The Bible speaks about Jesus’s birth, death, resurrection, and ascension as the gospel of salvation, generally occurring between 9 BC to AD 30. As Christians, connecting the dots from Jesus’ death helps us understand the chronological starting point of the dispensation of grace. To know Christ’s life events, we need to follow customs and traditions involving the Jewish culture. In Covenant of Grace, author T. L. Means details the years mentioned, clarifying the final seven years of the Bible, as explained through the Jewish feasts. He answers many question and make arguments based on factual constructive criticism, such as: • What do we know about dates in the Bible? • Are there different calendar systems used to form a chronological order of events? • Is it God’s will for us to know how the final years will begin and end without the repercussion of being judged by God? Truth from the word of God allows us to justify its reality of biblical truth from historical events. There is probable cause in every circumstance of life. The root of it is either grounded in facts of truth or it is left in the challenge of probable truth without circumstantial evidence. Covenant of Grace embarks on scholarly research to find sourced evidence about the cause and effect of life’s truth.

As the gospel spreads to the far corners of the earth, the apostle Paul is under mounting pressure to provide direction to maturing churches before they go astray. It's with this urgency that Paul covers many topics that are especially relevant in today's society. Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the first letter to the church in Corinth to show how this church in particular allowed their worldliness to affect the church's priority of spreading the gospel—and how Paul's response gives Christians black-and-white boundaries in a gray world. As Paul explains doctrinal truths directly relating to sin and righteousness, he outlines a foundation for godly behavior. Paul's letter is a valuable tool of correction and encouragement for believers—then and now—to be alert, firm, mature, strong, and loving. —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
