Ephesians presents readers with a volatile mix of assurance,
exhilarating worship, and forceful exhortation-a bracing challenge
to today's church. The letter convinces Thomas R. Yoder Neufeld
that the grace-gift of faithfulness leads to worship. Power, peace,
and new creation are gifts of grace equipping the church to
participate in God's reconciling embrace.This commentary guides
readers to a life-changing encounter with Ephesians, probing
interpretations, refreshing Christian teaching, and calling
everyone to "walk" accordingly, with a song in heart and throat.

Chalmer E. Faw brings Acts to life for our day. He blends thorough
biblical scholarship with wisdom from extensive and varied
experience in missionary work and Bible teaching. His careful
exposition of the book of Acts is supplemented with literary and
theological discussion.The key word in Acts is witness for Jesus
Christ, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. God's Spirit
anoints the church at Pentecost, leads believers in handling
conflicts between converts new and old, and empowers Christians to
overcome false beliefs and magic. In Acts, Luke tells this dramatic
story with subtle humor. 336 Pages.
Unveiling Empire aims to be a fresh look, with new insights and
interpretations, at the apocalyptic visions described in The Book
of Revelation.'
You have a giant in your life. An adversary that's diminishing your
ability to live fully in Christ. Whatever it may be-rejection,
fear, anger, comfort, or addiction-this giant stands between you
and God's promise...and it must fall. Like with David and the
Israelites, God has a better plan for you than to stand and be
taunted day after day by a 9-foot Goliath. God's plan for you is to
live in victory. In this six-session video Bible study (streaming
code included), Pastor Louie Giglio reveals a twist in the story of
David and Goliath that will help you and your study group see how
God works victories in the lives of his people. This study guide
has everything you need for a full Bible study experience,
including: The study guide itself-with discussion and reflection
questions, activities, video notes, and a leader's guide. An
individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you
don't need to buy a DVD!). Each session will equip you with
practical, hands-on steps to take after engaging in passages from
the Bible and Louie's video talks, which show how living free from
our giants means putting our hope in Jesus. When we do, we get to
watch Goliath fall. Sessions and video run times: Dead but Still

This concise guide by a leading New Testament scholar focuses on the "how to" of interpreting the use of the Old Testament in the New.
This concise guide by a leading New Testament scholar helps readers understand how to better study the multitude of Old Testament references in the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the bestselling Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, focuses on the "how to" of interpreting the New Testament use of the Old Testament, providing students and pastors with many of the insights and categories necessary for them to do their own exegesis. Brief enough to be accessible yet thorough enough to be useful, this handbook will be a trusted guide for all students of the Bible.
Because of language, cultural, time, and geographical barriers
interpreting the minor prophets has at times frustrated and even
defied Old Testament scholars. In response to this frustration,
Robert Chisholm has written this volume. "Interpreting the Minor
Prophets" surveys the structure, message, and theological themes of
each of the twelve minor prophets. But the author does not stop
with a mere survey. As Ryken and others have demonstrated, literary
approaches are sweeping into the arena of biblical studies and,
according to Chisholm, this way of studying the Bible is long
overdue and most welcome. Therefore, he emphasizes the literary and
rhetorical aspects of each prophets' message as the key to
understanding the prophetic books.
"Interpreting the Minor Prophets" is an ideal text or resource
for anyone seeking thorough information on any or all of the minor
prophets.

worship that grasps the realities of individual suffering as well
as the stern demands of social justice. Presenting a stirring fresh
translation of many of the ancient hymns and prayers of the
psalter, Pleins offers new perspectives on their meaning for the
individual as well as for the community, from biblical times to the
present.
Life is a hot mess. There's the bedlam of getting out the door in
the morning. The constant breaking down of our homes and bodies and
the cars we drive. And the institutions that promise to help are
often no better. We are surrounded by the constant disorder of
governments and disappointed by "organized" religion, the very
entities that tell us they can provide us sanity and security.
Instead, they leave us scratching our heads or licking our wounds.
Chaos surrounds us, and at times, it seems to rule our souls, our
families, and our world. But does chaos always end in failure or
flaw? What if chaos was more than the check engine light of lost
causes? What if chaos was the raw material out of which God
creates? In the beginning God brought order from chaos, filling the
chaos with a beautiful creation, and he's been doing it ever since.
Where you and I may experience confusion and disorder, God sees an
opportunity for something new--for a rebirth, a renewal, and a
renovation. God did this in the beginning, he did it again at the
cross, and with renewed vision for our disordered world today, we
look to God to do it again. Inspired by the powerful picture of
creation in Genesis 1:2, author Jessica LaGrone challenges the
hope-destroying belief that God has abandoned us in our broken
relationships, our pain, and our grief. In the midst of our
out-of-control lives, God is there, and he specializes in making
new things from the chaos threatens to drown us. When we experience
chaos in our own lives and everything feels like it is falling
apart, God is just getting started. When the Spirit of God hovers,
chaos can give birth to hope.
Throughout the Gospel of John Jesus poses a series of questions:
"What are you looking for?" "Do you want to be healed?" "Why do I
speak to you at all?" as well as the most poignant, addressed to
Peter, "Do you love me?" Michael Crosby's reflections on these
questions take us into the heart of John's gospel. He highlights an
important theme: the tension between a model of the church that
gives emphasis to the Petrine principle of apostolic authority and
a model of the church -- characterized by the Beloved Disciple --
that gives greater emphasis to loving service and discipleship. As
Crosby shows, it is in balancing the roles of both Peter and the
Beloved Disciple that the church best reflects the spirit of
Christ.
When the Jews were carried off into exile in Babylon, most people
assumed that it was the end of the story. In reality, God was just
getting started. As senior figures in the Babylonian and Persian
Empires, Daniel and Esther would discover that there is no foreign
ground for God. Their faithful obedience would, in fact, lead their
oppressive captors to faith in the God of Israel. God inspired the
Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your
life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you
will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized
chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating
scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to
the Straight to the Heart series.
