Healer and Ruler

Healer and Ruler Part 4 of The Book of Jesus, Chapter 4 — Not Just a Carpenter: The Ministry of Jesus Why would we sacrifice everything to a holy God? Because he is holy. He wants to totally rule over the brokenness of you and me. And that theology does not come naturally. What comes naturally is, ‘Fix it for me, God—and let me live my own life.’ [What does] not [come] naturally is when we let him rule over…

True Worship

True Worship Part 3 of The Book of Jesus, Chapter 4 — Not Just a Carpenter: The Ministry of Jesus For a moment [the Samaritan woman] was grabbing a glimpse of what it meant to be totally restored back into that worshipping relationship that she had, deep down inside, known that she’d constantly missed—and it was centered and focused on Jesus, and Jesus alone.

Remember

The Book of Jesus, Part 6: Remember Remembering does two things. It looks back and says, ‘What has he done?’ … Looking forward it’s saying, ‘I get to, from this point forward, be a person of a new life, in a new faith, in a new way.’ BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Sacrifice

The Book of Jesus, Part 5: Sacrifice I bring to the table my sacrifice … which frankly does include: the family. The money. The life. The mindset. The directions of life.

My sacrifice is the acknowledgement of my worship to God. … [As Warren Wiersbe wrote,] ‘The Christian who fails at life fails first at the altar.’ BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Covenant

The Book of Jesus, Part 4: Covenant This word covenant is so important that unless we grapple with it and try to discover what it means, we can never fully realize what God wants to see in us—because what he wants to see in you and in me is the image of his Son. He wants you to be a full daughter, and a full son, in the house of God. He wants to restore that image in you. And…

The Lost…

‘What is the priority of the church?’How would you answer that question? If you were asked the question, ‘What is the priority of your life as an individual Christian,’ how would you answer it? As followers of Jesus, how we answer it is not nearly as important as how he would answer it—and we know the answer to that question. DON TURNER Download the discussion guide

The Good Samaritan

Meeting people at the foot of the cross, no matter who they are, literally breaks down and moves the limits of humanity that I know as a human being. … God calls us to risky places, and he calls us to risky people…because he allows me to be a divine partner in what he’s doing.
