Summary

Commentary from Christopher Ash Sets Out a Deeply Christian Study of Psalms 1–50
While reading Psalms, it is common for commentaries to focus on Old Testament meaning, without connecting it deeply to Christ's fulfillment in the New Testament. By studying Scripture this way, believers miss out on the fullness of God's word. The key to experiencing authentically Christian worship is learning a Christ-focused approach to praying and singing the Psalms.
In this thorough commentary, Christopher Ash provides a careful treatment of Psalms 1–50, examining each psalm's significance to David and the other psalmists, to Jesus during his earthly ministry, and to the church of Christ in every age. Ash includes introductory quotations, a deep analysis of the text's structure and vocabulary, and a closing reflection and response, along with selected quotations from older readings of the Psalms. Perfect for pastors, Bible teachers, and students, this commentary helps readers sing and pray the Psalms with Christ in view.

- Exhaustive: Christopher Ash's exegesis explores how the Psalms are quoted and echoed throughout the New Testament
- Applicable and Heartfelt: Explains how a Christ-centered approach to reading the Psalms influences doctrines of prayer, prophecy, the Trinity, ecclesiology, and more
- Ideal for Pastors and Serious Students of Scripture: Written for Bible teachers, Sunday school and youth leaders, and small-group leaders

    Sacrifice - The Selfless Giving

    Sacrifice is often seen as the ultimate act of selflessness, a decision to give up something valuable for the benefit of others. It manifests in various forms, from small daily compromises to life-altering choices that define one's character. True sacrifice is not merely about loss but about a deeper understanding of purpose, love, and responsibility. It is an act driven by compassion, commitment, and a willingness to put others before oneself, even when it comes at a great personal cost. 
Throughout history, sacrifice has played a crucial role in shaping societies and individuals. From warriors who lay down their lives for their nations to parents who dedicate their existence to their children's well-being, the essence of sacrifice is woven into the fabric of humanity. Ancient traditions and religions uphold sacrifice as a virtue, often associating it with divine favor, enlightenment, or moral duty. Whether in the form of offerings to gods, acts of service, or personal hardships endured for the greater good, sacrifice has always been regarded as an honorable and noble act. 
Yet, the concept of sacrifice is often misunderstood. Many equate it with mere obligation or duty, but true sacrifice goes beyond forced compliance. It is a conscious choice made out of love, not compulsion. A soldier who volunteers for a dangerous mission, a teacher who dedicates their life to underprivileged children, or a person who donates a life-saving organ to a stranger—these are acts of sacrifice born not out of obligation but from a genuine desire to make a difference. Unlike reluctant compromises, true sacrifice carries an emotional depth that transforms both the giver and the recipient.

    About the Book 
STW on Genesis 3: Spiritual Warfare and the Fall of Man 
From the first deception in Eden to the final victory in Revelation, the Bible shows that life is not just a series of circumstances—it is a battlefield. In this powerful and practical book, Dr. Thomas L. Driver, Ph.D., D.Min., guides readers through Scripture to reveal the reality of spiritual warfare and the believer’s authority in Christ. 
Drawing from the Genesis account of the serpent’s deception and Adam and Eve’s fall, Dr. Driver demonstrates how Satan’s tactics of accusation, temptation, and deception remain active today.  
Each chapter combines biblical interpretation with practical application, helping believers identify the enemy’s schemes in their families, workplaces, and culture—and overcome them through prayer, fasting, and the Word of God. 
This book is more than just theology; it is a call to action. Drawing from his twenty-seven years of military service and his personal transformative walk with Christ, Dr. Driver empowers readers to stand firm in the whole armor of God and live as more than conquerors.

    During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
 
 
 
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

    Names have power--and knowing God's name is to enjoy a kind of privileged access to him. Join bestselling author Ann Spangler as she invites you to experience God's love and power by exploring the Hebrew names of God. 
Names in the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another. In fact, they often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names of God recorded in the Bible: El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, Abba, El Elyon. 
Praying the Names of God is a twenty-six-week devotional study that explores the most prominent names of God in the Old Testament to reveal the deeper meanings behind them and to teach you how to pray through them. Each name or title is broken down into three sections each week:Monday: Study a portion of Scripture that reveals a specific name of GodTuesday through Thursday: Pray specific Scripture passages related to the nameFriday: Pray Scripture promises connected to the name 
  
As you journey through this devotional, you'll gain a more intimate understanding of who God is and how he can be relied upon in every circumstance of your life, enabling you to echo the psalmist's prayer: "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."
