This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promise has a long pedigree in the history of Christian understandings of the gospel. This volume gathers together leading homileticians to consider the breadth of its understanding today in light of the struggle to reconcile God’s grace with God’s justice. Assuming that promise is a core sense of the gospel, how does this relate to the variety of contexts in which homiletical theology is done? In this final volume in the series, six homileticians from a variety of contexts and perspectives try to move specifically toward a homiletical theology of promise as a way to articulate the central theological gift and task that is preaching the gospel today.
Download or read book 10 Gospel Promises for Later Life written by Jane Marie Thibault and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there any good news in the "Good News" for older adults? We're living longer. In fact, people 85 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. Life expectancy is increasing in all developed countries in the world. With the gift of longer life, though, comes pain. The worst physical ailments and frailties may seem inconsequential when compared to the feelings of emotional and spiritual abandonment that many elders report today: "I can't relate to Jesus' message any longer. The gospel calls for action. I can't do what Christ wants me to do, and I feel guilty." "The Old Testament comforts me more than the New Testament. These writings relate to my situation more since I'm old, flat on my back, and utterly dependent on others." "The church has no place for old people." "I feel that I have outgrown Jesus —he's for beginners in the spiritual life." Out of Thibault's reflection on the relevance of the gospel to later life comes hope. "While secular society offers long-term care insurance, Jesus offers the promise of abundant life in the here and now as well in heaven," Thibault says. Each chapter of 10 Gospel Promises for Later Life addresses a fear about aging and faith and gives an example of its negative effect on a person's daily life. Next you'll find a response, the promise of the gospel, the assurance of God's constant love that offers hope in all circumstances. Identify your own fears (or the fears of a loved one) about aging, and learn from Thibault's sensitive study how to make the most of God's gift of longer life. Questions for personal reflection or group discussion are included at the end of each chapter, making it an ideal book for individuals or classes.

Download or read book When Faith Embraced the Promise Standing on His Promises written by Monica Benjamin and published by Primedia Elaunch LLC. This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of writing about all my hurts, pains, disappointments, betrayals, rejections, and failures, this book is about how Yahovah created a safe place for me in heaven and how He found me faithful to watch over it here on earth. "Daughter", He called, Me "Yes Lord", He revealed, "I created Covenant Christian Bookstore in heaven, and I searched for a faithful servant to watch over it on earth and I choose you." Through tears and overwhelming awe, I replied, "I have one request." "Yes Daughter" "That we do it debt free." Yahovah said, "So be it". I arrived home safely and full of unspeakable joy. You can only imagine how Kevin handled my announcement after being out of work for 2 years and hearing that I was going to open a Christian Bookstore "Debt Free". During my Christian journey, I realized that the blessing has always been attached to obedience. The kingdom assignment can be incredibly challenging for those in your inner circle; nevertheless, keep your focus on the Most High, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Be determined to bring glory to the Kingdom no matter how insignificant those around you consider your work to be. In life, you must remember to remain humble about some things. You will not be held responsible for how people treat you, but you will be held accountable for how you treat others. Through this journey, I have realized that the people you "know" may not support you, but Yahovah is faithful, and He has a people. As you read When Faith Embraced the Promise, I want you to see how complete trust and obedience will position you to be used in a great way to share the gospel. As I have overcome obstacles, setbacks, and, in some cases, setups, I'm encouraged; they have only strengthened me for my next assignment.

Download or read book Take Hold of the Faith You Long For written by Sharon Jaynes and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the outside, many women are well-put-together Christians with trendy shoes, beautiful children, and wide, white smiles. On the inside, those same women are little girls cowering at the edge of the playground, hoping no one notices them, yet still wishing they could join in. They've professed faith and know the right things, but they struggle to truly take hold of the "life more abundant" that Jesus offers. Instead they settle for a life that's less than what God has promised them. In this liberating book, Sharon Jaynes reveals the most common reasons women get stuck with a mediocre, mundane faith. Then she shows women how to break free and move forward, leaving behind the feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity that are holding them hostage. She uncovers untapped sources of confidence and courage, equipping women to move from knowing the truth to actually believing it--and living it out boldly in a life marked by true freedom.
