What makes for good preaching?

In this accessible volume--written for preachers and preachers in training--pastor David Helm outlines what must be believed and accomplished to become a faithful expositor of God's Word.

In addition to offering practical, step-by-step guidance for preachers, this short book will equip all of us to recognize good preaching when we hear it.

This unique resource is designed to help children and adults grow in their understanding of the big picture of the Bible--the overarching story of God's unconditional love for the world and the good news about Jesus. Containing 45 questions related to God, the Bible, and faith in Christ, this basic teaching tool features answers quoted directly from the ESV Bible intended to help Christians understand and memorize God's Word. Families will find support and encouragement in this simple yet powerful resource aimed at helping God's people hide his Word in their hearts.

Here is a book for all who have a healthy uncertainty about life's big questions--Where did I come from? Is there a God? Does this God care about me? The authors believe that the answers are found where Christianity began--with the introduction of God and His work in the book of Genesis. Using the Socratic method, they challenge readers to wrestle with Scripture itself rather than with systematic questions. This candid conversation with Genesis is an ideal apologetic for today's postmodern culture.

Parents want to teach their children about the Bible and God's love for the world. But it can be hard to know where to start or how to communicate the deep truths of God's Word to young minds. Designed as a complementary resource for the best-selling Big Picture Story Bible, this family devotional offers parents a year's worth of material for teaching their kids about God, the Bible, humanity, and salvation. Intended for families to use three times per week for 5-10 minutes a night, each brief lesson begins with a "Big Picture" memory verse, followed by a short passage of Scripture, a devotional paragraph reflecting on how the passage connects to the Bible's overarching story, and two reflection questions for the whole family to ponder and discuss.

Everyone experiences trials at some points in their lives. But the Bible is clear that Christians have nothing to fear in the long run in light of God's sovereignty and love for his people. In this stirring exposition of 1 and 2 Peter and Jude, pastor David Helm explores these three New Testament letters in depth, reminding readers that suffering precedes future glories for anyone who claims Christ as Lord and Savior. An ideal resource for pastors and teachers looking to connect the Bible's message to the everyday lives of Christians, this commentary touches on a number of important themes, such as finding encouragement in Christ, avoiding false teaching, what it means to contend for the faith, and how to finish life well.
