Why the Bible Matters by Mike Erre Pdf

Mike Erre, the teaching pastor of a large, culturally relevant church in Southern California, offers intelligent answers to the questions emerging generations are asking about the Bible: How can the Scriptures be relevant to the post-Christian, postmodern world? Does objective truth even exist? With so many viewpoints, translations, and theologies out there, how can anyone today know what the Bible really means? Many 20- and 30-somethings are suspicious of the way the Bible has been used by some people in the Christian community. But on the other hand, they don't necessarily buy into modern revisionist criticisms either. This unique guide provides the middle ground, upholding the authority of the Bible in creative, engaging, and intellectually satisfying ways. It addresses the specific biblical questions, concerns, and issues that are so important to the under-40 crowd. Erre's contagious enthusiasm and deep respect for the Scriptures match his first-rate scholarship.

Scripture Matters by Scott Hahn Pdf

Aptly titled Scripture Matters: Essays on Reading the Bible from the Heart of the Church, Dr. Hahn takes a penetrating look into the depths of Scripture, showing the reader how to uncover its many layers of meaning and inspiration.

A House Without Walls: How Christ Unites His Ethnically Divided Church by Dan Crabtree Pdf

In light of the heart-breaking ethnic division rending America today, A House Without Walls seeks to foster multi-ethnic harmony in evangelical congregations by bringing Biblical clarity to current racial and ethnic conversations. It uses Scripture to answer some pressing questions of our day like, “Are all people inherently racist?” “Does the gospel include racial justice?” “Does the Bible advocate for white repentance?” A House Without Walls attempts to realign discussions about race under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, focusing on Biblical understanding and applications. It also includes extra-Biblical research explaining the language and logic of current conversations about race, within an aim towards confidence in engaging the prevalent cultural discourse on race. The hopeful outcome of this work is listing unity among believers from diverse ethnic groups facilitated by this Scriptural study.

Bible Matters by Tim Chester Pdf

The Bible is God's Word. The Bible teaches us how we should live. The Bible is something we should read every day. The Bible is something we should enjoy reading. Most of us agree with these statements. At least in theory. But what's our reality? Sometimes reading the Bible is a delight. But if we’re honest, many times reading the Bible feels like hard work and we read out of a sense of obligation. Some of us have given up entirely. Tim Chester reminds us that every time we read the Bible we hear the voice of God. The One who spoke and brought the universe into existence, whose voice thundered from Mount Sinai, and whose words healed the sick is who speaks to us today. So as we read the Bible we don’t merely learn information about God—we hear his voice and encounter his presence. Including a study guide for group use, this book helps us approach reading the Bible with an eager anticipation, expecting to hear God’s voice and meet him in his Word.

Core Christianity by Michael Horton Pdf

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Person of Interest by J. Warner Wallace Pdf

Join a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus using the same approach he employs to solve real murder cases. Detective J. Warner Wallace was skeptical of the Bible's claims about Jesus. But he'd investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body. He wondered if the truth about the historical Jesus could be investigated in the same way. In Person of Interest, cold-case detective and bestselling author J. Warner Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity as he carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone, without relying on the New Testament. In this book, you'll: Understand like never before how Jesus—the most significant person in history—changed the world and why he still matters today. Learn how to think like a cold-case detective by using an innovative and unique "fuse and fallout" investigative strategy, which you can also use to examine other claims of history. Explore and learn how to respond to common objections to Christianity. Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament gospel accounts.

Ordinary Radicals (SECOND EDITION): A Return to Christ-Centered Discipleship by Jonathan Hayashi Pdf

How do we live out the gospel in our lives? What we believe about the gospel determines how we will follow the Great Commission and make disciples. This second edition of Ordinary Radicals, Pastor Hayashi lays bare the roots of the gospel, reinforcing the command and privilege of the Great Commission while bringing thought-provoking questions to reinforce how each chapter can be applicable to every individual and group. Church leadership must be focused on discipleship. If you have a leadership problem, you have a discipleship problem, and if you have a discipleship problem, you have a Great Commission problem. Why bother with discipleship? Because the cost of non-discipleship is too great! Living with radical abandonment for God's glory, faithful adherence to His person, and urgent obedience to His ministry is the only way to live a successful, fruitful Christian life. This book offers a step-by-step process for living out the Great Commission to revolutionize the world through the local church.
