Showing results for "The Knowing" in Bibles & Bible Study

"Drawing on resources as diverse as Sufism, Benedictine Monasticism, the Gurdjieff Work, and the string theory of modern physics, Cynthia Bourgeault has crafted her own unique vision of the Wisdom way in this very accessible book, nicely balanced between concept and practice." (Gerald May, senior fellow, Shalem Institute, and author, Addiction and Grace and Will and Spirit)

We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament.

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus's own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God is the revised and expanded edition that helps leaders to promote the classic, best-selling 13-week study and conduct an Experiencing God Weekend or churchwide spiritual growth emphasis.

This riveting exploration of a buried, nearly erased, and still discounted first-century scripture reveals that the foundation of Christianity is far more radical and embracing of personal and collective change than we are often led to believe.

God is continually engaged in the lifelong process of teaching his children. Knowing how helpful and useful picture illustrations are in the learning process, he has provided us with hundreds of them. These pictures have been graciously provided not only to hold our interest as his Word is being taught, but, more importantly, to also simplify what might otherwise be a complex and complicated passage of Scripture.

To know God is a lifelong quest for many. To know God personally is our God-given opportunity and privilege. He makes it possible for us to walk with Him in our daily lives, enjoy His presence, experience His power, know His love, have His peace, and live with fulfillment and true joy! In Knowing God Personally, you will discover: How God makes himself known to us, why God cares about us and wants to have a personal relationship with us, and much more.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

That passage comes from Hebrews 11:6 in the New King James Version of the Bible—and it's a powerfully challenging verse. In his deepest trials of life, Mark embarks on a quest to know God more fully and intimately through prayerful meditation on the Scriptures. He observes that there are three main groups in this world: those who believe in God, those who don't know if there is a God, and those who deny that God exists.

Growing in Knowing God is not about developing religious habits, but a relationship built on sincere responses to God's word. In this modern devotional, learn how God meets us where we are while leading us to where he is.

Many Christians either think theology is too complicated to understand or wonder if it even matters. Jenny Randle and Brayden Brookshier believe Christians are missing out if they leave theology to pastors and scholars.

God’s eternal kingdom is unveiled with Jesus Christ presenting His Father’s mansions to all those named in the Lamb’s book of like.

While Christians generally acknowledge that the Bible is God's Word, many of us lack robust confidence in the reality of its trustworthiness. We may not be sure if we really believe what we read. But the more we understand how Scripture came to be, the more we discover its power and truth. Historian Susan Lim unpacks how the history of the Bible bolsters our faith and anchors us through the changing tides of time. The story of Scripture, while messy and complicated at times, is also the story of how God shepherded his people throughout the centuries in and through these writings.

A book that calls us to be a composite of two women--Mary and Martha--who take time to know Jesus better and whose theology informs and emboldens their ministries to others.

Grandpa W. was the only person who'd ever shown Levi loving care and kindness. Now, at 34 years old, Levi is left to face the challenges of life with nobody to lean on. In an attempt to find something, anything, to remember his grandpa by, Levi stumbles upon an old memento. However, this memento brings up nothing but anger and frustration. It reminds him of the awful experiences he had in church involving judgmental people who only cared about how you acted, not whether you were okay on the inside.
