Bringing Life to a Dying WorldLegendary author and evangelist Jessie Penn-Lewis believed that it was imperative for believers to understand the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice and what it means for them; for, as she said, “Truth out of place can be poison.” And the truth is found in Jesus’ death and resurrection. It is only when we identify ourselves with Christ and conform ourselves to His death that we are able to share in His victory. It is only when we become dead to sin that we can lead others to the path of life. By applying the truths outlined in this book, you will learn… How to answer your calling as a child of God How to break free from sin How to find joy in the midst of sorrow How to gain a deep compassion for others How to lead others to a life of victory Join Jessie Penn-Lewis on a journey to discover the cost of discipleship, as well as the joy that comes with leading others to Christ.
This classic resource from Eugene H. Peterson offers an indepth survey of the resurrection texts of the Gospels, helping churches to move from Easter into a transformative life as individuals and as a community.
The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.
The Deep Things of God (Second Edition) by Fred Sanders Pdf
The doctrine of the Trinity is taught and believed by all evangelicals, but rarely is it fully understood or celebrated. In The Deep Things of God, systematic theologian Fred Sanders shows why we ought to embrace the doctrine of the Trinity wholeheartedly as a central concern of evangelical theology. Sanders demonstrates, engagingly and accessibly, that the doctrine of the Trinity is grounded in the gospel itself. In this book, readers will understand that a robust doctrine of the Trinity has massive implications for their lives, restoring depth to prayer, worship, Bible study, missions, tradition, and understanding of Christianity’s fundamental doctrines. This new edition includes a study guide with discussion questions, action points, recommended reading, and more.
The Power of the Resurrection by Francis Innocent Otobo Pdf
The Resurrection of Jesus is one of the central beliefs of the Christian faith. This belief and teaching cut across all the Christian denominations. Hence, Paul teaches that if Christ had not risen from the dead, then we would have been the most foolish of all religious groups. But the fact that He, Christ, died and came back to life gives us the opportunity to glory in the resurrected Christ. The book, The Power of the Resurrection, is centered on the resurrection of Jesus, and the meaning that this resurrection has for us as individual Christians, who believe in the risen Lord. It is not a theological work aimed at defining the resurrection, nor is it a historical work aimed at tracing or verifying the veracity the resurrection. No. It is rather a faith lifting book on the basis of the resurrection story as we have it in the Christian bible. Just as Jesus rose from the dead in the midst of all the opposing tides, so shall those who trust in him rise above all opposing tides in their life. Jesus could not be stopped, so also by the grace of Him who rose from the dead; nothing is going to stop your upliftment and manifestation also. The resurrection shall be your experience in your daily life and at the end of time, he who raised Jesus from the dead shall give life to your own mortal body too. This is the argument of the book. Jesus, the son of God, came into the world for the love of humanity. His teachings were misunderstood, and so through the journey to Calvary, he was crucified and died on the cross on Calvary. Yes he died. The chief priests and the scribes and the Pharisees, in conjunction with Pilate, conspired against him. He was sentenced to death. He accepted the death willingly and lovingly. He died that we might be saved. Hence, his death brought salvation to the world. However, before he died, he promised the resurrection. He did not hide the fact of the resurrection. Openly he said, the son of man shall be delivered into the hand of sinners, he shall be put to death, but on the third day, he will rise again. In another place, he said, destroy this temple, and in three days, I shall raise it up, and there was misunderstanding again. The people thought he was referring to the physical temple, but from scripture, we know he was referring to his body rising from the dead. Thus he did spoke about the resurrection quite clearly. This is where this book hinges its weight. Because he promised the resurrection, after the execution, the chief priests and the soldiers, knowing what he was capable of doing, asked the permission of Pilate for the grave to be guarded till the third day. This is because he said on the third day, "I will rise again". They knew that it could happen. They said: this man who gave sight to the blind, who raised the dead (Lazarus and also Jairus' Daughter), who cleansed lepers, who casts out devils; this same man said on the third day I will rise again. And they concluded: if he should "rise again" from the dead, then it will be worse for us. Hence, they received the permission to guard the grave, to prevent any rising from the dead. Humanly speaking therefore, the resurrection would not have been possible. This is because they did everything to prevent it. They put a very big stone to wedge the entrance, hence no coming out and no going in. More so, they stayed on guard with weapons to prevent any fraudulent act. They were prepared to kill again even if he should try to come out of the grave; that is, if he was able to overcome the wedging stone. Therefore, from the human point of view, it was impossible. By their calculation, they have overcome, they have conquered, and they have become victorious. But one thing they failed to understand was the statement of the Angel, which Jesus himself repeated to the apostles; that for men, it may be impossible, but not for God, because, for God, there is no impossibility. And so when the appo

New Life in the Risen Christ by Jonathan A. Powers Pdf
Baptism is a foundational rite and sacrament of the church. Over the centuries, the significance of baptism for Christian life and faith has been confirmed by the church, but baptism remains a highly controversial topic. Numerous disagreements exist between denominations and faith traditions--including the various descendants of the original Methodist movement--over the doctrine and practice of baptism. Who can be baptized? Why is baptism done? What does the rite mean? New Life in the Risen Christ: A Wesleyan Theology of Baptism seeks to address confusion over baptism and offer a coherent treatment of the sacrament from a Wesleyan theological perspective. Distinguished scholars from around the world are brought together in this volume to examine the writings of John Wesley and offer scholarly reflections on topics related to the sacrament of baptism. Their work is an invitation to remember and be thankful for baptism as the sign of divine grace that initiates Christians into a new reality: life in the risen Christ.
2021 Reprint of the 1958 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. A prolific writer of spiritual books, Caryll Houselander (1901-1954) wrote this title during her years of poor health. In The Risen Christ she focuses on Jesus' Resurrection and the joy that is the mark of every Christian life. She brings to life the forty days of our Lord after the Resurrection. Written while she herself was dying of cancer, it offers supreme comfort to those facing the trials and challenges of human life. The Risen Christ, very beautifully and with Houselander's characteristic simplicity and poetry, suggests how we are to reflect in our own life the risen life of Christ. When she is reminding us that not only must the wise man suffer the fool gladly but also the fool must suffer the wise man gladly; when she is reflecting on the mystery, on the wonder and joy of the mystery, that we who are members of Christ's body are so; when, in the chapter 'The Crown of Thorns', she meditates more especially on the aspect of prayer as the raising of the mind to God, always she keeps before us as the main motive of the book, our responsibility to prove to those who are unaware of it, to prove it by our own life, that Christ has risen from the dead and lives still, in his physical body in heaven, in his mystical body, in you and me, on earth. It is not a large book but it contains a wealth of statements of the deepest truth set out in a way that shows their relevance to us today.
