Download or read book Determined Women s Bible Study Participant Workbook written by Heather M. Dixon and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 237 pages. 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!

Download or read book The Book of Deuteronomy Chapters 1 11 written by Bill T. Arnold and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The book of Deuteronomy can rightly be called a compendium of the most important ideas of the Old Testament.” So begins this commentary on the book of Deuteronomy, which Bill Arnold treats as the heart of the Torah and the fulcrum of the Old Testament—crystallizing the themes of the first four books of the Bible and establishing the theological foundation of the books that follow. After a thorough introduction that explores these and other matters, Arnold provides an original translation of the first eleven chapters of Deuteronomy along with verse-by-verse commentary (with the translation and commentary of the remaining chapters following in a second volume). As with the other entries in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, Arnold remains rooted in the book’s historical context while focusing on its meaning and use as Christian Scripture today. Ideal for pastors, students, scholars, and interested laypersons, this commentary is an authoritative yet accessible companion to the book of Deuteronomy.

Download or read book SOLID FOOD FOR JOURNEY EGYPT TO CANAAN HOW TO REJOIN THE NARROW PATH TO ETERNAL LIFE MAKE IT TO THE END written by Elizabeth Gata-Viki and published by ELIZABETH GATA-VIKI. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is so much confusion and deception in the Church today. Just switch on the telly and you will see that Satan has largely succeeded in making a complete circus of the Church. There are so many false gospels, false doctrines, false teachers and false Christians. Even the true Bride has lost its way. Many are truly born again and trying hard to hold on, but they cannot understand why the Holy Spirit has been largely aloof in their lives, even for years. God knows those who are His, the true Bride, the good fish in the dragnet, the wheat, and this book is for them. This book is written for the beleaguered Bride to provide clear direction for her to find her way out of deception and back onto the narrow path that leads to Life. It is, in essence, an extended analogy which follows the trajectory of the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, to unpack what experiences a Christian should expect as they progress on their own journey to eternal life. This is that journey which can only be made on the narrow path to life which Jesus spoke of, and of which He solemnly warned that few Christians would find. The book projects the Christian life as the protracted journey that it is, not a single life-changing incident somewhere in one’s past. Focusing on areas of deep confusion and deception in the Church, it takes a candid and profound, but practical look at those doctrines which are so fundamental to the Christian life, and which form practical landmark pillars along that journey - salvation, justification, the new birth, sanctification, perfection and glorification. It is the passionate will of Jesus Christ, through this book, to bring to His besieged true Bride, truth and clarity of understanding of these areas, so that she may regain the narrow road and begin to steadily move forward towards the goal of the crown of salvation, that coveted prize of the Christian journey, which the Apostle Paul diligently laboured for, spoke so passionately of and finally attained himself, as we all should and can. This first part of the book takes a very close look at exactly how God works in His children profoundly to transform them and get them into heaven. Laying out very clearly what God’s expectations of us are, it also looks at our part in this work that He does, both in us and through us, with a focus on how to practically overcome our flesh, our first enemy. Mark 6:34 "And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things."
