In this four-session study, pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as: Joseph Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, the two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, and the disciples and other followers of Jesus, who found their world turned upside down when the one they believed to be the Messiah was first put to death . . . and then rose again.

I sat in church listening to a charismatic preacher proclaiming the Word of God in an enthusiastic fashion. I was fascinated by the amount of Bible quotations he reeled off in his one-hour message! I was surprised by the fact that though I was a new believer - having been in Christ for just two years - I could complete some of the scriptures he quoted.

The purpose of this study is to prove that Jesus is the King of the Jews. He is the Jewish Messiah that they are still waiting for. He will come in the clouds, and every eye will see him.

The Gospel of Matthew is a bridge between the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament revelation of Jesus, the son of God.

The Holy Spirit causes too much trouble in church today. He tends to make things get emotional and out of control. Right? So maybe the best thing to do is to shut Him down and make Him take a back seat. Because, after all, if it's not in the Bible, then it should not happen in a church service. Right? Without the Holy Spirit's interference everything can be easily managed, easily controlled, and we can get out of church on-time. Everyone seems to have the nice, simple, in-and-out church service that makes us comfortable. Why has the church decided that He is too complicated for people to ...

Religion says, "Change and you can join us." Jesus says, "Join us and you will change." There's a huge difference. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify anyone. In fact, following Jesus almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step. In this eight-session audio Bible study (guide sold separately), pastor and best-selling author Andy Stanley takes small groups on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus' teaching on what it means to follow.

But, Joyful? Far from it. This attitude, though, is far from Biblical. Psalm 100 opens with "Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord." It continues to say we should "Serve the Lord with Gladness." That's hardly the severe image many in the church project to the world. A Joyful Noise takes Psalm 100 phrase by phrase to discover the joy in true religious practice. In this study we discover a joyful ...

In this second Biblical Foundation book, The New Way of Living, we will look at two of the six foundational doctrines of the Christian faith found in Hebrews 6:1-2 - repentance from dead works and faith toward God: Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment (NKJ).

God wants to transform your thoughts and your actions so you will bear good fruit, impact the world, and experience joy in your life. But for this to happen, you must remain in community with Christ so he can instill his life-giving spiritual virtues within you. As you do this on an ongoing basis abiding in the presence of Jesus on a daily basis - the more spiritual fruit you will produce.

Yes, life has a way of taking the life out of us. We often go through challenges that seem so much greater than our strength. But God is telling us that our glory days are still ahead. We only need to grasp that truth and live in faith to realize this promise. We serve a God who fights for us.

Uniquely among the world’s religions, the central claims of Christianity concern not just timeless spiritual truths, but tangible historical events. At the heart of the of the Christian faith are things that are meant to have happened in Palestine between 5 BC and AD 30. It’s as if Christianity happily places its head on the chopping block of public scrutiny and invites anyone who wants to come and take a swing.
