Strengthening Christ's Church: 1 Corinthians

History

EP BOOKS

WCS 1 Kings traces the history of God s people from the heights of glory and prosperity enjoyed during the reign of Solomon, through the subsequent division into separate northern and southern kingdoms, and on to the dark days of Elijah s lone stand on Mount Carmel against the worshippers of the false God Baal and its aftermath. The example of Solomon and those who followed him stands as a stark warning to Christians today of the serious consequences of disobedience to God s revealed Word. The same God who would not countenance devotion to false gods will brook no rivals in the affections of his people today. But 1 Kings is not only a book about human failure. It is also a book about God s sovereign purpose, which cannot be thwarted and defeated by human disobedience. In the story of the kings of Israel and Judah, as in all the Old Testament narrative, we see God pointing people to the coming King of whom Solomon, in all his splendor, was only a faint and imperfect picture.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Bible is its unity. While many authors contributed to it, all their writings are connected with one theme. That one theme is the redemption of sinful men and women through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. A shorter way of stating this theme is 'Paradise lost and regained.' This is the aim of this guide; to provide an overview of the entire Scriptures taking one book at a time. To assist with this aim, each chapter has helpful discussion questions to enable interactive study of the major themes of the book with the added assistance of the weblink to ask further questions of a dedicated panel of pastors and church officers.

As 2 Kings opens, we find the people of God divided into two kingdoms: Israel and Judah. Neither kingdom was to last. By the end of the book both kingdoms had been taken captive

2 Kings: Apostasy, Destruction & Hope (Welwyn Commentary Series)

Guide Christian Comfort (Guide (Evangelical Press))

The prophecy of Isaiah consists of sixty-six chapters. Its last twenty-seven chapters may be considered to be a book within a book. These chapters, which are bound together by the theme of comfort, can be called 'God's Book of Comfort.' This portion of God's Word lends itself well to a devotional format, and this book has been structured in that way. The reader will find at the beginning of each chapter some suggestions on how to get the most out of each chapter. Each chapter ends with some questions that are intended to encourage the reader to preserve some of his or her thoughts in journal form. This is a wonderfully helpful discipline, and will be instrumental in getting some to start and others to continue. Approached in this way, the reader will have devotional material for twenty-seven days to visit each of these precious, comforting chapters in the Word of our God.

The God of All Comfort: Reflections in Isaiah

In the last twenty years, high income countries have witnessed an important movement in the aspirations of public policy beyond meeting merely material goals towards a range of outcomes captured through the use of the term 'wellbeing'. Nonetheless, the concept of wellbeing is itself ill-defined, a term used in multiple different contexts with different meanings and policy implications. Bringing together a range of perspectives, this volume comprehensively examines the intersections of wellbeing and place. Conceptualisations of place, context and settings have come under critical examination, and more nuanced and varied understandings are drawn out from both academic and policy-related research. Whilst quantitative and some policy approaches treat place as a static backdrop or context, others explore the interrelationships of emotional, social, cultural and experiential meanings that places and different physical spaces have and how this in turn impacts upon behaviour and decision-making. Whilst the volume focuses on human geography's leading role in problematising apparently commonsense engagements with place, it is interdisciplinary in approach and draws on other fields for additional conceptual insight. The book is structured into four related sections: the first, conceptualising wellbeing and place; the second, experiences, wellbeing and place; the third, the life course, wellbeing and place; and finally, design, wellbeing and place.

Hold Your Course: 22 Daily Readings from the Book of Colossians

The Gospel of John may very well be the best loved of all the books of the Bible. Written at a time when many false teachers were challenging the basic facts of the gospel, John produced this grand and glorious Gospel that its readers may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

What the Bible Teaches about Angels

Reference

We live in trying times, times of moral laxity and confusion, times when God's laws are scorned and disdained, times in which people make up their own rules as they go along. Parents rightly want their children to be happy. But what produces happiness? Many parents think it is produced by allowing their children to do whatever they want. All of this makes the bringing up of godly children extremely difficult and challenging. Sometimes it seems impossible. All the different aspects of our society seem to have come together in a gigantic conspiracy to undermine the morality of our children, and Christian parents struggle to know how to respond. The Bible is a practical book. It deals with real-life people dealing with real-life problems and seeking real-life solutions. Parenting is one of those areas where many real-life people are finding real-life problems. The Bible has real-life solutions! In this straightforward and easy-to-read book, Roger Ellsworth asserts that Christians must
