An exploration of how God guides his people in their daily decisions.
This book is about a sentence 40 years in the making: "My aim is to preach the gospel by prayerfully expounding the Bible to the people God has given me to love" (Phillip Jensen). Join Phillip Jensen and Paul Grimmond as they explore each phrase in this carefully wrought statement, and show not only why faithful, powerful, biblical preaching is so important, but how to go about it. --from publisher website.
This book from Phillip Jensen and Tony Payne will help you understand and apply what the Bible says about prayer.
Expository guide to 1 & 2 Timothy that can be read as a book; used as a devotional; and utilised in teaching and preaching Paul is reaching the end of his ministry. Timothy needs help in his. And so the apostle writes to his young friend and protege, urging him to guard the gospel, preach the gospel, and live the gospel. Phillip Jensen opens up these letters for us, calling readers to do just what Timothy did-to love Christ and teach truth in our generation, and to teach others to do the same. This accessible, absorbing expository guide opens up this book for new and mature Christians alike. It is more applied than a typical commentary, making it a great resource for personal devotion, as well as useful for leading small group studies or sermon preparation.
Phillip Jensen and Tony Payne take a look at what the Bible teaches about sex, and at what this means in the sexual climate of the new millennium. In doing so, they give Christians clear and compelling reasons for standing apart and being different from the world around them; but they also provide a challenge to the non-Christian person who realises that something is very wrong with the model of sexuality we are now living with, post the sexual revolution.
Christian theology didn’t develop in a vacuum. Understanding the story behind the doctrines that have been debated, defined, and defended throughout history is crucial for truly understanding the doctrines themselves. In this groundbreaking resource, professor Gerald Bray traces the history of Christian theology from the early church to the modern era. Structured to parallel the order in which orthodoxy gradually matured in response to challenges from both within and without the church, this volume tells the story of how Christians have struggled to understand, confess, and worship the triune God through the centuries.
"I am writing these things to you so that ... you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God." (1 Timothy 3:14-15), The two letters Paul wrote to his protégé Timothy were inspired by God for our Learning. Nowhere can we get closer to Paul's mind than when he's talking to his true child in the faith, Timothy. Yet these letters were not for Timothy alone-they reveal God's plan for our Lives as well. The context of 1 and 2 Timothy is the Christian mission. Christianity is missionary at heart, so to be a disciple of Jesus is to be a missionary. Jesus himself was on a mission: he was sent by his Father and "came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1-15). Because all Christians are engaged in the mission of Christ, the letters of the great missionary apostle, Paul, are obviously important to us. These seven studies will thrill and challenge you as you see how to walk through life in a way that pleases God, and as you seek, like Timothy, to guard the gospel. Book jacket.

Religious belief is one of the most pervasive and ubiquitous characteristics of human society. Religion has shadowed and illuminated human lives since primitive times, shaping the world views of cultures from isolated tribes to vast empires. Starting from the premise that religion is a concept which can be analysed and compared across time and cultures, What is Religion? brings the most up-to-date scholarship to bear on humankind’s most enduring creation. The book opens with a brief history of the idea of religion, then divides the study of religion into four essential topics - types, representations, practices, and institutions – and concludes with a final, eye-opening chapter on religi...
