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.

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.

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.

Estamos en guerra. No con otro país ni con terroristas domésticos, ni con una nueva y siniestra inteligencia artificial, sino contra las mentiras. La decisión no es entre pelear o no pelear, sino entre ganar o rendirnos. El problema no es que digamos mentiras, es que terminamos viviéndolas.

In this audio Bible study, author and pastor Jay Kim guides small-group members through Paul's letter to the believers in Colossae, revealing what his words meant to his original readers . . . and how they apply to us today.

In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Christ’s Church understand what it means to shepherd the flock of God. With Scripture as their foundation, they teach how elders should be chosen and appointed, what elders should be like, and the difficult work elders must do. They then combine hundreds of years of church history with their own experiences of ministering to God’s sheep—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, black and white, local and international.

In the book of Acts, through only song and worship, Paul and Silas shook the foundation and opened all the doors of the prison where they were held. Not only was the earth shaken, but also the spiritual world, as souls were saved that night, and the mighty name of Jesus was proclaimed in a destitute and avoided place. The often neglected and forgotten sector of prison ministry is an untapped potential power source in the current spiritual battle of today's dark times. Help me enlist and encourage the warriors and soldiers of God who can find purpose again in prison through prayer.

Our goal as Christians is never simply to build our own tribe. Instead, we seek the peace and prosperity of the city or community in which we live through a gospel movement led by the Holy Spirit, a movement united by the gospel of Jesus Christ, a common mission to reach and serve others, and a commitment to be gracious and generous to those who disagree with you. In Serving a Movement, best-selling author and pastor Timothy Keller looks at the nature of the church’s mission and its relationship to the work of individual Christians in the world.

The Lord has called pastors and other spiritual leaders to train the saints so that every believer can be involved in ministry and become mature in Christ. As each believer fulfills what the Lord has called him to do, a wonderful thing happens. God begins to build His church through His people from house to house and in each community. Ministry does not just happen in our church meetings; it happens at our schools, our places of work, and in our homes as we reach out to others.

We long for a good life, a beautiful life, a kind life. But clearly that’s not the world we live in. How did we lose goodness, kindness, and beauty? And more important, how do we get them back into our lives? These are the two questions crying out in our streets, homes, churches, and from deep within our souls. Pastor and author Rich Villodas is convinced that only Jesus offers a way of being human that is both strong and tender enough to tear down the walls of hostility we experience daily.

A gripping tale of escape from Egypt, The Stranger at Our Shore is the true story of one young man’s journey out of Islam into new life in Christ. Through his remarkable testimony, Chicago pastor Joshua Sherif calls on the Western Church to reconsider the plight of the modern-day sojourners in our land—the strangers at our shore and the ones living right next door—and to return wholeheartedly to its first charge: making disciples. Any believer will walk away from this book feeling less intimidated and better equipped to disciple people who are different than them.

Demystifying grace, holiness, and what it means to live into God's mission as a woman made in His image. Through intimate story and deep study of the Bible, Jess Connolly—beloved author of You Are the Girl for the Job—casts a fresh vision for what it looks like to live set apart as women on holy ground in today's culture of confusion.

After years of working in the beauty industry, Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer became disheartened by the false, contradictory messages about what defines a woman's worth. They saw women who were lost and wandering, endlessly seeking security and approval. So Maher and Speer made it their mission to help Christian women uncover their valuable identity in Jesus Christ. In Her True Worth, Maher and Speer reveal what God intended your identity to be in the beginning, how sin corrupted it, how Christ has redeemed it, and how to live securely in that identity.

Would you be a disciple of Jesus? This book is the second on the subject of the Empire of the Risen Son. As book one dealt with the Kingdom of God conceptually, this book deals with the Kingdom in practical terms. What does it mean, or require, to be a part of this Kingdom?

Renowned theologian J. I. Packer believed that Christianity is not automatic and must be learned by new believers and mature Christians alike. In Growing in Christ, Packer offers listeners an easy-to-follow road map for studying theological topics, including the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and baptism. Each chapter helps both new and lifelong believers examine what Packer calls "the intellectual ABCs" of the gospel so they can grow in faith.

Ask Christians what they expect to happen to them after they die, and most will say they will go to heaven. And they’ll probably say that they will meet Jesus and hope to hear Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant.” But many believers know they are not living up to God’s calling on their lives. In fact, many might even admit their lives don’t honor God at all. Author Ken Harrison masterfully uses his stories as a Los Angeles police officer in one of the deadliest areas of the country to explain and illustrate deep truths from God’s Word.

À travers toutes ses activités quotidiennes, le pasteur ne doit pas perdre de vue son objectif ultime : la sanctification du peuple de Dieu. C'est là le cœur du projet de Dieu pour les chrétiens. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur rappelle aux pasteurs de ne pas oublier la raison pour laquelle ils passent d'innombrables heures à préparer des sermons, à rendre visite à des personnes malades, à conseiller et à célébrer des mariages, surtout lorsque la ligne d'arrivée semble lointaine et qu'ils sont tentés d'abandonner.

Liderar un grupo celular de éxito y mantener en sus reuniones un clima dinámico no es únicamente cuestión de voluntad: es cuestión de técnica. Muchos líderes de células no se dan cuenta de que, con frecuencia, su fracaso a la hora de crear una atmósfera excepcional, llena de poder de Dios y válida para transformar vidas, es debido a que ignoran el modo de hacerlo. Cualquier líder de un grupo celular encontrará fácil lograr en las reuniones un ambiente agradable y conseguir que los asistentes no tan sólo salgan con ganas de volver, sino incluso de traer a otras personas.

Few things bring more immediate scrutiny and impassioned angst among young adult Christians today than hearing the words “purity culture.” Serious flaws from purity culture deserve to be scrutinized, especially given its lasting negative effects on some raised in the movement. Many Christians today reject the movement—and all that it stood for—wholesale. However, we can’t ignore the clear sexual ethics of the Bible.
