Download or read book Christ s New Address written by Bruce L. Taylor and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ's New Address completes a six-volume series of sermons by Bruce Taylor based on the Common Lectionary (Revised). Together, they provide a theologically rich, sacramentally reflective, ecumenically compatible, and biblically centered collection of proclamations for Sundays and major feast days. An appendix to this volume offers a sermon preached as a departure from the lectionary following the tornado that devastated Norman, Oklahoma, when the author was serving as a pastor in Ponca City. His sermons bear strong evidence of his commitment to Christian unity and dedication to the church's heritage as well as his conviction of its contemporary relevance through corporate witness and individual discipleship. Included in this compilation for the second half of the church year, featuring Gospel readings from Luke, are several story sermons that illustrate the use of this form of preaching within the lectionary framework. Christ's New Address is offered for use by preachers and devotional readers alike, who will find it an engaging invitation to the beauty of sacramental worship and the comfort and challenge of the scripture passages that are commended for Christian worship in the lectionary cycle.

Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bedford, 2045. Reasoning and vision are unbounded. If Christ is infinite, he must be who he says he is. Had the Pharisees (freemasons of that era) understood the exceptional, extraterrestrial, divine, and immortal Y chromosome, they mightnt have lynched Christ. Some anti-Christ, closeted, racist freemason judges seem stupider than the Pharisees! There is no sin except stupidity (Oscar Wilde). I emphasis the point (Judge Paulo Hayers, a seemingly white supremacist judge; alleged hereditary Romanian with a camouflage name, which his ancestors who used to latch on to the gigantic trust fund that yielded evil terrorism and millions of stolen and destroyed lives). The OECD study also found that a quarter of adults in England have the math skills of a ten-year-old. About 8.5 million adults, 24.1 percent of the population, have such basic levels of numeracy that they can manage only one-step tasks in arithmetic, sorting numbers, or reading graphs. This is worse than the average in the developed world, where an average of 19 percent of people were found to have a similarly poor skill base. Shepherds know sheep are morons; sheep dont know shepherds are morons too. The best opportunity of developing academically and emotionally. Judge Paulo Hayers approved a fools approval! He approved what a closeted racist, plebeian mummy would speak. He rides a tiger. Dismounted, what? His brain yields only mediocrity; his land yields only food. Functional semi-illiterate judges are more likely to be racists. Sir, he was dull in company, dull in his closet, dull everywhere. He was dull in a new way, and that made many people think him great (Dr Samuel Johnson). He is a closeted racist and terrorist judge. He is the ultrarighteous descendant of thievesthe stealer, carrier, and seller of millions of Africans, including millions of kidnapped children and Habakkuk. In Bedford, Professor Richard Boris Hill fabricated reports and unrelentingly lied under oath. It is a criminally dishonest, mediocre, and nakedly racist legal system.

Download or read book Christ is God Over All written by George Carraway and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written against the background of Christological scholarly thought since thepublication of Kyrios Christos by Bousset. Carraway argues that the syntax of Romans 9:5 suggests Paul meant to refer to Jesus as God, and that his statement is not out of place at thebeginning of Romans 9-11.He addresses objections to this conclusion, responding to those who claim that a monotheist such as Paul would not refer to Jesus as God, and to those who point out that Paul does not elsewhere identify Jesus as God. After demonstrating that there is a connection between Romans 9:5 and the remainder of Romans 9-11, the argument continues by tying Paul's monotheistic statements regarding the one God of both Jews and Gentiles in Romans 3, the concept of the one Lord of all in Romans 10:5-13.The book concludes that the redeemer from Zion in 11:25-27 is Christ, and is the same as the Christ from Israel in 9:5.
