  Preaching from the Cross -...

  Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God's Word? 
   
   
   
  As a leading Pauline scholar and practicing pastor, Frank Matera has considered these questions, and he offers this short, accessible book to pastors and students as wise and helpful guidance. Matera explores a Pauline theology of preaching, focusing on three main questions: Why did Paul preach? What did he preach? And how did he preach? He also explores Paul's preaching as the ministry of the new covenant. He identifies and explores seven themes of Paul's preaching, which in turn offer key practical insights for preaching in a Pauline way. Listeners are encouraged to "preach from the cross," making the crucified Christ their focus and their model, demonstrating what they preach by their own cruciform lives.

  Live in the Light - Radiating...

  We are in a season of church meltdown.
  The apostle John—the beloved disciple and the author of the Gospel by the same name—wrote letters to churches caught in a turbulent season of leadership failures, divisions over interpretation and practice, church splits, and even a powerful leader stirring up dissent. Sound familiar? It seems as though the church is melting under an angry heat wave of national politics, racism, injustice, and abuse.
  Is there any hope?
  Tara Beth Leach invites us to listen for John's guidance to the church. The same message John sent to Christians in his day is also a message for us today! Darkness seems to surround us, leaving so many without hope. But Jesus, the Light of the world, invites his followers to share that light with others and become the kind of community that brings love, hope, and healing to every darkened space.

  Not Good Enough: Breaking the...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Have you ever felt the crushing weight of “never enough”? It is a lie that robs you of joy and strength, blinds you to God’s grace, and convinces you that your worth depends on what you do instead of who Christ is. 
  This book was written out of that burden. In one way or another, we have all whispered the words, “I am not good enough.” For some, it sparks an endless cycle of striving. For others, it becomes the reason to stop trying altogether. Too often, it is the harshest voice inside our own heads that repeats it. But that is not the truth. The Cross tells a different story. 
  Through honest reflections, real struggles, and the stories of people in Scripture who wrestled with the same feelings, you will see how Christ meets us in weakness. He does not condemn us. He steps in to exchange the lie for His truth. These pages will help you face the false labels of failure, fear, and inadequacy and discover the reality of a Savior who defines your worth and empowers your life. 
  This is not a book of polished answers or lofty theology. It is a companion for real life, written for the weary, the overlooked, the anxious, the fearful, the guilty, the broken, the lost, the empty, and the searching. In Christ, “not worthy” is never the end of the story. The Cross declares your worth and strengthens your steps. He is more than enough, and through Him, so are you. 
  You are more than able, because the Cross says you are.

  The Me I Was Made to Be -...

  Your kids are talking about identity. Are you part of the conversation?   Today’s kids and youth are talking about identity—and often very differently from the adults around them. How can we walk well with them through their questions about who they are and how they fit into the family of God? We must begin by telling a better gospel story, with an invitational posture that actually expects us to love God and love others.   In this engaging and disarming book that speaks to readers across the theological spectrum, author and children’s ministry expert Christie Penner Worden invites grownups along to imagine a more Jesus-centered narrative for the sake of kids who are no longer buying what the church is selling, who do not feel safe, and who have not been welcomed into the conversation that adults are having without them. The Me I Was Made to Be is the beginning of a conversation that offers a compelling story on identity rooted in a deeper understanding of the gospel—one that includes all image-bearers and extends Jesus’ welcome to all our kids.
