The apostle Paul wrote a second letter to the Corinthian church, as false teachers had begun to infiltrate and poison their fellowship. After he sent Titus as his representative to deal with the situation and most of the believers repented, Paul wrote to express his joy and reestablish his authority, which had been confirmed by the hardships he suffered for the gospel. In this verse-by-verse study of 2 Corinthians, Skip Heitzig teaches about the purpose of our sufferings and how we can be Jesus' hands and feet in the midst of trials and difficulties.

We, as a civilization, were not the first to invent and detonate a nuclear weapon. You would not know that weapons of mass destruction—WMD—information is contained in the Old Testament texts because the evidence is not clear-cut and, therefore, not in-your-face type. The Bible interpreters usually employ unnecessary religious iconography to describe events that are simply irreligious. We fail to interpret the Bible according to the authors’ intended meaning. Today, it has become the fad to dismiss the well documented events in the Bible as mythological fairy tales. They do this to ...

In this new audiobook, Hall makes the airtight case that America's Founders were not deists; that they did not create a "godless" Constitution; that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state; that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; and that they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons. In addition, Hall explains why and how the Founders' views are absolutely relevant today.

THE SUBJECT OF SONSHIP that Apostle Greg Hood has chosen for this book, Sonship of the Kingdom, is vital for our times. Its biblical understanding is indeed life-changing. Sadly, because of nominal religion’s portrayal of Father God, much of our world has the wrong perspective of who God really is. Sonship According to the Kingdom is the enlightenment we need to further our understanding, indeed, our relationship, with Father God. So many live in fear of our great God, not realizing his loving, tender, and gracious nature toward his children. He is not out to get us if we mess up. Let’s...

Although many have recorded the Bible over the years, no one could ever match Scourby's unparalleled and majestic reading. The combination of Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible is an incomparable hearing experience. Chicago Tribune wrote that “Alexander Scourby has the greatest voice ever recorded”.

First-century Jews converted to Christianity in droves because they understood Jesus fulfilled what was foreshadowed in their Sacred Scriptures. Because the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament was so Christocentric, they could easily see Jesus as the Paschal Lamb, the Last Supper as a new Passover, and Mary as the Ark of the Covenant. Other stories, too, such as the story of Jonah and the large fish, Jael and Judith, Rahab the prostitute, Boaz and Ruth, Noah’s Ark, the crossing of the Jordan, and the water from the Rock that Moses struck – were all seen as pointing to Christ, ...

No one disputes their celestial glory — dazzling, dramatic, and perhaps somehow meaningful. But how? What is it about the 12 major constellations in our night sky that has captivated almost everyone throughout history from ancient stargazers searching the skies with naked eyes to modern astronomers scanning the stars through incredibly powerful telescopes. There are those who claim the stars give each of us personal information based on the date of our birth. But we know better, of course. Are the positioning of the stars entirely random? If so, why do they tell such a powerful story? Is ...

Why does the Bible contain so many stories of hurting people? Though their situations vary, their conditions don't. They have nowhere to turn. Yet before their eyes stands a never-say-die Galilean who majors in stepping in when everyone else steps out. Lucado reminds us that the purpose of these portraits isn't to tell us what Jesus did-but rather to remind us what Jesus still does.

Large numbers of atheists, humanists, and conspiracy theorists are raising one of the most pressing questions in the history of religion: "Did Jesus exist at all?" Was he invented out of whole cloth for nefarious purposes by those seeking to control the masses? Or was Jesus such a shadowy figure - far removed from any credible historical evidence - that he bears no meaningful resemblance to the person described in the Bible?
