Book Description
You don't have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples, whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Join bestselling author John MacArthur in Twelve Ordinary Men as he draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original disciples for today's modern disciple, you! Jesus chose ordinary men--fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots--and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable. The twelve disciples weren't the stained-glass saints we imagine. On the contrary, they were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. MacArthur takes you into the inner circle of the disciples--their selection, their training, their personalities, and their incredible impact. As MacArthur took a closer look at the lives of the twelve disciples, he found himself asking difficult questions along the way, including: Why did Jesus pick each of the twelve disciples? How did Jesus teach them everything he could in just eighteen short months? Can the lessons that Jesus taught the disciples can still influence our faith today? In Twelve Ordinary Men, you'll learn that disciples are living proof that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As you get to know the men who walked with Jesus, you'll see that if he can accomplish his purposes through them, he can do the same through you.

Messiah's Miracles
Author: Milton Goh
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
I have prayed for others and seen instant healing miracles and received supernatural words of knowledge about them. I have also received miracles through prayer and others praying for me. I believe in a living God who has shown me through personal experience that He is real. The Bible clearly reveals God's will for every believer to walk in the miraculous. If you're tired of a Christian walk that has no evidence of God's manifested power, all it takes is to replace some wrong beliefs so that unbelief can be cast out. This is what I believe the Holy Spirit wants to do through this book "Messiah's Miracles-The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ".Under the New Covenant of Grace, every blessing is received by faith. If you have been trying to earn your miracles by showing your devotion to God by your works, it's no wonder you don't see any miracles. Faith comes by hearing about Jesus and this book is all about Jesus and designed to impart faith to the reader. During Jesus' ministry on earth, He didn't work any miracles by His own authority as God. He relied completely on faith in His Father and the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit purposefully chose 37 of Jesus' miracles to be recorded in the four gospels. This is no coincidence. Each miracle reveals something powerful about our Lord Jesus.I believe that as you read about the 37 miracles of Jesus in the four gospels, faith will arise in your heart to receive miracles in your own life. As you behold Jesus in His love, goodness and grace, you will see transformation in yourself and in your circumstances. No self-help book can do that. Only the preached Gospel has God's power to save in all ways. As you set aside time to read about Jesus in all His majesty and beauty, I'm trusting that God will honor your faith and command a chain of long-awaited breakthroughs in your life.

David's Son and David's Lord
Author: Ryan M. McGraw
Publisher: Ep
ISBN: 9781783972609
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The Introduction to this book includes these words: "One of the greatest needs of the church in every age is to contemplate, know, and love the glory of Christ in order to promote the spread of the gospel and the holiness of God's people. Yet this all-encompassing vision of Jesus Christ in Christian faith and life is not always common and it is often missing today." One book cannot be expected to meet all the needs of the church in the vital area of Christology, but these essays (originally given at the 2018 Spring Theology Conference at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary) provide pastors and church members with the key ideas surrounding the person of Christ. This is no isolated academic exercise. The editors rightly say: As the Puritan Isaac Ambrose (1604-1664) wrote, "The most excellent subject to discourse or write of, is Jesus Christ ... Indeed all we say is but unsavory, if it be not seasoned with this salt." Jesus Christ is also the most excellent subject to read and to prayerfully savor and meditate on. Doing so is the true path to the blessedness of the world to come and of joy and personal holiness in this life. Every glimpse we have of Christ on earth brings heaven down to us so that we might long to appear in heaven where Christ is seated. Prayerfully reading these chapters will enrich your mind and provide many glimpses of Christ that will increase your longing for him. The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals and Evangelical Press are pleased to be in partnership in bringing this vital book to the widest possible audience.

Mark
Author: R. C. Sproul
Publisher: Crossway Books
ISBN: 9781567692655
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
Mark, the fifth volume in the series, is a study of the gospel of Mark, which is generally regarded as the first account of Jesus' life and work that was written. There is broad agreement that it was written by John Mark, one of the apostle Paul's companions and missionary helpers. The book puts particular focus on Jesus as the Son of God. It is thought that the book was written to encourage the believers in Rome during the times of the Emperor Nero's persecutions. The book includes sixty-two chapters, each of which began as a St. Andrew's sermon. Dr. Sproul deals with major themes as he moves through the book passage by passage. Though the book is an "expositional commentary"-that is, it does not deal with each and every verse-it unpacks key ideas in Dr. Sproul's easily understandable style. Readers will find invaluable insights into the goals Mark had in writing his gospel, the background for Jesus' time, and the meanings of some of Mark's most difficult passages.
