A Theological Continental Divide

A Theological Continental Divide Part 6 of The Book of Jesus, Chapter 4 — Not Just a Carpenter: The Ministry of Jesus Christ calls us not to be ‘in the audience’; he calls us to a deeply devoted life of a disciple. It’s crossing a continental divide, theologically. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

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. True worshippers are not a church service. They are literally the greatest evangelists in the world.…

Jesus Announces a New Birth

Jesus Announces a New Birth Part 2 of The Book of Jesus, Chapter 4 — Not Just a Carpenter: The Ministry of Jesus The Kingdom of God can only be entered into in a spiritual way by doing this: [look] up, and trust and believe in the Son of God. The Holy Spirit is the only one who gives birth and brings the eternal holy Spirit of God to a life—and that’s why [Jesus says], “You must be born again.”…

GIC 2020: Commitment Sunday

To wrap up our week-long Global Impact Celebration, we invited some of LifeWay’s global missions partners to share their experience and insight with us, and to pray for us and with us for God’s work—and our partnership with him—around the globe. Partnership in the gospel means partnering with God in your own life and personal mission field. It also means partnering with others to participate in the greater mission to make disciples of all nations. As part of the Global…

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. The hopes and dreams that we have. 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

Shattered

The Book of Jesus, Part 3: Shattered The real truth of a shattered man? Left to ourselves, there is no hope…without what God laid out in Genesis 3:15. … We have the promise of the coming Savior. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Who is Jesus: The Most Essential Truth of All

The Book of Jesus, Part 1Who is Jesus: The Most Essential Truth of All I think much more important than W.W.J.D. ought to be W.I.J., which is: Who…Is Jesus? Who is this Christ? What does he not only stand for, but who is he really? If I call myself a Christian, a Christ follower, I want to learn then, to find out who this Christ really is.

The Battle in Our Time

The Book of Jesus, Introduction: The Battle in Our Time The only real battle [in this world] is actually a war: the war for the souls of men. And it can only be beaten—it can only be faced in its entirety—with the eternal truth from the almighty God. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Sower and the Seeds

As a believer myself, as one who has been challenged to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, I, too, now can sow the seeds of the gospel in this world. BILLY ARNOLD 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. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Rich Fool

Be rich toward God. That’s a disciple of Jesus Christ. … Ask God to really help you learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, who takes each possession seriously, each relationship seriously, each day seriously. Enjoy your days—but don’t waste them on the things that do not last. Live for him. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

If personal pride is the root of your life, then I can promise you that the product of your life will be found only in what you (and I) can bring to the table. … [but] we are called to be right before God … and that only happens when we come humbly before the almighty God. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Good Shepherd

There is a good shepherd who wants to lead your life. He’s not the hired hand. He will not abandon you. He will not forsake you. And he’s waiting for you to listen to his voice and follow him through everything. Why? Because, he says, “I am the gatekeeper. I am the good shepherd, the perfect shepherd who protects your soul.” BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

The Persistent Widow

God’s Divine Delay:God says, ‘I have something for you and I will bring this on to you.’… God doesn’t delay because, ‘You don’t deserve it! You go home and be a better person!’ He divinely delays so we can grow in our trust and our faith…our trust in the eternal, heavenly Creator Father. BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Fishing Net

I must remain alert at all times to the irrevocable and irretrievable finality of my life. But in the middle of that…is the fact that [the end] will come when God says there’s a completeness to it all—there’s a completeness to the parable of the fisherman that says, “We’re done fishing! We’re done! The nets are full!” BILLY ARNOLD Download the discussion guide

Jonah and Justice

There is no real justice unless it is found at the foot of the cross. … I can only find justice at the foot of the cross. I can only find reconciliation when I bring others to the foot of the cross as well.” Billy Arnold
