Rediscovering God S Love

Rediscovering God's Love by Steve Stellhorn __________________________________

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Written in a clear and down-to-earth fashion that weaves together daily life and faith, The Nearness of God draws extensively on scripture and on key elements of the Catholic faith in order to lead the reader on a journey of rediscovery. The journey follows the story of God’s love and longing for his people, God’s gift of his life to creation, God’s gift of himself in covenant and in Christ.

"A Christian without a church is a Christian in trouble." Since a global pandemic abruptly closed places of worship, many Christians have skipped church life, even neglecting virtual services. But this was a trend even before COVID-19. Polarizing issues, including political and racial strife, convinced some people to pull away from the church and one another. Now it's time to recommit to gathering as brothers and sisters in Christ. In Rediscover Church, Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman discuss why church is essential for believers and God's mission. Through biblical references and personal stories, they show readers God's true intention for corporate gathering: to spiritually strengthen members as individuals and the body of Christ. In an age of church-shopping and livestreamed services, rediscover why the future of the church relies on believers gathering regularly as the family of God. Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks.

The gospel of John, one of the key books of the Bible, reads like an intimate biography—from the pen of “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” This verse-by-verse exploration of John’s gospel brings to life the miracles and majesty of Jesus of Nazareth. Including life-related illustrations for application, the book features Bible passages within text and answers the question, “Who is Jesus?”

In this book Frank Allred explores what the Bible teaches about the amazing love of God. He compares biblical teaching with what is taught in many churches today, showing how far short it falls of the teaching of Scripture. He does not shirk difficult issues, such as how the wrath of God relates to his love for sinners. Nor does he shrink from highlighting what he sees as a sentimentalising of God's love at the expense of his holiness, which results in a departure from the pursuit of vital godliness.

If God is love, why are so many Christians fearful, and why do so many church leaders sound hateful? Two controversial pastors address issues the church won't face, calling us to restore grace as the center of the Christian life. o In If Grace Is True, Pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland revealed their belief that God will save every person. They now explore the implications of this belief, and its power to change every area of our lives. They attempt to answer one question: If we took God's love seriously, what would our world look like? Gulley and Mulholland argue that what we believe is crucial and dramatically affects the way we live and interact in the world. Beliefs have power. The belief in a literal hell where people suffer eternally has often been used by the Church to justify hate and violence, which contradicts what Jesus taught about love and grace. The authors present a new vision for our personal, religious, and corporate lives, exploring what our world would be like if we based our existence on the foundational truth that God loves every person. Gulley and Mulholland boldly address many controversial issues people in the pews have wondered about but churches have been unwilling to tackle. For too long, the Christian tradition has been steeped in negativity, exclusion, and judgment. Gulley and Mulholland usher us into a new age––an age where grace and love are allowed to reign.
