Delighting in the Old Testament - Through Christ and for Christ

Sinossi

Understanding the Old Testament's Purpose in the Christian's Life Today
The Old Testament makes up the majority of the Christian Bible, yet incorrect teaching of its texts abounds in the church. Without effectively studying these stories, covenants, and kingdoms within their close, continuing, and complete biblical contexts, believers miss the beauty of the Old Testament, including how it points to Jesus, and why it still matters today.
Jason DeRouchie helps Christians delight in the books of the Old Testament and read them the way God intended—as relevant parts of Christian Scripture. This accessible guide stresses the need to keep Christ at the center and to account for the progress of salvation history when applying the Old Testament today. It helps Christians interpret the Old Testament, see how it testifies to Jesus, believe that Jesus secured every divine promise, and understand how Jesus makes Moses's law still matter. By more strongly comprehending Old Testament teachings and how they relate to the New, Christians will better enjoy the Old Testament itself and increasingly understand all that Jesus came to fulfill.

Christ-Centered Conflict...

Tony Merida

Have you ever noticed that conflict is absolutely everywhere? Though we all want harmony in our relationships and our world, peace seems so hard to come by. Maybe for you, conflict looks like the latest culture war that relentlessly screams at you to pick a side, and you’re tired of all the fighting. Or perhaps it takes another shape, like a hot-tempered spouse, rebellious child, passive-aggressive friend, difficult church member, withdrawn roommate, or angry social media comment. No matter its form, conflict always finds us. And often, we let it overtake us.  In this short, biblical, and practical book, pastor and author Tony Merida shows us that it doesn’t have to be this way. Merida not only paints a stunning picture of Christ our Peacemaker, he also shows us how to stop wishing for peace and go make it. In these pages, Tony will help you:  Discover where conflict comes from  Realize conflicts don’t have to define you, scare you, or undo you  Stop allowing your relationships to simmer in a place of division, anger, or strife  Understand the pattern and power of Christ as the ultimate Peacemaker  Tap into the Spirit’s supernatural ability to change you in the midst of your conflicts  Learn how to overcome evil with good  Anticipate conflicts and resolve them in biblical, Christ-centered ways  Stop waiting for peace to “hopefully” come to your doorstep.

The Journey of God -...

Jonathan D. Lyonhart

The Journey of God is an exploration into the rich tapestry of Christianity, designed to captivate both mind and soul. The Journey of God transcends traditional theology writing, weaving a compelling narrative that journeys through the six pivotal acts of the Christian story—Creation, Fall, Nation, Redemption, Church, and End. Each chapter unfurls as part novel, part sermon, and part philosophical inquiry, challenging readers to engage with deep theological questions in the order they naturally arise.
Through this unique format, you'll explore the complexities and nuances of Christian thought from multiple perspectives. While blending literature, philosophy, science, history, comedy, drama, and more, The Journey of God explores topics such as:

- Does science challenge faith?
- Why do humans have so much capacity for good and for messing things up?
- Is there objective right and wrong, and who decides?
- Why did Jesus have to die?
- What's the point of the church when so many people have been hurt by it?
- Do all religions teach the same basic things?
Whether you're a layperson, scholar, or minister, The Journey of God invites you to deepen your understanding and devotion while reflecting on the intertwined narratives of faith and reason. Whether used in seminary classrooms or personal study, The Journey of God stands as a contemporary, refreshing introduction to Christianity, offering a well-rounded understanding of the faith that is both intellectually stimulating and spiritually uplifting.
