In every generation, the church stands in dire need of God-called
people to preach the Word with precision and power. Preachers who
will not replace sound theology with culturally palatable
soundbites. Preachers who will clearly and faithfully share the
gospel and inspire those in their churches to live godly lives.
Through in-depth biblical analysis and inspiring examples from
church history, Steven J. Lawson paints a picture of God's glory
magnified through faithful preaching, reclaiming the high ground of
biblical preaching for the next generation. With helpful advice and
practical guidance gleaned from 50 years in ministry, Lawson helps
aspiring preachers know if they are called to preach; understand
the qualifications for ministry; and develop, improve, and deliver
strong expository sermons that illuminate the Word of God in a dark
world.
Nestled in a few verses in Luke's Gospel is a Jesus who would not
have been tolerated today: He was not politically correct and He
certainly did not try to save people's feelings. Steven Lawson
unpacks these few verses, looking at the unashamed honesty,
passion, and urgency with which Jesus explains the life-long cost
involved in choosing to follow Him. True Christianity is the
biggest sacrifice any person ever makes ... but it is in pursuit of
the most precious prize ever glimpsed.

Digital imaging can alter a picture so fast it leaves people
asking, "What is reality?" Have we bought into a user-friendly,
"designer" God of our own? In his eighth provocative primer on
Christian living, Pastor Steven Lawson asks if we're seeing a true
picture of God these days, or a distorted one designed to fit a
popular image on the present cultural canvas? Lawson tackles the
timely topic on the personal and greater church levels.
Non-condemning, Made in Our Image alerts readers to the dangers of
a socially constructed deity and inspires them to "accept no
counterfeits" for the true, living, sometimes "socially incorrect"
God.
The single most important event in a person's life is the new
birth. Yet, this is also one of the most neglected doctrines in the
church. Many Christians would be hard-pressed to describe exactly
what the new birth is, let alone what it means to the rest of their
walk with God. What happens when we are born again? Does everything
in our lives change immediately? Is it just a kind of spiritual
do-over, a chance to get it right this time? What happens when we
fail? Does it mean we weren't really born again to begin with? With
a pastor's heart and a professor's insight, Steven Lawson carefully
examines the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus found in John 3
to uncover the nature of this spiritual rebirth. He shows you the
necessity of the new birth, how God changes our hearts through it,
and what follows after, from baptism and involvement in a local
church to handling doubts and setbacks. This book is perfect for
believers who want to understand what happened when they believed
and for non-Christians who are curious about what a new life in
Christ is all about.
