New Bible

More and more, the world is becoming multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Wherever you live, you are coming in contact with people of other ethnic and religious backgrounds. We need to understand how to communicate with them. John wrote his gospel when he was living in Ephesus, a city with a multi-ethic and multi-religious society. People from all over the empire came to Ephesus because it was the political, social and economic center for this region.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus told a simple parable about a family...a father and his two sons. It was a story of rebellion, repentance, and unfathomable grace.

It's a message you need to hear.

Many Christians are intimidated by the book of Revelation. They are convinced that it contains nothing but bad news. And they are further turned off by the great variety of bizarre interpretations of the book. In this book, Dr. Reagan explains that Revelation contains only good news for those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior. Further, he proves that the book can be understood by any Christian who is willing to accept its plain sense meaning.

The letters from Jesus to the Revelation churches must be the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible. Many people dismiss them as too hard, too strange, or too scary. “Did Jesus really say that?” Contrary to what you may have heard, these letters are good news from start to finish. They are love letters from Jesus to all of us, and they reveal the extreme goodness and favor of God. In Letters from Jesus, Paul Ellis unpacks the astonishing good news found in these ancient letters. In them he finds answers to tough questions.

Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior.

These sources, which include references both direct and indirect - from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts - offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed.

In Jesus, the One and Only, Beth Moore introduces you to an intimate God in an up-close and personal portrait of the life of Jesus the Messiah.

One of the world’s leading theologians and biblical scholars introduces the prayer that Jesus gave us. ‘Our Father, who art in heaven …’ When he saw Jesus praying, one of his followers asked him to teach them how to pray. Jesus instructed them in the right words to use. When we say the words of the ‘Our Father’ we pray not only as Jesus taught us but also (in part) we pray in the same way Jesus himself prayed. We are bonded to him in prayer.
