Your spiritual glass is half empty if your Christian life consists only of good theology, good works, and just attending church without a truly supernatural lifestyle. Many believers, even those who are Spirit-filled, cannot claim to possess a fully supernatural life. Happy with an occasional taste of Heaven, they assume that such a goal is out of reach. In this well written and easy to understand manual, author Ryan Wyatt explains the interplay of the physical and spiritual worlds in a fresh way that shows you—beyond doubt—that a supernatural lifestyle is available to you as well.
A Biblical Theology of the Royal Priesthood from Genesis to Revelation "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." —1 Peter 2:9 From Genesis to Revelation, the theme of the royal priesthood is a silver thread running through the biblical story from the garden of Eden through the priesthood of Israel to Jesus Christ—the true and better priest. It culminates with the creation of God's covenant people, called out of the nations to be his priests to the nations. In this concise treatment, David Schrock traces this theme of priesthood throughout the Bible and displays to readers how Jesus, the great high priest, informs the worship, discipleship, and evangelism of the church. Short and Accessible: Traces the theme of priesthood from Genesis to Revelation and gives practical application for the church today Written for Laypeople and Church Leaders: Excellent for students, Bible studies, small groups, and leaders of all levels Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series
Dressed from the Inside Out is for anyone who desires a deeper relationship with God, and who desires to participate in carrying out God’s plans. Along with real-life illustrations, Christine includes prayers and scriptures that will reassure you of God’s promises and empower you to reach a level where the enemy loses his power over your life. This is the time for the body of Christ to come together as an unstoppable force to overthrow all plots and plans that have been put into place by the powers of darkness. God has so many things for his children to accomplish; however, we are often faced with challenges that attempt to rob us of our God-given authority and identity. If believers cannot live victoriously themselves, they will be ineffective with impacting others. In this powerful book, Christine Evans shares revelation that will allow you to enter a realm where: • Your true identity as a believer is discovered and your authority is unleashed • Feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and uncertainty, become ineffective or nonexistent. • Flowing in the gifts of The Spirit enables you to actively participate in advancing the Kingdom of God.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part is a summary of the story the Bible that tells from creation through the human rebellion and God’s remedy in Jesus’s death and resurrection to the consummation and the worldview it reveals. The second part is an exposition of how we should live out our vocation in response to the biblical story and its worldview. The author explains that we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to reveal our union with Christ in his death and resurrection. This enables us to practice the virtues that lead to holiness, which is the foundation of our vocation as kings and priests of God.
The church in Africa is thriving, both numerically and in its boldness and fervour. Yet the challenge of African folk Christianity – a Christianity shaped more by traditional beliefs than the Bible – continues to loom large, and there remains an acute need for life and faith to be biblically informed. In this introduction to biblical theology, Prof. Peter Nyende draws from nearly two decades of experience teaching the next generation of African church leaders. Maintaining the vital importance of a holistic understanding of Scripture and its unified nature, he presents the central story of both Old and New Testaments as the restoration of God’s dwelling and kingdom in the world. He traces this narrative through its many stages of development — creation and fall, God’s covenants with Israel, exile — to its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus, the church and the new Jerusalem. Though written with pastors and theological students in mind, this book is accessible to any who desire to increase their biblical literacy and partner more fully with the work of God and his kingdom.
