The Sermon on the Mount - A 12-Week Study

Drew Hunter

Summary

Engaging 12-Week Study Helps Readers Better Understand and Apply God's Word
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
In The Sermon on the Mount, Drew Hunter examines the biblical event that led to some of Jesus's most well-known statements, including the Beatitudes. Guiding readers through Matthew 5–7 passage by passage, this guide demonstrates that the Sermon the Mount is not a disorganized collection of sayings, but a series of naturally progressing sections.  

- Helpful Bible Study Resource: Features date and historical background, theological context for the Bible passage, "Whole-Bible Connections," compelling reflection questions, and more
- In-Depth: Ties the biblical text in with the whole story of Scripture, shows how each passage unveils the gospel, and illuminates the doctrines taught in each passage
- Part of the Knowing the Bible Series: With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible

Apocalypse of Mark

Caleb Deassis

The Apocalypse of Mark is a Christian book written in the ancient style of apocalyptic literature designed to read like a short narrative book one would find in the Bible, like Job, Ruth, or Esther. Narrator John Mark presents a linear retelling of the Biblical meta-narrative, heavily quoting from and alluding to the Biblical text. Beginning prior to creation and ending in the "new heavens and earth" incorporating enigmatic Biblical passages, it demonstrates how they are indispensable to the overall redemption story. The text also offers the reader hope by exposing the Gospel of Jesus as the central focus of God's relational plan. The text is packed with theological teachings and shows how they are all interconnected. The author began the project by trying to solve the question, "Where do demons come from?" Bolstered by years of research, he presents his findings in a creative and engaging narrative style.

Holy Sepulchre The: The History...

Charles River Editors

The most famous church in Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, often called the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the era of St. Constantine, and the church as a structure has no history separable from the city of Jerusalem and its environs. It is venerated as being on the site where Jesus was crucified and buried, and naturally, making it a crucial pilgrimage site for Christians, and it is now the home of the Greek Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarchate. Moreover, it was the site of many important councils, some of which altered Christian history forever. In short, the Sepulchre was and is synonymous with Jerusalem, and it was essentially the nodal center of the city. Naturally, the Church has had a turbulent history just as Jerusalem has. Under the Emperor Vespasian, Jerusalem was attacked and depopulated by Roman forces in 70 A.D., and from 131-134, the Jewish revolt invited another Roman reprisal. Over and over again, Jerusalem has been decimated, sacked and razed.
The temple built by Constantine was demolished by Jewish militants in 614 under the protection of the Persian Empire. There was an earthquake in 746, and a devastating fire in 967. The temple continued to experience ups and downs that are endemic and essential to its history. In 1036, the Islamic government permitted the rebuilding of the church, and in 1048, Constantine Monomakh improved on the new structure.
Christian Crusaders would famously conquer Jerusalem at the end of the 11th century, and over the ensuing centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. Of course, this made the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a perfect target, so much so that a powerful company of knights was founded to guard the church and defend its presence with their lives.

Discovering God's Kingdom Business

solomon Hailu

The kingdom of God is a profit-driven business, not simply a charitable organization or a non-profit business. Jesus presented the kingdom of God as a profitable business in all of his messages. The kingdom of God is a place to work for God, not just a place of begging God for something. God gives every believer equal opportunity to work in His kingdom. The very reason we are here on earth is to fulfil God’s mandate of expanding His kingdom on earth. However, the Kingdom of God must involve in our lives before we involve in God’s kingdom business. The kingdom of God must shape our lives before we get involved in God’s kingdom business. One qualifies to do business in the kingdom of God if personally admitted to the Kingdom of God by being born again. The book draws Biblical examples of people who effectively used their God given talents to work in the Kingdom of God and those who missed the opportunity in the kingdom of God by wasting their God given talents. 
About the Author 
Solomon Hailu, Ph.D. is a full Professor of Political Science at Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma. He has extensively published books and journal articles in the areas of International Politics and the Kingdom of God.

Two Hands - Grief and Gratitude...

Lynne Baab

A book for people grieving because of the pandemic, health challenges, family conflict, or other losses, while also seeing so many things to be thankful for. A book for small groups – each of the seven chapters has discussion questions at the end.
“Two Hands: Grief and Gratitude in the Christian Life is one of the most important books I have read in the last few months. I have long been an advocate for gratitude as a way of life, but Lynne Baab helped me understand that grief is just as important and often the missing element in our practices. We all need a better understanding of how grief and gratitude intertwine in a healthy life. This is a must read book for everyone as we emerge from the challenges of the COVID pandemic.” —Christine Sine, curator of the Godspace blog and author of The Gift of Wonder: Creative Practices for Delighting In God
“Grief and gratitude are not a dichotomy. With generous doses of pastoral wisdom and emotional intelligence, Lynne Baab invites us to identify the breadth and intensity of our grief and gratitude. Drawing on Psalms, Paul, Jesus and his disciples, alongside deeply personal examples, Baab navigates a way for the soul to move beyond cynicism, inadequacy, materialism and denial. Two Hands is a delightful book in pandemic times to read prayerfully and contemplatively and in conversation with trusted friends.” —Rev. Dr. Darren Cronshaw, Professor of Missional Leadership at Sydney College of Divinity and Pastor of Auburn Baptist Church
“Lynne Baab’s biblically rooted reflections on grief and gratitude encourage us toward wholeness. With insight, honesty and compassion for the struggle, she urges us to embrace both the brokenness and ampleness of God’s world.” —Caroline J. Simon (Ph.D.), author of The Disciplined Heart: Love, Destiny and Imagination
