Download or read book A Forty Day Study of the Biblical Story written by Rick Jory and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is not one book. It is a compilation of sixty-six books, or writings. And even though these were written by some forty different authors over a period of 1500 years, there is an integrated message that runs throughout the Bible. Unfortunately, we often get our exposure to the Bible piecemeal. For the church goer, each week a small sliver of the biblical text is reviewed, without a mechanism that puts all of these pieces into an integrated whole. What we read or hear can seem disjointed. How is the book of Leviticus connected to the book of Hebrews? How is John’s reason for writing his Gospel related to Psalm 2? How do we connect the covenant ceremony of Genesis 15 with the cross—much less understand that ceremony to begin with? Why is the book of Ruth included as part of the Bible? What does it have to do with anything? Or better yet, why do we have the book of Esther—where God is not mentioned at all? What makes each of these important? How are they related, or are they? In short, how is God’s story—God’s revelation—unified? That’s where A Forty-Day Study of the Biblical Story comes in. It looks at how each of the elements of the Bible contribute to an integrated whole. And the lens used to see Scripture in a unified way is Jesus. Everything we look at is done in the context to how it relates to Jesus and how it contributes to the Bible’s unified message. We learn why an obscure Galilean carpenter has become the center of all of history.

Download or read book A Forty Day Study of John s Gospel written by Rick Jory and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus claim to be God? Without question. And he did so repeatedly. That’s why John, a member of the “inner circle” of the disciples, wrote his own account of Jesus’ time on earth. A Forty-Day Study of John’s Gospel answers the question, “Who exactly is Jesus?” and shows how the works and words of Jesus validate his claim that he is God the Son. Other books in this series include A Forty-Day Study of the Biblical Story, volumes one and two; A Forty-Day Study of the Book of Hebrews; and A Forty-Day Study on Sin, Salvation, and Sanctification.

Download or read book A Forty Day Study of Paul s Letter to the Romans written by Rick Jory and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the introduction to his commentary on Romans, Martin Luther wrote, “This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes” (Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, xiii). Luther was right. Paul’s letter to the Romans should be the Christian’s daily bread for the soul. This book goes through Romans verse by verse—helping us to understand what Christianity is. The focus is on the difference between religion—humanity reaching for God—and Christianity—God reaching for humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the Bible’s teachings on the three central elements of our Christian journey: • Sin—our spiritual death and separation from God. • Salvation—our being brought into the family of God solely by the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. • Sanctification—God’s work through us because of the Holy Spirit within us. It answers three key questions: Why do we need to be saved? How are we saved? What are we saved for? Other books in this series include A Forty-Day Study of the Biblical Story, volumes one and two; A Forty-Day Study of the Book of Hebrews; and A Forty-Day Study on John’s Gospel.

Download or read book A Forty Day Study of the Book of Hebrews written by Rick Jory and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Christians lose their salvation? Are there such things as guardian angels? Can those in heaven see the happenings on earth? How were the Old Testament saints saved since Jesus hadn’t been born yet? Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Today you shall be with me in paradise,” but he wasn’t raised from the dead until three days later and didn’t ascend into heaven until many days after that—did Jesus lie? Using an in-depth study of the book of Hebrews, Dr. Jory explores answers from the Bible for these and a host of other questions about God and the Christian faith. Biblical commentaries come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of detail and complexity. Dr. Jory’s approach is to ratchet down the complexity. It seeks to present material with these questions always in focus: What would I want to learn from the Bible? How would I want it to be taught to me? The material is presented in short lessons structured to be covered over a forty-day period and is geared for both individual and small-group Bible studies.

Download or read book 40 Days with God written by Kent Hickey and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much time is enough to be with God? While it could be the 40 days or years used so often in the Bible, it’s also possible that simply stealing a few minutes from the busy-ness of each day is enough time to be in Kairos, “God time.” The same is true for the space needed to find God. Whether it be in a deserted place or one filled with activity, whatever space we can carve out to find God—or to make enough room to be found—is enough space. This book is about being with God in short time and tight spaces. The journey is taken through and with the Bible, 40 reflections based on 40 passages from Scripture, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation. For the prayerful reader, it is an opportunity to carve out God-space and God-time, a pilgrimage with God, toward God.

Download or read book Wonderstruck written by Margaret Feinberg and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's be honest: it's far too easy to go through day-to-day life without a sense of the mystery, the marvel, or the awe of God's presence. Have you ever felt your relationship with God isn't as vibrant as you want it to be? Have you ever felt like God seemed far away -- even in the midst of devotions, prayer, and church? We Were Created for Wonder You were created and designed to experience wonder. Woven into the fabric of our humanity is an innate ability and desire for the wonder of God. It's felt in the moments when you watch the sun melt behind the horizon, when you reach out to cradle a baby and smell the sweet scent of new life, when you can't help but smile as you witness two wrinkled souls renew their vows to each other. Such moments remind us we were made for something more than deadlines and debt, carpools and coffee breaks. Yet despite such wondrous moments, we can still find ourselves going through the motions of faith. Whether you're: A long time follower of Jesus or still figuring Him out Unemployed, overly-employed, or an entrepreneur A creator, innovator, or conformist Grumpy, ebullient, grey-haired or bed-head An average Joe or have-a-gym-membership-but-never-go A superhero (of any era), supermom, superdad, super grand, super great grand, or don't feel particularly super at all No matter who you are or where you've been -- if you've lived a life where you've seen it all, done it all, or feel like you're past it all -- God still longs to take your breath away. Isaiah 29:4 records God's desire for you: "Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder." Do you see it? God is busting at the seams to display His glory, power, and might in your life. And He wants to give you the greatest gift of all -- Himself. Yet why do we pass by the wonder of God unaware?
