripture. I believe the main point of Hebrews to warn against falling back into a works-based view of salvation. To this point across, the author repeatedly presses Christ Jesus as better than any other being, revealing the New Covenant to be better (and different from) the Old Covenant. Many have referred to the Bible as the gospel in the Old Testament concealed, in the New Testament revealed. But redemptive history is not divided so neatly, and the redeemer was progressively revealed to God’s ...

John Flavel (1627-1691) was an English Presbyterian clergyman, puritan, and popular author. Christ Altogether Lovely is a short meditation on the life and work of Jesus Christ. The text is introduced by a quote from The Song of Songs: "This is my beloved, and this is my friend." (Song of Songs 5:16). Flavel highlights Christ's offices as prophet, priest, and king, and his relations to Christians as savior, advocate, bridegroom, and friend.

The life of the prophet Elisha, though less dramatic and confrontational than that of Elijah, is filled with powerful miraculous signs, fiery horses and chariots, and moving events in which the LORD rescues his people, defeats their enemies, and teaches us about himself. This commentary demonstrates how Elisha stands out as a clear ‘type’ of Christ. The prophet prepares us for the arrival of the Messiah and gives us detailed insight into Jesus’ ministry hundreds of years before he came. This not only confirms God’s intentional sending of his Son into the world but also deepens our ...

“It may appear from the cover that this is a nice book about growing a beard because Jesus did but be warned- you will quickly discover that Ed's adventure takes him, and us, deep into the heart of grace, mercy and the endless discovery of just what the way of Jesus looks like - which, of...

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

The truthful Man . . . falsely accused. The innocent Man . . . illegally tried and wrongly convicted. The gentle Man . . . who suffered punishment few could imagine, much less endure. The murdered Man . . . who forgave His own merciless killers. The divine Man . . . who died as a common criminal...

When peace seems far from us and when true rest doesn’t come, we don’t need more to-dos on our list or a set of step-by-step instructions to help us get there on our own. True peace, hope, and rest only comes by spending time in the presence of God. Spend 90 days in His Word focused on who God is and what He is like and find that He is worthy to be trusted at every twist or turn of life. He is better than our minds can imagine, in control of all things, and infinitely good.

Athanasius of Alexandria was a bishop in fourth-century Egypt. Thanks in part to Athanasius’ arguments, his position of Trinitarianism (that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost were all One God) became the official position of Christendom, and remains so to this day. This work, On the Incarnation (or sometimes On the Incarnation of the Word of God), was his first book. It tackles the central point of the divine saga, God’s embodiment on Earth as Christ, and seeks to understand, in detail, the “why” and “how” of it all.

In 1868, a French archaeologist and his team were excavating a cemetery in Egypt when they came upon a certain tomb from the eighth century. In the tomb was a monk, reclining peacefully with hands folded on his breast, clasping a small book which he believed to be sacred, holy, and inspired. This book contained the Gospel of Peter. A portion of The Gospel According to Peter had been restored to the Christian community after having been lost over a thousand years.

Nothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually. Many heresies were confronted, answered, and dismissed. Throughout the 2000 plus years of church history, many of the early church heresies have reappeared over and over again. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant the answers are from the Word of God.

What was Jesus doing prior to his conception in Mary’s womb? While we see the father and the Holy Spirit actively engaged in human affairs across the pages of the Old Testament, the other member of the Trinity is foreshadowed in messianic prophecies but otherwise absent from the earth. Or is he? Jesus Before Bethlehem explores dozens of Old Testament appearances by a figure often called “the angel of the lord”. He not only speaks for God; he speaks as God.
