For We Walk By Faith
Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this faith-filled devotional. Promotion is in God’s hand but diligence is in yours. God has given you the ability to walk. It’s time to walk by faith, and not by sight. Walk out that vision. Take the first step. Step into purpose. Let God lead your steps as you read this timely message.
Faith of Our Fathers
What does true, genuine faith look like? Go deeper in your faith by studying a different person from faith’s “Hall of Fame” in Hebrews 11. Examine the fearful, reverent faith of Noah; the obedient, hopeful faith of Abraham; the impossible faith of Sarah; the worshipping faith of Jacob; the self-denying faith of Moses; and the saving faith of Rahab.
Faith/Works Studying the Book of James
The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works. Join Matt Chandler for 13 days going verse-by-verse through the book of James.

Dangerous Faith
The book of Acts tells the exciting story of the first three decades of the early church. Beginning with the ascension of Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the book takes us through a roller-coaster ride of wondrous healings, explosive church growth and miraculous conversions.
But along with all this good news, there’s a darker undercurrent to the book. There is violence and opposition and death. Apostles are flogged, Stephen gets stoned to death, Saul the hunter becomes Paul the hunted, Peter is thrown into jail, James gets beheaded. And the book ends with Paul under house arrest in Rome.
The reaction of the authorities – the arrests, beatings, banishments and executions all happened because the faith being proclaimed by the first followers of Jesus was dangerous. Here’s the thing: without this persecution, the gospel would never have spread in the way it did. It is precisely because of the persecution, because of the pains and the chains and the floggings and the martyrdoms that the gospel spreads to the ends of the earth.
And today the same thing is happening around the world. Today, Christians are being persecuted and attacked, and still the Kingdom of God of growing.

Mere Christianity
In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. Bringing together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War Two from his three previous books The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith.
