Investigaciones exhaustivas han demostrado que lo que más contribuye al éxito o fracaso de un programa eclesial de grupos celulares es la calidad del asesoramiento que aporte en su grupo cada uno de los líderes de célula. Con frecuencia, muchas de las personas que dirigen grupos celulares aportan la mejor voluntad, pero no entienden demasiado cuales son sus obligaciones y qué es lo que se espera de ellos. Esta circunstancia no es achacable a ellos mismos, la causa hay que buscarla más bien en una labor incompleta y deficiente por parte del pastor o supervisor general. 

Rebecca McLaughlin shares important biblical context to help all listeners see why the Gospels should be taken seriously as historical documents.

Mucha gente piensa en Dios solo en términos de Su amor. Pero la Biblia habla de la santidad de Dios más que de cualquier otro atributo. ¿Qué significa cuando los ángeles declaran que Dios es «Santo, Santo, Santo»? Y siendo personas pecadoras, ¿cómo es que podemos entrar en Su presencia?...

New Life in Christ is a multivolume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theology and for instruction in Christian living.

Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.

Have you ever wondered why the subjects of giving and material stewardship cause so much controversy in the Church? Do you ever struggle with questions like: To whom should I give? How much should I give? How should I give? and For what reasons should I give? If so, this book is for you. It explores what the Bible, particularly the New Testament, teaches about Christian giving from a stewardship perspective.

Two fundamental truths are demonstrated in this audiobook: that a pure heart is a gift from God which should be treasured as soon as it is received and that only those who have a pure heart will see God. For having a pure heart and being holy are one and the same thing. The audiobook conveys a message on sanctification that is not limited to mere exhortations on the need to have a pure heart. Much more, it is about satisfying the hunger of those who seek to know how to receive a pure heart and keep it continually pure. 

Most believers possess certainty of their roles as priests. They engage in personal prayer and intercession without much hesitation. However, the same people hardly consider themselves "kings", even though the Bible calls us "kings" before we are called “priests"! Awaken the King in You focuses on changing this paradigm by reexamining the scriptures that emphasize our "kingly" role. It paints a picture of what our lives could look like once we embrace this new thinking. Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we unpack the truth of who you are—a king before a priest!

Thinking like Jesus fosters a change in the 21st-century virgin’s mindset as a bride of Christ living life with purpose. This type of thinking empowers followers to see themselves as the beloved bride of Christ and no longer as virgins, knowing that their purpose has set them apart from others. The mindset of the 21st-century virgin often gets stuck at the altar of salvation. They find it very challenging to transform and be changed into a new creature in Christ Jesus. But they can share the same thought process as Jesus, and the kingdom of God and its righteousness is theirs.

Celebrity—defined as social power without proximity—has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits. In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty explores the ways fame has reshaped the American church, explains how and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement, and identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years.

Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please...

Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters—something to be marveled at and enjoyed. In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it.
