Sowing Seeds of Change

Sowing Seeds of Change
By Michael D. Crane

More than half the people on the planet live in cities.  It’s not just our future that’s urban – our present is. What does the Bible say about cities?  How should the church go about reaching those billions of city-dwellers?  Where do our cities fit into the Kingdom of God?  The church needs a comprehensive, gospel-centered response to these questions as we seek to obey God’s call to “seek the welfare of the city” (Jer. 29:7).  (more…)

Shaped By The Gospel

Shaped By The Gospel
By Timothy Keller with Michael Horton and Dane Ortlund

Gospel-centered ministry is more theologically driven than (more…)

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ
By John Piper

Who is Jesus Christ?

You’ve never met him in person, and you don’t know anyone who has.  But there is a way to know who he is.  How?  Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, “Yes, this is truth.”   It’s like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet.  (more…)

Name above All Names
By Alistair Begg & Sinclair B. Ferguson
