It S All About Jesus The Living Word

The Living Word provides an introduction to the Sacred Scriptures and to the unfolding of salvation history, with a particular focus on Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of salvation history. Revelation, both Divine and natural, is explored, as are inspiration, interpretation, and exegesis. The second edition of our popular Living In Christ series offers updated navigation, organizing and synchronizing curriculum across both teacher guides and student books. The student books have shifted from a section-part-article structure to a unit-chapter-article structure where sections become units and a part is now a chapter.

Drawing Closer to Jesus Do you sometimes feel that scripture doesn't seem to apply to your life? Have you desired to connect deeper with Jesus in your everyday circumstances? Have ever read a devotional and felt you needed a Bible dictionary just to understand what the author is trying to say? Are you looking for a quick but meaningful read? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place! In It's All About Jesus the Living Word, you will find: 31 easy-to-read devotionals dedicated to a different topic each day Written-out scriptures that relate to the day's topic Study questions to apply the scriptures Using a casual, conversations style (with a little humor along the way) Deborah shares anecdotal and relatable experiences and then brings them all together with a look at what Jesus has to say about it all. Several scripture passages are quoted for study that connect with the topic. The devotional is closed out with three reflection questions about the reading, and a prayer. Some of the topics covered: I Have Faith...Sort of (Strengthening our faith) Stuck in the Muck (Seeking Jesus) Finishing Your Race (Finishing strong) A Joyful Noise (The heart of worship) The Power of Prayer (Our strongest weapon) LIfe on a Cat's Terms (Having a relationship with Jesus) Chocolate-Sinfully Good (The danger of sin) Spiritual Earplugs (Stubbornness) So grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, and dig into the Word. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in some of these situations! Just remember, Jesus is in the everyday moments of all our lives.

God can do anything, but did you know He has already done everything? Instead of asking the Lord to do something for you - revive you, heal you, bless you, prosper you - accept what He has already done for you through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God has left you precious promises in His Word and those promises belong to you right now through Christ. As you see for yourself what God has already done for you and in you, your walk with Him will become a joy and an adventure you never thought possible. Your faith in Him will be quickened, your heart encouraged, and your feet firmly set on His pathway of victory.

In this accessible treatment of the major themes of the Gospel of John, renowned New Testament scholar Lamar Williamson blends the best of biblical scholarship and a close reading of the Fourth Gospel to meet the practical needs of weekly preaching. A more reflective Gospel in which the risen Jesus speaks in signs and discourses, John does not simply tell stories, but allows us to experience the Word and to see Jesus offering living water to the aridity of the institutional church and bread to the hungry hearts of individual disciples. More than mere exposition,Preaching the Gospel of Johnincludes at the end of each passage three to five possibilities for preaching the text--creative and pertinent suggestions that can help preachers apply the words of the Fourth Gospel to the lives of today's churchgoers. Proclaiming the living Word is a major theme of the Gospel of John, and this clear and insightful commentary captures that message in the preaching moment.
