Growing Your Faith by Being Faithful by Tabitha Osborne Pdf

Have you pulled up anchor and deliberately sailed away from God, or maybe you're just slowly drifting? Until one day, God's voice calls to you like the lighthouse will beckon to the nearby ships, alerting them to danger. God comes for us shining His light into the dark and dismal place that has us trapped. I made many mistakes in my life while being away from God, from the small barely noticeable ones, which seemed easy to fix, to the earth-shattering, knee-bending ones that I couldn't crawl out of without help. Today, I know that a strong relationship with God takes time and effort. Faith isn't stagnant. Faith involves active participation. Like a seed develops its roots beneath the soil, our faith grows deeper as we take our time getting to know God intimately through His Word. The more we understand and see His faithfulness throughout the Bible, the more we will love Him. Then our faith strengthens and becomes rooted in Him. In being faithful to my relationship with God, I found myself anchored in place by deep roots, and every gardener knows deep, strong roots are hard to uproot. These devotions were written to share my I-finally-get-it moments when God would teach me through my work, my relationships, and my daily activities. It didn't matter whether I was gardening, traveling, or cooking. God used these moments to open my eyes to certain truths He wanted me to know. On a roller coaster, where only death was expected, faith was finally understood. While chasing a storm with my mother, I understood a reason for trials. As I wrote, I prayed for the readers, and I longed that they, too, would draw and stay closer to Him, and I hope that you will be one of them.

Gospel-Centered Discipleship (Foreword by Matt Chandler) by Jonathan K. Dodson Pdf

A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel

Let Your Faith Grow by Rev'd David Bick Pdf

This important rooted and readable book is about the living character of human faith. Crucially, personal 'faith' is not portrayed as some sort of 'once-off' acquisition of a ready-packaged creed or secular belief system. Rather, seeds of faith actually tend to grow, change, indeed 'evolve' through particular stages during the human life-course. These relatively unknown stages are the main platform for David Bick's text. Facing all of us with fundamentals of our human character, this book provides food for the soul in all seasons of life, from teens to old age.

How to Grow Your Heart’S Garden for God by Jonathan Martin Pdf

We all know that life can be hard, and working in the garden and trying to grow a garden is hard work. In our lives, if we want to grow spiritually closer to God, it takes work and effort in each of our hearts. The truth that God gives us is from his Word. It is the seeds that we need to plant in our lives and be willing to accept. The seed has to have water so it can grow. We need the active working of God in our lives so the truth can come alive in our lives. As we grow, we need be close to Gods will in our lives, in the light of His will for our lives, so we can continue to grow for him. As God prepares us to do his work, we must be rooted in the foundational truths that God has for us in his Word. Like a garden, we have to be aware of the dangers that come in and can contaminate our effectiveness for God. All the steps that we need to take so that we might be fruitful for God, to have a final product that is worthy before God when one day we meet him. I hope that you will take the journey and see that you too can have a beautiful garden for God.

Coming Before the Lord by Doug Poole Pdf

Can we have a personal relationship with God today? What does it require to become a believer? Is it possible to enter the presence of God like they did in the OT? Can anything from an old book like the Bible be used today? Does applying the Scriptures in the twenty-first century really answer today's questions for living life to the fullest? The Old and New Testaments reveal much about the character of God. Examples of both good and evil are revealed for our learning. The results of both good and evil are explained in detail, and we can see the results of each choice. As we read through the Bible, we see evidence of God's plan for mankind and opportunities to become more acquainted with Him. Working together with the Holy Spirit provides guidance and understanding that are intended to strengthen and help us. This wisdom has practical applications that provide a better way to handle life. He has revealed ways we can use to personalize a relationship with Him that can grow over time. Entering His Presence is possible today because of what Christ accomplished by his death, burial, and resurrection. The finished work of Christ has opened a gateway to the throne of God that was not available to each believer before. We become like the priests of old and have access to the Father. Old Testament rituals have been replaced with New Testament opportunities that seek Him and receive help and understanding. The sending of the Holy Spirit has provided us with the Helper that resides inside of every believer. We can have a personal relationship with our Creator. Entering His Presence is possible today because Christ broke down the barrier that once stood between God and man. Come join Him through the scriptural invitation that is extended to all. Experience the finished work of Christ right now-before His return. Now is the acceptable time to call upon His name and live life to the fullest and become ready for the eternity that awaits you!

Faith Walking with Jesus by Elmer Towns Pdf

Faith Walking With Jesus Well-known and beloved author Elmer Towns answers these life-empowering and spirit-enriching questions: What is walking by faith? Who can walk by faith and how can it happen? Can anyone walk by faith if they don't know what faith means? Why do you need both faith and works? What does it mean to take a "leap of faith"? How can you grow your faith? Faith-walking is not faith running or faith standing—it is walking by faith moment by moment daily. How is that accomplished? Each of the 7 chapters in Faith Walking With Jesus reveal truths gleaned from years exploring the Bible with the Holy Spirit, living life with Jesus, and sharing the blessings and experiences of co-founding of Liberty University with Jerry Falwell. The author testifies of faith in God’s promises, “Liberty University began with 154 students that first year. Today Liberty University has 120,000 students and a financial budget of $1.2 billion a year.” Faith Walking With Jesus also presents 49 biblically sound devotionals written to encourage and instruct you how to faith-walk. Plus, 7 comprehensive lessons not only help strengthen your exciting new or newly expanded walk of faith, but provide ways to teach others this lifestyle as well.
