Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will explore the biblical image of grace (and sin). Grace as a theological construct can be interpreted in a variety of ways among different Christian bodies. For some, for example, it might take on the extreme of "being able to sin boldly so that grace may abound." For others, the only knowledge of grace is how to fall from it. Within these extremes, lies the biblical understanding(s) of what grace is, how God mediates grace to humankind, and how persons embody that grace in their attitudes and behaviors to others.

Download or read book The Basics of Christianity written by Robert Kelsey and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book And now for the rest of the story. The Basics of Christianity remedies the fact that most Sunday morning sermons fall far short of telling the whole story for the simple fact that most of the tellers don’t know the whole story. If one has a desire to be a Serious Minded Christian, it is important to hear the whole story, and how one is to apply this information to one’s life. About the Author Robert Kelsey is a retired pipeline, oilfield welder and inspector. He has always had an interest in reading the Bible but couldn’t make much sense of it until he was given a modern English language Bible where he found out that it is basically a copy of a contract, covenant, or testament between God and man. Paul Harvey told Robert one day that if he would spend fifteen minutes a day studying any given subject, he would be an expert in that area in two years. Robert increased the time and set out to spend at least two hours studying the Bible every day and had done so for more than ten years to date. The two most important revelations he has received are the fact that God poured out His Spirit on men, to make His words know to us (Proverbs 1:23), and it is to our advantage to have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him working in our lives (Proverbs 1:17–20). Jesus has given to us the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and it is what we choose to do with those keys that opens our understanding to what the Bible is saying to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GROUP PARTICIPANT WORKBOOK - Imagine waking up every single day convinced that the twenty-four hours ahead of you are a precious gift to be used wisely. Now imagine that you know exactly how to spend them to be a force for God’s good. All too often we wander through life without appreciating the gift of every moment we’ve been given. The result? An unsatisfying life, missed opportunities to experience the joy of being in sync with God, and days marked with apathy instead of passion. Our time on earth is measured. We should want to make every moment count—not only because we aren’t guaranteed the next one, but also because this is exactly how our Savior spent His time here. How, then, do we walk out unwavering joy-filled faith every day, determined to let go of the things that keep us from experiencing abundant life and fulfilling the plans God has for us? The answers are found in following the footsteps of the One who lived fully, because He was determined that we might do the same. In this six-week study of Luke, we will follow the life and ministry of Jesus as we consider the choices He made on His way to the cross. We’ll intimately connect with a Savior who remained laser-focused on His mission to love the world. In return, we’ll receive a model for intentional living that we can replicate to ensure we are living each day to the fullest and making a difference for God’s kingdom. And together we’ll determine to embrace the abundant life we are promised in Jesus. It’s time to stop wandering and start living!
