Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture tells the story of magi who followed a star in the sky—a light in the midst of the darkness—to find the Messiah. In the gifts that they placed at the feet of the Christ—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—they recognized the intermingling of light and darkness, truth and falsehood, life and death. But more than what the magi gave the child, Three Gifts, One Christ is about what Jesus offers us. Using passages from Matthew and Hebrews, Katie Z. Dawson explores three of Christ’s roles—Jesus comes as the high priest who sacrifices himself for us, the prophet who calls us into the Kingdom and shows us a better way to live, and the Messiah who triumphs over evil and sets us free.

Download or read book The Light Giver written by Dale A. Fife and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Dale Fife, author of The Secret Place, takes readers on a visionary journey into the inner sanctum of God’s presence to experience the mysteries and revelation that Dr. Fife has found through intimate communion with the Father. Moses encountered the light and fire of the burning bush. On their way to the Promised Land, the Israelites followed a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. The priests of God ministered in the temple with the flame of a lampstand as their only source of light. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). God wants all believers to walk in that same light of supernatural revelation. He wants you to transcend human limitations and access the divine realm. Open your spirit to receive fresh illumination, for you are about to have an intimate encounter with The Light Giver.
Download or read book ABIDE in the LIGHT written by Bob Benoit and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle John in 1 John 2:10 wrote, "He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him." What exactly does it mean to "abide" in the light or abide "in the light?" What's the opposite of abiding in the light? Scripture explains Scripture. So each lesson herein is a paragraph or two of scripture, in context, sorted by theme, where two or more of the words " abide in", "come to", and/or "the light" (and their various synonyms) appear in the same paragraph; followed by four questions. Each Scripture is in context, but it is best if you also read what surrounds these verses. The following is a condensed summary of the Scriptures included in this Bible study on abiding in the Light. Jesus is the Light. He is the true Light which gives light to every man. He is the light of the nations. He alone dwells in unapproachable light. He is the Good News who gives light to the knowledge of God. In Him there is no darkness. His words give light. His countenance is light. He brings to light the hidden things of darkness. His light dawns in the darkness and it shines in the darkness. Jesus came as a light into the world. He is a light for the Gentiles. He brings salvation to those who rebel against the light. He brings light to those who do not know the light; so that they may turn from darkness to light. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. His light is sown for the righteous. The Word is a light to our feet. He who does the truth comes to the light, and walks just as He walked. He who loves his brother abides in the light; his eyes are good and his whole body is full of light. He trusts in Yahweh. He rejoices in His light. The following are some other Bible studies similar to "ABIDE in the LIGHT" which are all part of the IN HIM series: abide IN HIM... and HIM IN us... and bear fruit... for without HIM nothing is possible... and with HIM nothing is impossible.

Download or read book All Who WALK in the LIGHT of LIFE written by Bob Benoit and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a continuation of "COME to the LIGHT." Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." What exactly did Jesus mean when He said those who follow Him will have the Light of life? What does it mean to "walk" in the Light? And how do we walk "in the Light?" Jesus is the light, He is the life, and He is the Light of life. He is the Word, the Word is a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path. His presence is light. The light shows us the way we should go. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. When we walk in the light, we cannot bear to fellowship with darkness. Jesus said when we believe in the light, we become sons of light, children of light. We walk in the light; and he who remains in the light has no cause for stumbling in him. Scripture explains Scripture. So each lesson herein is a paragraph or two of scripture, in context, sorted by theme, where two or more of the words "walk, light, and/or in the Lord" (and their various synonyms) appear in the same paragraph; followed by four questions. Each Scripture is in context, but it's best if you also read what surrounds these verses. We suggest you start by reading the Gospel message under the heading, Start Here. We cannot walk in the light of life without knowing Jesus and responding to the Good News. Also included herein is Appendix A - Small Group Facilitation Guide with step-by-step instructions to help homegroup and bible study leaders host interactive meetings. Plus Appendix B - Sample Answers is an example of how one might answer the questions, particularly the first time. The follow up to this study is called, "ABIDE in the WORD and Him in you." Jesus said, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" That's a pretty amazing outcome, but what's our part? How do we "abide" in Him? More specifically, how do we abide "in Him?" And again, how do His "words abide in us?" For all you songwriters interested in worship song content, consider the songwriter version of this booklet, "All who WALK in the LIGHT of LIFE (Songwriters' Series)." The scriptures are the same ones that are in this book, but are followed by different questions and some helpful hints to inspire the writing of upwardly focused worship songs. "All who WALK in the LIGHT of LIFE (Teachers Series)" is available for pastors and teachers who create their own inspirational, comprehensive, theme-based, bible sermon series. The Scriptures are the same, but with different research suggestions for sermon preparation. The questions guide students and teacher to focus in on verb phrases (actions) that are in the Truth, use Scripture to explain Scripture, encourage everyone to KNOW God better and be doers of the Word. So that the Word of God will correct, reproof, train and equip believers to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Thank you studying walking in the light of life!
Download or read book The Evangelical Universalist written by Gregory MacDonald and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can an orthodox Christian, committed to the historic faith of the Church and the authority of the Bible, be a universalist? Is it possible to believe that salvation is found only by grace, through faith in Christ, and yet to maintain that in the end all people will be saved? Can one believe passionately in mission if one does not think that anyone will be lost forever? Could universalism be consistent with the teachings of the Bible? In The Evangelical Universalist the author argues that the answer is ‘yes!’ to all of these questions. Weaving together philosophical, theological, and biblical considerations, he seeks to show that being a committed universalist is consistent with the central teachings of the biblical texts and of historic Christian theology.

Download or read book The Uncertain Center written by Arthur C. McGill and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur McGill did not write very much, but what he did write is as theologically suggestive and startling today as it was when it was written in the 1960s and 1970s. He was not well known during his lifetime, but those who cared about the work of theology knew Arthur McGill. Writing during the ascendency of the "Death of God" theologies, McGill's words have a freshness that the more widely known theological writing of that time has lost. McGill wrote only two short books during his life, and just a handful of scattered essays, often published in obscure places. We are fortunate that Kent Dunnington has collected and introduced those essays here. The essays reveal a theologian with an uncanny and intrepid resolve to make theological claims illumine and unsettle our lives. As Stanley Hauerwas writes in his afterword to the collection, "To read McGill is to discover a way to do theology without fear. God knows from where he came, but McGill, as the chapters in this welcome and important book demonstrate, had the ability to make theology do work so that we might better negotiate the imponderable reality we call 'our life.'"
