ABINGDON PRESS *

Christians are faced every day with daunting choices between difficult alternatives. What does my Christian faith have to say about the moral issues that divide our society? There are plenty of people on opposite sides of the spectrum claiming to know the will of God in these matters. It is nonetheless very difficult to find help in looking at both sides of these ethical questions and applying the biblical witness to arrive at an authentically Christian belief about them. This is precisely what Adam Hamilton proposes to do. Presented as a collection of sermons, Confronting the Controversies includes euthanasia, assisted suicide, creationism, abortion, and homosexuality. Scrupulously fair to both the positions of each side and their motivations for holding them, Hamilton offers clear, concise information on what is at stake in these explosive issues. Hamilton applies a careful, broad reading of Scripture to offer direct yet compassionate guidance on what a faithful Christian response will be. This book is set up for group study, with discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

Confronting The Controversies: A Christian Looks at the Tough Issues

The pastor of one of today’s most dynamic churches illumines the basic principles of attracting the unchurched to the Christian message. Using the story of Bob, a successful swimsuit salesman whose business takes a turn for the worse when he moves to Alaska, Adam Hamilton reminds us that all of life is about sales. Whether we are in a job interview, a candidates’ debate, or a classroom, we are selling something: our skills, our convictions, our selves. The same is true of presenting the gospel to the unchurched. In leading a friend to a saving relationship with Christ, in inviting them to join us at church, we are presenting them with something that we believe they need, that will make all the difference in their life. Yet if we don’t understand what we are presenting, who we are presenting it to, if we don’t believe in the message we are offering, or if we don’t believe that people need that message more than anything else, then we will not be faithful witnesses to it. In short, says Hamilton, if we don’t understand some of the most basic principles that all successful salespersons know, then we will not succeed in presenting the message of Christ to those who most need to hear it.

Out of print. Please use pickable kit 9781501856327 instead Why do Orthodox Christians use icons in worship? What is the “baptism in the Holy Spirit” that Pentecostals speak about? Why do Roman Catholics focus on the Eucharist in worship? What do Lutherans teach us about salvation? What do Presbyterians teach us about God’s power? How can Episcopalians deepen our prayer life? What can Baptists teach us about living for Christ? Adam Hamilton will begin answering these questions and more in this eight-session, video-and-book study. Participants will learn of the history, theology, and distinctive emphases of eight different Christian denominations and faith traditions. For each tradition, participants will hear from a clergy member of that tradition and look at Scriptures that have shaped that faith. Churches that purchase the study will be given tools and sermon starters to create a congregation-wide emphasis, shaping worship around elements of each denomination as it is studied. The eight sessions are: <ol>
<li>Orthodoxy: Mystery, Liturgy, and Tradition</li> <li>Catholicism: Sacrament and Mass</li> <li>Lutheranism: Word and Faith</li> <li>Presbyterianism: The Sovereignty of God</li> <li>Anglicanism: Common Prayer</li> <li>Baptists: Baptism, Conversion, and Scripture</li> <li>Pentecostalism: The Power of the Spirit</li> <li>Methodists: People of the Extreme Center</li> </ol> This planning kit contains one of each component: DVD, Participant's Book, Leader's Guide and Pastor's Guide with CD-ROM.

Seeing Gray Participant's Guide: Where Faith & Politics Meet Participant Study Guide

More and more young adults have opted out of Christianity and the church. The reason? Christians. When young adults talk about the problems they have with Christianity and the church, they often name certain attitudes and behaviors they believe are practiced too often by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and being anti-homosexual. With his familiar style, Adam Hamilton tackles these issues and addresses the how's and why's of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world. When Christians Get It Wrong Participant Book may be used with campus ministries, small groups, and Sunday school classes. The six-session Participant Book features additional stories, reflection questions and Scripture insights to help groups read and study together.

Making Sense of the Bible Leader Guide

[Includes Bonus PDF with maps and more!] [Read by Sean Runnette] Denominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn't about the particular social issue but about the ''authority of the Bible.'' Addressing the key questions and hot button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, Hamilton organizes the book according the concerns that matter most. Hamilton, for the first time, offers an all-encompassing look at his spiritual views. Here, he proposes a new way of seeing scripture that is more elastic, realistic, and human than many conservatives currently see it while more divine and authoritative than many progressives see it.
