In this selection of new sermons, Barbara Brown Taylor walks us through the church year, from the expectancy of Advent to the fires of Pentecost and beyond.

Step Up to God's Calling! How does God want to use you? Not your parents. Not your pastor. Not your friend with all the social media followers. You! The Old Testament leader Joshua is a great example for us to follow as we step up to God's call on our lives. Before Joshua, Moses was the one who spoke to God, performed miracles, and stood up to Pharaoh. But then Joshua had to come out to the front. So what did he do? How did he step up? And what steps can you take to seize the moment for yourself? This 90-day devotional will inspire you to push aside fear and complacency in order to become something more, leading change in your relationships, work, community, and the world. Now is your time.

The second in a series, Insights to Finding Spiritual Peace offers a compilation of Bible studies and commentaries written over more than twenty years. They were born from personal experience and insights from God and originated as monthly prayer letters with a written Bible message. These studies invite you to a deeper spiritual walk with the Lord and nourish and comfort the soul through the stresses and challenges of life. The secrets of the Lord’s purposes are found in the Bible, and as the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to His Word, we gain His insight. It is then we can say, “I understand.” This volume presents a series of “now I understand” moments that can bring you knowledge and comfort.

This collection of Bible studies and commentary seeks to help you recognize and benefit from the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

In this volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary (BCBC) Series, Erland Waltner explains how 1 Peter applies Jesus' teaching on loving the enemy to the life situation of scattered Christians in Asia Minor. Peter empowers believers to be communities of hope, not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their living Lord by word, transformed lifestyle, and doing good.

J. Daryl Charles admits that 2 Peter and Jude are hard for us to understand. Yet he shows how these letters are relevant since the church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. Their apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian faithfulness and faith are absolutely crucial. The church needs such moral exhortation.
