This Bible study series from beloved Bible teacher Kay Arthur and the teaching staff of Precept Ministries tackles important issues in brief, easy-to-grasp lessons you can benefit from personally or as part of a small group. Each book in the series includes six 40-minute studies designed to draw you into God’s Word through basic inductive Bible study. As Kay explains, "Rather than simply reading or listening to what others say about a subject, you are going to see for yourself what God says about it." Join one of the world’s most respected Bible teachers in a study that will revolutionize your thinking--and your life. You are surrounded by a world that’s watching you, waiting to see if what you say is true--if you really believe what you say and “walk the walk you talk." That thought may seem overwhelming, even intimidating. But Kay Arthur is ready to guide you into a deeper understanding of God’s Word. This study of vital passages from Ephesians will help you discover what God says about the lifestyle of a true believer. And it will equip you to live in a manner worthy of your calling--with the ultimate goal of developing a life marked by maturity, Christlikeness, and peace. Get started on an authentic walk with God that matches your talk. Kay Arthur will show you the way.

En 1 Corintios 12:28, la Biblia nos habla de una serie de dones que Dios ha puesto a disposición de la iglesia. Estos diferentes dones, en conjunto, ayudan a la iglesia de Dios a avanzar con fuerza. El don de gobierno es uno de los dones que Dios ha puesto en la iglesia. ¿Cómo debe conducirse el liderazgo de la iglesia? ¿Qué deben hacer los líderes de la iglesia? La Biblia dice claramente: «Obedeced a vuestros pastores, y sujetaos a ellos; porque ellos velan por vuestras almas, como quienes han de dar cuenta; para que lo hagan con alegría, y no quejándose, porque esto no os es provechoso». Debemos tomar en serio el don de gobierno, y este libro invaluable de Dag Heward-Mills ayudará al liderazgo de tu iglesia, a la administración de la iglesia y al gobierno de la iglesia de manera práctica todos los días.
En la presente obra te ofrecemos los capítulos dedicados a los Profetas Mayores del Antiguo Testamento: fueron ellos quienes dedicaron gran parte de sus vidas experimentando sufrimientos y penurias mientras inspirados por el Señor nos dejaban abundantes escritos sobre qué nos depararía el futuro y cómo se develaría el plan de Dios dentro de la historia humana. Como libro de estudio se diferencia de otros en que no es simplemente para saciar la curiosidad, sino adentrarnos en el futuro que apremia anunciándonos y explicando las profecías bíblicas al detalle. Es más que nada lo que el Espíritu Santo de Dios ha revelado, y fruto del estudio esforzado de todas las profecías bíblicas; es por tanto un libro dirigido a aquellos interesados en escudriñar--como se nos dice en San Juan 5:39--las profecías bíblicas, incluidas dentro del Plan de Dios, dedicándole tiempo, paciencia y mucha oración.
Everyone knows the story of Jonah and the big fish, but the book of Jonah carries deeper significance than we sometimes realize. Jonah is a rebellious prophet who refuses to complete the assignment that the LORD gives to him. Why does Jonah run from his calling? The answer to that question gets to the heart of the message of Jonah's prophetic book. This new and exciting study of the book of Jonah is written for a popular audience: laity, pastors, and students. Arranged in five easy to read lessons, the work includes the author's original translation of the book of Jonah from the Hebrew text, a thorough expositional study of Jonah, a teacher's outline, student handouts, and study questions. The format allows the study to be used by an individual, in a small group, or in a church class.
From telemarketers to traffic jams to twenty-item shoppers in the ten-item line, our lives are full of interruptions. They're often aggravating, sometimes infuriating, and can make us want to tell people what we really think about them. But they also tell us something quite important about ourselves. The prophet Jonah's life was interrupted by a clear call of God that made him mad enough and scared enough to run in the completely opposite direction. Yet it wasn't really an interruption. It was an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen: national revival in a Gentile country. What if Jonah had seen God's interruption for what it truly was—a divine intervention that held more adventure and possibility than any other thing he could have been doing at the time? What could have felt any better than being directly in the center of God's will? Yet we play it that same way—always running from major pains and minor problems that just don't seem to suit us at the time. Who knows what we're missing by being so interruption avoidant? In this very personal account of opportunities lost and lessons learned, popular conference speaker and author Priscilla Shirer shows how to embrace the amazing freedom and fulfillment that comes from going with God, even when He's going against your grain. .
