Download or read book A Meal with Jesus written by Tim Chester and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: "Food connects." Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological—an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, "The meals of Jesus represent something bigger." Six chapters in A Meal with Jesus show how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation, and promise. Moving from biblical times to the modern world, Chester applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality. He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping readers consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.
Download or read book The Lord s Supper as the Sign and Meal of the New Covenant written by Guy Prentiss Waters and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'" —1 Corinthians 11:24 The Lord's Supper is more than a church tradition or a complex doctrinal controversy—it has practical importance to our daily lives. When Jesus instituted the Supper, it was meant to strengthen the faith of his followers by reminding them of his promises. God has always made promises to his people through covenants, and along with them given signs and meals to point to and confirm his blessings. Looking at the unity of the covenants throughout the Bible, this book will help Christians recover the practical importance of the Lord's Supper as both a sign and a meal of the new covenant blessings God has bestowed on believers in Christ.

Download or read book The Jesus Paradigm written by David Alan Black and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church is in disarray. Theologians and commentators speak of the demise of evangelicalism. Are they alarmists? Is Christianity as we know it in the process of dying? Writer, scholar, teacher, and missionary Dr. David Alan Black thinks that the answer does not lie in the politics of the left or the right. In fact, he doesn't think that Jesus tells us what our politics should be. He doesn't see answers in Christian nationalism. But even further, he sees serious flaws in the very structure of our churches and denominations that prevent us from truly being obedient to the gospel. The solution lies, not in renewal, revival, or even in reformation, but rather in restoration-a restoration of the church organized as Jesus intended it and according to the example provided by the earliest church sources in the New Testament. To make the church and its members true servants of Jesus Christ again, we need to change our entire paradigm-to The Jesus Paradigm.

Download or read book Baptism and the Lord s Supper written by Thabiti M. Anyabwile and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper have played an important role in the church since its earliest days. There has also been much disagreement within the church about how to understand them. Pastors Thabiti Anyabwile and J. Ligon Duncan have teamed up to outline the Bible’s basic teaching about baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Speaking from different traditions, they bring perspective to the discussion while both observing that baptism and the Lord’s Supper should be fundamentally understood as pointing to something greater. This new booklet from the Gospel Coalition will bring clarity for those wanting to understand the importance of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The authors offer a thoughtful explanation for point 12 of the Gospel Coalition’s Confessional Statement. The coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a Scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.
Download or read book With Passionate Longing written by Thomas Price and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to help create an intense desire to meet the Lord Jesus at the Lord's Supper on a regular basis, just as He has a passionate longing to meet us there. It has weekly meditations to help enrich that special time, which can inflame a consistent devotion that can relight your candle. It can be used as a launch pad by the pastor, teacher, or preacher for individual sermons and teachings on the Lord's Supper, or simply a devotional companion for the Christian at home. Some churches have a tendency to use the same meditation, same Scripture, and often the same songs every time they observe the Lord's Supper corporately. This regular practice can become boring, routine, ritualistic, and eventually meaningless without taking an approach to deflect that. It helps to use a different meditation every time: take a new outlook, change the topic, or use a new theme of our Lord's life and sacrifice and meditate on it, though maintaining the foundation of Christ's sufferings and crucifixion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who did Jesus of Nazareth claim to be? What was his relationship with early Judaism? When and how did he expect the kingdom to come? What were his intentions? Though these key questions have been addressed in studies of the historical Jesus, Brant Pitre argues that they cannot be fully answered apart from a careful historical analysis of the Last Supper accounts. In this book Pitre offers a rigorous, up-to-date study of the historical Jesus and the Last Supper, filling a significant gap in current Jesus research. Situating the Last Supper in the triple contexts of ancient Judaism, the life of Jesus, and early Christianity, Pitre brings to light crucial insights into major issues driving the quest for Jesus. His Jesus and the Last Supper is sure to ignite discussion and debate.

Body language is usually more explicit. ""This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."" (I Cor. 11:24). I hope you will see Jesus Christ in his body language on the cross, in the Lord's Supper, and in these sermons. C. Thomas HiltonFirst Presbyterian Church Pompano Be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For hundreds of years, we thought we knew what happened during Jesus' last days. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday are not only observed by Christians around the world, but are also recognized in calendars and by non-practitioners as commemorating the true timeline of events in the life of Christ. But apparent inconsistencies in the gospel accounts of Jesus' final week have puzzled Bible scholars for centuries. In The Mystery of the Last Supper, Colin Humphreys uses science to reveal the truth about Jesus' final days. Reconciling conflicting Gospel accounts and scientific evidence, Humphreys reveals the exact date of the Last Supper in a definitive new timeline of Holy Week.
