New Testament Postcards by Charles R. Swindoll Pdf
These one-chapter books of the Bible may be short, but they illustrate how to live authentic Christian lives in the middle of a culture opposed to truth and grace. Still-relevant issues include: how our oneness in Christ transcends social boundaries, how to love with discernment, and how to deal with false teachers who are wrecking the church.
Some Postcards from John by Timothy Cross,Malcolm White Pdf
The 'postcards' that John wrote to the churches of 2 and 3 John are packed full of useful instruction and exhortation. John sent these 'postcards' on ahead of hoped for, and longed for face to face visits: in 2 John to 'the elect lady and her children' and in 3 John to 'the beloved Gaius'. Both churches had their problems. The problem in the church of 2 John concerned deceiving deviants from outside the church - 'men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh', whilst the problem addressed in 3 John was concerned mainly with a dreadful dictator from within the church - 'Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority'. These problem personalities from the first century will ring many present-day bells with us in the twenty-first century. In John's 'postcards', we encounter doctrine, duty, affirmation of truth, and warning against error. We meet love and discipline along with affection and sternness. Overriding everything, as everywhere in the Bible, we glimpse something of the supernatural glory of God in contrast with the sinful humanity He sent His Own Son to save. If you thought this was a book just to read, then think again! At the end of each chapter there is a set of thought-provoking and stimulating questions, each of which could be the subject of a Bible study group.

Postcards are personal, powerful, and force us to get to the point. The same is true for inspired postcards that, sadly, are often left unread. Blink and you will miss the brief notes of Philemon, 2nd John, 3rd John, Jude, and the letters to the seven churches -- proof positive that you can say a lot in a little.
Postcards from Rome explores Paul’s life as seen through his own eyes and proposes an engaging theory about his apparently aborted trip to Spain, mentioned in Rom 15:24. Drawing from Paul’s canonical letters—authentic and forged—as well as Luke’s Acts of the Apostles, and the Acts of Paul and the Acts of Thecla, two noncanonical writings dating from the end of the first century CE, this book imagines a new scenario for a hypothetical twenty-first-century audience, not a real first-century one, attempting to describe the trip to Spain that never was.

The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament by Nancy Guthrie Pdf
We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, “the Scriptures point to me!” In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol of a temple where people can meet with God; the prophecy of a servant who will suffer; the person of a king who will rule with righteousness—and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Cross and Resurrection.
