Acts: Audio Bible Studies - The...

Randy Frazee

YOU CAN BECOME PART OF GOD’S AMAZING REVOLUTION!
When you put your faith in Jesus, you become a member of the amazing family of God. You come into a place where you are known, loved, accepted . . . and never alone. But you also become part of a revolution that shook the foundations of society when the early church burst onto the scene—a revolution that still changes lives and even societies today.
In this six-week audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this “revolution of faith.” You will trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth—encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.
If you are a follower of Jesus, you are part of this revolution . . . a revolution in which you are called to serve alongside your family in Christ and share God’s love with the world.
The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God’s Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study. As you do, you will gain an understanding of the background and culture of the book, insights into key passages that you might have overlooked before, and clear takeaways that you can apply today to your life.

Rescuing Inerrancy - A...

Hugh Ross

Theologians, pastors, and churchgoers face a growing crisis. An increasing number of respected evangelical scholar's say it's time to rethink the bedrock doctrine of biblical inerrancy. They claim that new scientific findings necessitate an overhaul of inerrancy for Christianity to remain viable in the intellectual sphere. In Rescuing Inerrancy, astrophysicist Hugh Ross offers a scientific defense of biblical inerrancy. He provides evidence for a moderate concordist view of dual revelation—the notion that God faithfully reveals himself in the book of Scripture and the book of nature. Ross's survey of the latest scientific evidence will equip you to defend this historical view and instill confidence that the testimony of nature will always concord with the words of Scripture.
