The Fundamentals of the Christian Faith by Steve Urick Pdf

In our busy society many Christians find it hard to take the time to read and understand larger systematic theology and apologetic (defense of the faith) books. The Fundamentals of the Christian Faith gives a clear and concise explanation of several essential Bible doctrines to help ground believers in the Christian faith and equip them with practical knowledge in basic apologetics. This book is the result of many years of Bible study, evangelistic work, and apologetic research and debate. It will help to prepare anyone who wants to do the work of evangelism, make disciples of Christ, and refute many false teachings that exist in our world today.

The Basics of Christianity by John Rogers Pdf

Without knowing the basics of Christianity, there is no way to truly understand the “good news” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God offers a chance for the best life now, and the promise of eternal life through faith in His son as savior and redeemer – something John Rogers drives home in this book. Focusing on the fundamentals of Christianity, he introduces selected Scriptures and bolsters them with modern and relevant commentary. He also answers questions such as: • What does it mean to have free will? • What is the most important decision you can make in your life? • What must you do to enjoy eternal life? The author notes that God’s will and ways are not human wills and ways. We may be incapable of understanding His plans or the vast expanse of the universe, but we can pray for His guidance. Believing in an unseen being challenges us to believe in things even more incredible: our Heavenly Father, the virgin birth of His resurrected Son, and eternal life. Conquer these challenges and walk with the Lord with this important overview of Christianity.

Forerunners of the Faith Teacher's Guide by Nathan Busenitz Pdf

Enter God’s Story of Faithfulness to His People The Christian faith extends beyond our personal experiences, our individual churches, and far beyond our present age. This, for the Christian, is great news. When we become acquainted with the legacy of our Christian heritage, we connect our stories to those of the faithful believers who have come before us. This connection is precisely what Nathan Busenitz, Dean of Faculty and professor of church history at The Master's Seminary, seeks to provide. Based on the bestselling Fundamentals of the Faith, Forerunners of the Faith outlines the biblical orthodoxy that characterizes the true church. Busenitz succinctly identifies thirteen key lessons that capture the trials and triumphs of the historical Church, providing insights for how the ancient Christians responded to the problems of their day to become the pillars of faith we now consider them to be. Learn how your faith stands on the shoulders of giants like Athanasius, Augustine, and Wycliffe. As more than a didactic resource, Forerunners of the Faith serves as spiritual encouragement as we remember the legacy of God’s faithfulness to his people.

What Is a Reformed Church? by Stephen Smallman Pdf

Stephen Smallman, author of Understanding the Faith, has provided a booklet that pastors and churches will find eminently useful. While teaching inquires classes, Smallman writes, "I got a sense of the kind of issues that are in peoples' minds as they struggle to understand and appreciate the core doctrines and traditions of the church." In What Is a Reformed Church? he treats historical roots and the doctrines of Scripture, divine sovereignty, the covenant, the law, the church, and the kingdom.

Simple Faith by Margaret Silf Pdf

For many people, faith is based on creeds, doctrine, and head knowledge. It's about mastering the "facts" and having the "right" answers. But best-selling author Margaret Silf believes that faith is not about mastery but about mystery, and that living in that mystery allows us to properly shift our focus from religion to relationship - a relationship with the Divine. In Simple Faith, Silf encourages us to rethink many of the teachings on faith that may be holding us back from the joy and freedom that can be found only in a meaningful experience of God. Through her thought-provoking, even surprising, answers to common questions about faith—Is it true that God is love? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why did Jesus have to die?&mash;she advocates radically simple yet profound beliefs that are based in a new, liberating understanding of faith itself. Ultimately, Simple Faith, moves us beyond the complexities of conventional religion and clears the path for us to grow in a life-changing relationship with God.
