A Popular Survey of the New Testament Audiobook

Understanding the New Testament is a daunting but exciting task. Our world is so different from that of the first century. Yet it is important to understand the context and content of the New Testament if we are to be faithful followers. Now, this survey addresses the who, what, where, when, why, and how questions that readers of the Bible may have, such as: How can we tell if what is written in the New Testament is true history or just mythology? When were these books written and why? and What can today's believers get out of letters addressed to people who lived two millennia ago? Written in an easy, informal style, this survey is accessible and enjoyable to anyone who wants to better understand the New Testament.

[Portuguese] - Mães da Aliança: Orando Pelos Filhos com Base nas Promessas de Deus

Mães de joelhos, filhos de pé! Nos dias de hoje, em que nossos filhos são cada vez mais alvo das influências do mundo e das investidas do maligno, precisamos levantar um exército de mulheres para orar pelas novas gerações. A garantia da resposta e do livramento de Deus está nas promessas que ele mesmo fez. O ensino bíblico da aliança da graça é uma grande motivação para manter os pais de joelhos no chão em favor dos filhos. A bênção do Senhor é para os pais, para os filhos e para as gerações que ainda virão. E, se você é uma mãe crente, é também uma mãe da aliança. Seu papel é pregar o evangelho e orar pela conversão e santificação de seus filhos. São também filhos da aliança e herdeiros das promessas do Senhor. E o Senhor da aliança fará o resto! Lute em oração pelo bem espiritual de sua casa. Creia na promessa de Deus de que ele 'guarda a aliança e a misericórdia até mil gerações aos que o amam e cumprem os seus mandamentos' (Dt 7.9). Mães da aliança é o devocional que lhe faltava para revisitar as promessas de Deus, com fé e esperança, em um ano de oração em favor das próximas gerações.

Who Needs Christmas/Why Easter Matters: Audio Bible Studies

Who Needs Christmas: The details of the Christmas story are amazing . . . and can seem a bit unbelievable. There is the angelic announcement to Mary that she will give birth to the Messiah. The dream from God that convinces Joseph to take Jesus as his own son. The angelic host who announces Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The madness of a king who tried to put an end to Jesus' life. The narrative of Jesus' birth is miraculous. But as pastor Andy Stanley explores in this four-session video study (study guide sold separately), when you look at all the events in the Old Testament leading up to this point in time, the unbelievable story of Christmas becomes quite remarkable. It was only 'when the set time had fully come' that God sent Jesus into the world 'that we might receive adoption to sonship' (Galatians 4:4-5). God sent Jesus to do what laws and regulations, judges and prophets, and exile and punishment could not accomplish. He sent Jesus not merely to deliver us from the penalty and consequences of our sin, but to actually break the power of the enemy and free us from our slavery to sin. Through Christmas, we are reminded that even when it seems God is silent, he is always working. God sent Jesus not simply to be the Savior of the world but to be the Savior in our world. Through Christmas, we are reminded that God always keeps his promises to us. Sessions include: - The Story Behind the Story (20:00) - The Author of Life (18:00) - The Message of Christmas (23:00) - Ready or Not . . . He Is Coming (18:00) Why Easter Matters: As believers in Christ, we all would like to say that we trust in God. We would all like to claim that we believe God has our best interests in mind and that obedience to him is the best pathway to finding joy, peace, and fulfillment in life. But the truth is that we often find ourselves actively resisting the very God in whom we say we trust. This was true of people even back in the days of first-century Israel when Jesus walked the earth. In this four-session study (study guide sold separately), pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as: Joseph Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, the two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, and the disciples and other followers of Jesus, who found their world turned upside down when the one they believed to be the Messiah was first put to death . . . and then rose again. Sessions include: - The High Cost of Following Christ (21:00) - The Risk of Surrendering to God (24:30) - The God Who Can Be Trusted (20:00) - The Foundation of Our Faith (23:00) Coordinating study guide available separately.

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails: Audio Bible Studies: Love is Born, Hope is Here

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails is a collection of two audio Bible studies for Christmas and Easter by Max Lucado. Because of Bethlehem Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it's like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we know he doesn't say, 'Clean up before you come in.' He offers, 'Come in and I'll clean you up.' Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record... just grace. In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will help you: - Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. - Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope. - Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done. - Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you. He Chose the Nails The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more. In this Easter season study, Max will help you: - Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. - Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. - Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him. - Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.

Loving Samaritans: Radical Kindness in an Us vs. Them World

You can live a radically inclusive life without compromising your beliefs or the truth of the gospel. Humanity is more divided now than ever, gridlocked over social issues, race, gender, climate change, immigration, and our responsibility to vulnerable people. How did we get here? And what can we do to build bridges where walls exist? As a pastor committed to building deep relationships with people whose life experiences are different than his own, Terry Crist knows the beauty and challenge of connecting across dividing lines of race, economic status, faith, and much more. And in this book, he shares how you can too. Profoundly weaving the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well with his own stories and examples from culture today, Terry addresses how we've strayed from the unity God intended and how we can trade judgment for grace, disputes for harmony, apathy for empathy, and hate for love and acceptance. By the end of this book, you will be able to: - Identify how you personally see the world and why it matters - Recognize those on the margins who are right around you - Imitate Jesus's love for all humanity in the interactions you have with others - Extend dignity to those suffering from mental illness, homelessness, and addiction - Maintain thriving relationships when family members are on opposing sides of issues - Be an ambassador of reconciliation in your community It doesn't have to be one or the other--you can both love God and love your neighbor.

The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate

In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty propositions supporting a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. Ideal for students, professors, pastors, and lay listeners with an interest in the intelligent design controversy and creation-evolution debates, Walton's thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins. The books in the Lost World series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close interpretation of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand, using a series of logic-based propositions.
