The book of Acts is packed with powerful stories of the apostles preaching the gospel, working miracles, overcoming constant opposition, and being used by God to grow His church throughout the world. Yet in the Gospel accounts, the disciples’ behavior was not always stellar. What happened between the Gospels and Acts? The Holy Spirit transformed the apostles.In this verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Acts, Clark Van Wick unfolds the history and growth of the early church and the welcoming of the Gentiles into the kingdom of God. In this account a beautiful model emerges for the church today: no hype, hoopla, gadgets, or gizmos—just believers telling others about Jesus and people coming to faith in Him as Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit. This commentary, with its conversational tone emphasizing discipleship more than scholarship, is a tool to help you understand the Scriptures better and, ultimately, be changed by the power of God’s Word.

<p>The book of Romans has been called the constitution of Christianity and the Magna Carta of our faith. It has touched the hearts of many—Saint Augustine, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Wesley, Billy Graham, Chuck Smith, to name a few. And no wonder—it shows us how to become righteous and get to heaven. Too often we try to develop righteous lives and gain entrance into heaven by going to church or reading our Bibles or doing good works. But righteousness doesn’t come by what we do or who we are—it comes by who we know. Only through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross can we be made righteous and get to heaven. Praise be to God! This is the good news of grace—and it’s what the book of Romans is all about. May we be drawn to the fullness of life in Christ as we study Paul’s letter to the believers in Rome.</p>

<p>The book of Hebrews centers on one key theme: the superiority and supremacy of Christ.The book of Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians. Jews who came to faith in Jesus Christ were persecuted by Rome and also ostracized by their unbelieving friends and family. As a result, many were pressured to return to the law and the bondage of legalism.A lot of religious groups do the same thing today. They say, “You have to believe in Jesus Christ and be baptized in our church,” or, “You have to knock on so many doors to win others to Christ,” or, “You have to give money.” This leads to legalism.The book of Hebrews showed the Jewish believers—and it shows us today—that Jesus is better than any good works we can do. He is better than the angels, better than Moses, better than Aaron. He is a better sacrifice, a better sanctuary, a better covenant, a better promise, a better resurrection, a better hope. Salvation is not by works—it is through faith in Jesus alone.</p>
