Between Yes and Amen by Carroll Norwood Pdf

We are all entitled as believer's in Christ to the promises of God because God has spoken them to us and we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ and we are the seed of Abraham. What God has promised to Abraham he has also promised to us. The promise that God is releasing to you is greater than you can imagine. It can be as numerous and great as the stars in the sky and the sand on the ground. The word says that God can do exceedingly, abundantly far beyond what you ask of think according to the power that worketh in us. Let the power of God work through you and receive all that God has for you. Pastor C. A. Norwood was born in Baxley, GA. He received salvation at the age of 16. He attended Appling County Schools. Served in the United States Army and furthered his education at Beulah Heights Bible College in Atlanta, GA. He is the Senior Pastor of a rapidly-growing church, Abundant Life Worship Center Hinesville, GA. God has given him insight on building a ministry for hurting and lost generations. With this vision God will empower the people through the inspired Word of God. God has given Pastor Norwood a gift to reach all -both young and old, transcending all ethnic origins. And most of all, Pastor Norwood has a humble spirit that truly blesses everyone who meets him. His continued compassion for people and diligence in God's assignments will always be rewarded. He is married to Detra and has two children, Donte' and Amber Norwood.

Between the Ambo and the Altar by Guerric DeBona Pdf

The publication of The Roman Missal, Third Edition offers an opportunity for homilists to explore the relationship between the Sunday readings and the new Roman Missal. Between the Ambo and the Altar is the second book (Year B) in a three-volume series that presents scriptural, liturgical, and preaching commentary for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts throughout the year. Each Sunday's resources are presented in three sections: exploring the Scripture, connecting the Lectionary with the liturgy, and a homiletic strategy. DeBona takes the preacher through a meditation on the language of the Missal, suggests parallels to the Sunday Lectionary, and gives practical homiletic strategies, using core themes and images. It is hoped that the commentary advances a framework for homily preparation, so that preachers might "savor the deep meaning of the word of God which unfolds each year in the liturgy" (Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini 52).

Yes and Amen by Gregory M Smith,Iona Network Pdf

Promises, Promises... Parents make them. Children make them. And, sadly, we all break them. Because of our inherent distrust, we spend inordinate amounts of money to lawyers to help us draft contracts. We have to get promises in writing because we often can't trust other people. And, truth be told, we often can't be trusted. Trust is hard to come by - not because it isn't good, but because we're not! Yet, there's one type of promise, that God makes, called a covenant. It's based on Him alone - and it's a one-way, never compromising, always-for-us promise to save us. The Old Testament calls our attention to these covenant promises - and they're fulfilled, and completely realized in Jesus.Over the next five weeks of Lent we will take a journey through some of the promises that God makes and seeing how they are fulfilled in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, "For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "Yes!" And through Christ, our "Amen" (which means "Yes") ascends to God for his glory." Sufferings, challenges, disappointments are the natural course of events for us humans. And we long for someone to promise good for us. In the Old Testament, you see amazing promises made: God will provide a way through danger; God will provide a sacrifice; God will draw hearts to worship; God will be just; God will make things new -- each promise draws us closer to the reality our hearts long for, but our eyes never quite see. But (often when it's the darkest) we do see: All those promises find their "yes" in Jesus -- and our hearts sing out, "Amen!". Join us on the journey in this Gospel-centered Bible study. Read scripture, reflect, and join a small group Bible study as you explore the "Yes & Amen!" of Jesus.

Future Grace, Revised Edition by John Piper Pdf

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

Other Voices, Other Worlds by Terry Brown Pdf

Leading Anglican writers from around the world challenge the assumption that the communion is split between a liberal 'north' and an orthodox 'south'. Anglican churches worldwide are sharply divided on homosexuality. The dominant stereotype is that of a "global south" unanimously lined up against homosexuality as immoral and sinful, and of a liberal and decadent global north. The differences between the two sides are seen as fundamental, and irreconcilable. Nothing is further from the truth: homosexual behavior exists across the whole Anglican Communion, whether it is openly celebrated or quietly integrated into local churches and cultures. In this extraordinary book, in development for several years, this is exposed as a myth. Christians throughout Africa, Asia, and the developing world - bishops, priests and religious, academics and lay writers - open up dramatic new perspectives on familiar arguments and debates. Topics include biblical interpretation, sexuality and doctrine, local history, sexuality and personhood, the influence of other faiths, issues of colonialism and post-colonialism, homophobia, and the place of homosexual persons in the church. Other Voices, Other Worlds reveals the rich historical and cross-cultural complexity to same-sex relationships, and injects dramatic new perspectives into a debate that has become stale and predictable.

Between the Cross and the Throne by Matthew Y. Emerson Pdf

Revelation is often considered one of the most confusing books of the Bible, and consequently it’s regularly overlooked or ignored. But no longer. In Between the Cross and the Throne, Matthew Emerson walks us through the book of Revelation, unpacking its complex imagery and pointing out major themes. In conversational tone, he reminds us that Christ died, but he has risen. The Lord reigns, but evil persists. We live between Christ’s ascension and his final conquest—and that should give us hope.

A Plea for British Black Theologies, Volume 1 by Roswith I. H. Gerloff Pdf

Since the Second World War more than 1,000 black independent congregations in around 300 different organizations have sprung up all over Britain. The immigration of Afro-Caribbeans and West Africans has led to the emergence and growth of many churches, which flourish in the cities and attract a growing number of members. They now play an increasingly active role in the social and ecumenical life of the nation, which is reflected in cooperation with the 'New Instrument' of the British churches. They comprise a rich diversity of theological traditions and cultural inheritance, some in an interesting blend, some in a struggle with white elements. Existence and growth of these communities have often been explained by factors inherent in British society, such as social deprivation and English racism. The book attempts to prove that, as much these factors are a reality, they do not account for the dynamics of the movement, its proliferation and stability. Rather these congregations are carried by strong cultural and theological forces, which molded the spiritual experience of the African diaspora. They carry a living faith, sound contextual theologies, and a form of organization, which presents a model for other ethnic minorities.
