His joy? In this 8-week Bible study, An Unexpected Revival: Experiencing God&’s Goodness through Disappointment and Doubt, you will encounter a unique picture of revival through Ezekiel&’s prophecies. God chose to spark revival through people who seemed counted out, cast aside, and disregarded. Ezekiel reveals that we are not the first people to believe our doubts and doubt our beliefs when circumstances spiral out of control. But God pursues us with His goodness desiring to bring revival to our broken hearts. Through a study of the book of Ezekiel, God offers an invitation to: — experience His faithfulness when surrounded by uncertainty— reignite our hope instead of losing heart— realize the call of God, reawakening us to our purpose— rest in contentment rather than dwell in disappointment An Unexpected Revival sparks a fire in our longing heart to feel renewed excitement in our relationship with God. Instead of going through the motions, checking the boxes and wondering why God feels so far away, Ezekiel teaches us to come close and invite God to fill us with fresh fire. God offers His joy, peace, and purpose to any who seek it. Do you long for revival?This 8-week study will also include video teaching through Vimeo.Predicting Jesus: A 6-Week Study of the Messianic Prophecies of Isaiah
By Kim Erickson. 2022
Predicting Jesus is a six-week women&’s Bible study from author and Bible teacher Kim Erickson on the book of Isaiah.…
It is a verse-by-verse study of Isaiah&’s prophecies about Jesus and their fulfillment in the New Testament. It also includes contemporary application, weekly homework, reflection and prayer, and discussion questions for possible weekly small group interaction. Teaching on Isaiah is deeply personal to Kim as reading through it was transformative in the aftermath of her young son&’s death: &“Reading so many words that actually came true, some hundreds of years later, confirmed the character of God for me. Deep in my heart, I finally let go. I let go of the world&’s effort to shame me into thinking it was all a sham. I let go of human logic. I let go of the paralysis of analysis. The focus of this study—Isaiah&’s prophecies regarding Christ—reveal so much about God: His power, His nature, His plans. We can trust Him to do what He says He is going to do. I pray women use this book to challenge their current mindsets, check their understanding, and push forward in their faith in Jesus and the Bible.&”Living By the Book: The Art and Science of Reading the Bible

By Arthur E. Smith. 1956
Since time began men have vied with each other in erecting buildings beautiful in architectural design and material to commemorate…
a name, an event, or to serve in their worship of God.David&’s son Solomon acknowledged by Christians and non-Christians for his scholarly wisdom during a reign of forty years was responsible for the erection of a famous beautiful Temple. Detailed descriptions and measurements are given of Solomon&’s Temple in the Bible.However, more Christians direct their attention and study to the Old Testament Tabernacle than to Solomon&’s Temple. Many Christians may be able to tell more about the Taj Mahal or the Mosque of Omar than about the Temple and pattern of ritual executed within it by the people of Israel.You will be amazed and delighted to find how much the Temple reveals of scriptural truth for the Christian today. The structure, the utensils, the color scheme—all speak of God&’s work for, His dealings with, his people and, transcending all, of His glory.The many illustrations in the book with their descriptions will enhance and deepen your study as they elucidate scriptural truth, perhaps hitherto hidden from you. The author seeks to edify you, not to add merely another book to your Christian library.Come now, how much study time have you given to the study of Solomon&’s Temple, or how familiar are you with it? At nominal cost to you, here is your opportunity to add precious Christian truth to your present store of Bible knowledge.The Visual Word: Illustrated Outlines of The New Testament Books

By Abraham Kuruvilla. 2013
Privilege the Text! spans the conceptual gap between biblical text and life application by providing a rigorous theological hermeneutic for…
preaching. Kuruvilla describes the theological entity that is the intermediary between ancient text and modern audience, and defines its crucial function in determining valid application. Based on this hermeneutic, he submits a new mode of reading Scripture for preaching: a Christiconic interpretation of the biblical text, a hermeneutically robust way to understand the depiction of the Second Person of the Trinity in Scripture.In addition, Kuruvilla&’s work provides a substantive theology of spiritual formation through preaching: what it means to obey God, the Christian&’s responsibility to undertake &“faith-full&” obedience to divine demand, and the incentives for such obedience—all integral to understanding the sermonic movement from text to application.Privilege the Text! promises to be useful not only for preachers, and students and teachers of homiletics, but for all who are interested in the exposition of Scripture that culminates in application for the glory of God.Unlocking the Bible Story: New Testament Volume 4 (Unlocking The Bible Ser. #4)

For all who are wondering how the pieces fit into the jigsaw of God's revelation, Colin Smith has provided an…
answer, which is refreshingly simple, biblically accurate, and will prove phenomenally helpful to the serious Bible student and the new beginner alike. — Alistair Begg, senior pastor, Parkside ChurchIn Unlocking the Bible Story, Colin Smith moves gradually through portions of the Bible to unfold its narrative and explain major themes. In volume 4 he moves through the New Testament epistles, which contain the most crystalized expression of Christian theology and practice. Christ is the crux of the entire Bible story, from the first page to the last. Volume 4 encourages and strengthens readers to discover the life-changing truth of the gospel as articulated in the New Testament epistles.Includes the study guide formerly sold separately. One of the most urgent needs in the church today is for a crisp and comprehensive knowledge of the Bible's storyline. To grasp how the sacred history moves from Genesis to Revelation not only brings fresh insight into how the Bible hangs together, and what each part contributes to the whole, but also is crucial for developing a Christian worldview. Colin Smith has met these needs admirably. I hope these volumes will circulate widely and be read and re-read. — D. A.
