The Apocalypse is the Revelation to John of the end of times.

Stir Up The Gifts is a Biblical study on both books of Timothy. Paul wrote to inspire the young minister in being a leader for a church in Ephesus. God knew that Timothy would deal with a variety of situations and problems. Due to these issues, Paul wrote to the young man for help and instruction. These letters cover everything from how to be a leader, teaching people how to live, navigating societal norms, and being a generally good person in the community. Although this was for Timothy, we, in modern times, can use these letters for our enlightenment as well.

For centuries, Romans chapters 9 through 11 have sparked intense debates over predestination, election, and Israel’s place in God’s plan. Many argue that Paul teaches God predestines certain people for salvation and others for damnation, or that Israel has been replaced by the Christian church. But what if these interpretations miss the mark? This verse-by-verse commentary offers a fresh perspective, challenging traditional views and proposing that election is God’s call to service, not salvation.

We've all heard the phrase: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What about faith? Will your faith thrive in tough times? Do you desire a more resolute faith? The book of Daniel relates the familiar Sunday School stories of the lions' den, the fiery furnace, and some remarkable prophecies, but take some time to investigate these stories more closely. How did Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego possess such a fearless faith? Perhaps no one in the Bible possessed a more resolute faith in God than these individuals.

In a fast-paced, technology-based era when drive-thrus, cell phones, laptops, and Internet banking are the norm, it's sometimes hard to fathom that God doesn't appreciate our frail attempts at spiritual shortcuts. Through the pastoral epistles, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, with insight from Paul's letter to Philemon as well, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe illustrates that working for God's Kingdom requires tenacity, never-ceasing prayer, and protective battle gear that only God can provide.

This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever. He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth. His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming. This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

Ephesians is a wonderful book for Christians who need encouragement during trying times. It was written by the Apostle Paul to the churches in Ephesus but applies to all believers in Christ.

His desire for them is that their eyes be opened to understanding what is the blessed hope of His future calling and that they may know what are the riches of the inheritance in the saints.

Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline.

In Revelation for the Rest of Us, world renowned New Testament scholar and author Scot McKnight explores the timeless message of Revelation and how it disciples readers into dissidents of the ways of the world and empire, calling them to the courageous challenge of faithful, or allegiant, witness.

How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes.
