What happens when you are discouraged? Do you understand why the things that happen to you affect you the way they do? Is there a way to overcome your hurt feelings, despair, and disappointments in life? Discouragement affects us all. No one is immune to it. But according to Jamie Buckingham, more often than not, our feelings of discouragement have less to do with something that has happened to us or something that was said to us, and more to do with our lack of purpose in life. Do you know what your purpose in life is? Is your purpose to be served? Or is your purpose in life to be of ...

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

God is not calling to our intellects. He is calling to our hearts. He is calling to that deep inner place where we are, to where we will become his people. And when we become his people, then he becomes Lord of all. When that happens, then no matter what he does, it is within the realm of his love and his kindness and his mercy and his grace. We have a God who is so great that he will work through us to bring his miracles and to bring his healing. Because it's God who is in control, and we trust only in him.

This is Jamie Buckingham's testimony in which he begins with the premise that there is much more to our Christian experience than what first meets the eye. Our lives are like placid lakes which are deeply polluted. We have customarily pushed the pain of unhappy experiences beneath the surface where it stays quite alive in the subconscious mind. If we follow Jesus, the Holy Spirit will lead us to people and circumstances that will bring our sin to the surface where it can be confessed and forgiven.

It is God's purpose and plan for us all to grow old and to go through physical changes. But it is not God's purpose for us to grow old and stop serving Him. Everything changes because our God is a God of change. There is nothing stationary about God. He is always moving and progressing forward and, as Christians, we are part of something God is doing, regardless of our age or physical condition. So regardless of how old you are or how you feel physically, God still has something for you to do for His kingdom.

People, like trees, bear fruit in their proper season. In this booklet, taken from a favorite sermon by Pastor Jamie Buckingham, we read that the blessed tree is not the kind that needs to be watered, or nourished, all the time. This tree does not need constant feeding in order to bring forth fruit in its season. The blessed tree may be planted by a dry river bed, but it has roots that go deep into the ground, where reservoirs of stored water are found. In the same way, the blessed man is not meant to produce fruit all the time. But he will produce fruit in its proper season, when his ...

This book is about encouragement. It is about the tremendous value of hearing a simple encouraging word and the need for Christians to be encouragers to others. From John Wesley sending a letter to William Wilberforce and encouraging him to press on with his goal to abolish slavery in England to parents encouraging their young son to take his first steps, an apt word spoken, like the proverbs say, are like apples of gold in baskets of silver. Jamie tells the story of sitting in the airport, feeling a little dejected, and having an unknown woman simply touch him on the shoulder as she passes...

This is a book of hope, encouragement, and the true-to-life experiences of a man who was told he was going to die, yet he continued to seek God and hold out hope that the Lord of the universe was with him and would be with him all the way to the end, whenever that might be. This book is for anyone who needs to know that God is love and He is still in control.

Have you ever found yourself in a pit, emotionally, financially, or spiritually? In a way only he can teach, Jamie Buckingham relates the pit experiences of Joseph from the audiobook of Genesis to our own “pits” of today. Joseph found himself in two very different kinds of pits in his life: once in the desert when he angered his brothers, and again in Egypt, when he was punished for doing the right things in the eyes of God.

The time: approximately 1,200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The place: the Sinai Peninsula, that barren and remote desert that separated Egypt from the Promised Land of Israel. Into this burning crucible, Moses led the children of Israel. They were on foot fleeing the bondage of Egypt, where they had spent the last 480 years. They were on their way to claiming their inheritance, a land they had never seen, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Often, as people read the Bible, they come under the conviction that God wants them to change their ways. Or perhaps He wants to encourage them with the example of one of His fearful but obedient children. Or warn them of impending disaster if they persist in behavior He does not condone. Why do Bible people affect them this way? Because they are not legendary giants or superheroes; they are ordinary people.

This study guide will lead you to see what Moses saw, and stop where he stopped, as Jamie teaches 13 individual lessons on spiritual maturity learned along the way.

In this book taken from a series of five sermons, Jamie Buckingham describes the process a Christian must go through to move forward in the Holy Spirit and lay hold of all the promises of God. “Get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give you, and I will give you every place where you set your foot,” God told the children of Israel as they approached the Promised Land. Like the Israelites, Jamie explains, we have promises from God.

Do you want to hear from God, but you have trouble discerning His voice in your life? Do you want to obey the commands of God, but you don’t have the power to do so on a daily basis? Do you want to be able to stand in the Last Days, but you don’t know if you have what it takes? In this booklet, taken directly from one of his sermons, Jamie Buckingham provides answers to these questions and more. Using Hebrews 10 as his text, Jamie addresses several essential principles that determine our capacity to hear God, obey Him, and live according to His perfect plan and purpose.

There is a curtain on the invisible world. Yet, there are times when God raises the curtain and we are permitted to see beyond the veil into the spiritual world. What is beyond is marvelous. Angels are all around us, and they are standing ready to fight our spiritual battles for us. All we need to do to activate them is to pray. When we pray, God mobilizes the angelic forces, and suddenly the battle is no longer ours. The battle is the Lord’s. In this little book, Jamie Buckingham tells of the importance of prayer in his life. He then relates the story of the prophet Elisha and how, when ...

What is it really like to be inside the Kingdom of God? Is everyone just lounging around all day, leisurely chatting? No hard work, all relaxation? What Jamie Buckingham describes in this booklet is probably far different from your own vision of what being in God's Kingdom is really all about or should be all about. Jamie answers the question so many Christians posed to him in the course of his ministry: "If we have inherited the Promised Land, then why am I constantly back here in the wilderness?" In other words, why is my life still so hard even though I have been a follower of Christ for...
