Download or read book The Ascension of Christ written by Patrick Schreiner and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's essential to the Gospel, but we rarely talk about it. The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return--but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the Gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world.

Download or read book Untangling the Seven Desires of Your Heart Workbook written by Lavon Koerner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book cannot do what a small group of dedicated friends can do. In your life, a book can close your “knowledge gap,” but only a small group can close your “behavior gap”. A book can change your thinking, but it takes a small group filled with accountability relationships to change your living. God never intended that we should live in isolation. God says it this way, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.— Hebrews 10:24,25 The book details and lays out the way that love-gaps around the seven desires of your heart that can be closed. But getting it done is a bigger goal than what you can individually self-manage. And when it comes to “matters of the Heart,” the risk of being able to successfully apply truth to our everyday life is very high. Especially, since the Bible warns us that our hearts are deceitful.” And of course, satan will do all he can to destroy any progress we make. God, knowing this, purposely put us into the “body of Christ,” called the church, meaning “the called-out ones.” Our Christian growth will accelerate only when we admit that we need other people to hold us accountable, to encourage us forward and model the way. This humble acknowledgement is where we can begin acquiring “Speed of Sanctification.” The Bible says, “Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). It is only in a small group’s discussions and prayers where you can accurately define and come to know your own personal heart and you begin to understand how your heart is functioning in these three distinct ways: 1. Emotions - Your heart is the source of what you desire and feel. (Psalm 37:4-5) 2. Thoughts - Your heart influences every thought you think. (Matthew 9:4) 3. Behavior - Your heart guides every action you take. (Matthew 15:19) This twelve-week series of heart-workshops on the Untangling Seven Desires of your Heart will encompass some of the most revealing and penetrating discussions you will ever have. It will be a journey of adventure as you implement new ways of living a love-filled and abundant life. God be with you on your journey to emotional freedom!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on the heels of The Wings of Morning, the first book in Murray Pura’s Snapshots in History series, comes this compelling saga of the Civil War. In April 1861, Lyndel Keim discovers two runaway slaves in her family’s barn. When the men are captured and returned to their plantation, Lyndel and her young Amish beau, Nathaniel King, find themselves at odds with their pacifist Amish colony Nathaniel enlists in what will become the famous Iron Brigade of the Union Army. Lyndel enters the fray as a Brigade nurse on the battlefield, sticking close to Nathaniel as they both witness the horrors of war—including the battles at Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and Antietam. Despite the pair’s heroic sacrifices, the Amish only see that Lyndel and Nathaniel have become part of the war effort, and both are banished. And a severe battle wound at Gettysburg threatens Nathaniel’s life. Lyndel must call upon her faith in God to endure the savage conflict and to face its painful aftermath, not knowing if Nathaniel is alive or dead. Will the momentous battle change her life forever, just as it will change the course of the war and the history of her country? The Face of Heaven is a dramatic story that will release on the 150th anniversary of the historic battle of Antietam, September, 1862.
Download or read book Justice Pending written by Robert F. Richardson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revelation is a uniquely relevant book. It was written from a pastor’s heart for a pastoral purpose. John wrote to prepare the saints for the gathering storm as they await the inevitable coming of the Lord. The Revelation is the story of His Day when the Son of Man will appear in heaven like a flash of lighting for all to see. It is the day that God spoke to His prophets about from the foundation of the world. The Revelation is a book filled with allusions and symbols. God did not leave their meaning to guess work. This commentary will challenge the reader to compare his assumptions about the coming of that day with the prophets who wrote about it prolifically. The basic premise of the Reformers was that the Scripture is the best interpreter of Scripture. This commentary was written to demonstrate that comparing Scripture with Scripture is the best way to understand the Revelation. I have deliberately avoided the jargon of the diverse systems of eschatology to allow the reader to focus on the text and let the Scripture speak for its. I have the profound conviction that the believers to whom John wrote understood what he meant. May the blessing promised to those who read and obey this book be yours.

Download or read book Surprised by Hope written by N. T. Wright and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Award-winning author N. T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright, who is one of today's premier Bible scholars, asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. He provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus and shows how this became the cornerstone for the Christian community's hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth," revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the "second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation—and if this has already begun in Jesus's resurrection—the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life. Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but before it.
