Book Description
IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS FIXEDDo covenants really matter? First answer this: Have you felt exhausted trying to please God? Unable to overcome habitual sin? Constantly measuring your failures and judging yourself? If so, chances are good that you are striving under the wrong covenant. Law is a covenant of works, so if you're living with an Old Covenant mindset, you will exhaust yourself.Jesus said, "Be born again." What does it mean to be reborn under a new covenant? Is the new thing simply an upgraded version of the old, or something far more radical? In the next surge of history, the Holy Spirit is fueling a deep desire for "the summing up of all things in Christ" (Eph. 1:10). So do you live in Christ, Adam, or Moses?OVER 58 SESSIONS (9+ HOURS) OF SHORT VIDEO SESSIONS, YOU WILL: - Learn the difference between false knowledge and true, and why the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden brought death to humanity - Recognize the danger of making all covenants synonymous, why God initiated more than one covenant, the "terms" of new vs. old, and the problem of being a believer who doesn't really believe - See the critical difference between covenants of Performance vs. Grace, along with the progression from Adam to Abraham to Moses to Christ - Glimpse the primary symbolism of the tabernacle's design and how it reveals the construction of our own life in God - Finally understand the relationship between sin, the curse, and the law (it's different than you think!) - Comprehend the origins of holiness, the problem of "carrots and sticks," and the pathway to a clean conscience - Discover what repentance is and isn't, and the dynamic connection between radical grace and radical discipleship - Be moved by the Father's heart for you, the sanctifying virtue of identification with Christ and the means He provided for us to be united to Him in His death and resurrectionWhile these Study Notes are available as a free digital download when you purchase the course, some will prefer to work from a printed version. If so, this is for you! Also look for the Companion Booklet for a powerful, brief overview of core covenantal concepts.__________________"The Total Superiority of the New Covenant" is the first in a series of five "Apostolic Foundation Video Courses" by author and Bible teacher, Dean Briggs.

The Glory Now Revealed
Author: Andrew M. Davis
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493430270
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

Sex and the Supremacy of Christ
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433517906
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all-men and women, married and single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.

Irresistible
Author: Andy Stanley
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310536995
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.
