Worship is a crucial issue because worship is the most important activity in the Christian life. When Jesus Christ was tempted in the wilderness, the devil offered to Jesus "all the kingdoms" of the world if Jesus would only bow down and worship him (Matthew 4:9). But Jesus responded, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve" (Matthew 4:10). We were created to live in a loving and faithful relationship with God, and our worship is one of the most powerful expressions of that relationship. We were created to worship God, our creator. Moreover, we were saved in order to become worshipers. We worship God because God is our savior. Our eternal destiny depends in part upon our faithful worship of God. This book will lead you through the Bible on a journey toward Spirit-filled worship that honors God, strengthens the Church, and impacts the world. Lee Roy Martin (DTh, University of South Africa) is Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Tennessee USA.

Through the study of the book of Daniel, we learn how to trust God in the midst of challenging times. The first half of Daniel contains stories about Daniel and his Hebrew friends, in which the kings of Babylon threaten to bring the faithful Jews to an end. In each case, however, God overrules the human rulers with amazing interventions that protect the Hebrews. The second half of Daniel contains visions of the end that unveil the deeper dimensions of God's present and future sovereign rule. The visions show that just as God ruled over the life and times of Daniel, God continues to rule over every earthly kingdom. Ultimately, God will bring all human kingdoms to an end, and He will establish His eternal kingdom with Jesus the Messiah as king. Daniel's visions assure us that God is in control and that we can trust in Him. The visions of the end give us vibrant hope so that we can fulfill our mission as faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ until He returns. Even in the face of difficult challenges and persecution, we can live faithfully in the light of the end. This study guide will lead you through an easy six-step process of inductive Bible study: 1. Reading for First Impressions, 2. Reading for Discovering the Facts, 3. Marking the Text, 4. Reading for Transformation, 5. Reading for Interpretation, and 6. Hearing and Obeying God's Word. Through these six steps, you will be guided into deeper discoveries that will enrich your relationship with God and strengthen your faith.

This book is written for those Christians who desire a deeper relationship with God, those who are seeking to be more effective in their service to God, and those who are struggling to find their way in these changing times. Dr. Lee Roy Martin presents valuable guidance from his many years of walking with God and from his extensive experience as a pastor.

From the beginning of the movement until now Pentecostalism has relied heavily upon its preachers-preachers both old and young, male and female, ordained and lay, educated and uneducated. Although preaching has been an important aspect of Pentecostal life and practice, few works have been written on Pentecostal preaching, and fewer still have been written from an academic standpoint. This volume, though not claiming to be comprehensive, begins to meet the need for scholarly reflection upon this important topic. In this multi-authored work, leading Pentecostal theologians come together to construct a contemporary model for the theology and practice of Pentecostal preaching. The writers take into account Pentecostalism's history, theology, ethos, diversity, and global expressions as they offer a distinctive theological vision for Pentecostal preaching. Chapters include the following: A Pentecostal Theology of the Call to Preach - Frank Macchia; Pentecostal Prophetic Preaching - Lee Roy Martin; The Ecclesial Dimension of Preaching - William Kay; The Spirit, Preaching, and the Approach of Jonathan Edwards - John Gordy; A New Testament Apologetic for Women Preachers - John Christopher Thomas; A Theological Apologetic for Women Preachers - Lisa Stephenson; African-American Women Preachers - Antoinette Alvarado; Latino Theology of Pentecostal Preaching - Angel Santiago-Vendrell; Transfiguring Preaching: Proclamation and Theosis - Chris E.

King and the Theology and Practice of Pentecostal Preaching - Tony Moon; Technology and Preaching - Leah Payne; A Critique of Emerging Homiletics - Rick Wadholm; and Pentecostal Homiletic: A Convergence of History, Theology, and Worship - Joseph Byrd. Written for pastors, students, and scholars, this work provides ample resources for anyone who wishes to examine the theology of Pentecostal preaching.

Walter Hollenweger, a recognized expert on the worldwide Pentecostal movement, has argued that Pentecostalism's greatest contribution to the larger Christian tradition has been in the area of worship. It is in the context of worship that people are saved, sanctified, baptized in the Spirit, healed, and filled with the hope of Christ's coming. Despite the importance of worship to the Pentecostal tradition, theologians in the movement have not yet developed a full-fledged theology of worship. In this multi-authored work, leading Pentecostal scholars come together to construct a contemporary biblical theological approach to worship. Seeking to go beyond discussions that focus on style and trends, these writers offer a distinctive theological vision for Pentecostal worship that appreciates the history, diversity, ethos, and global contexts of Pentecostalism. Written for pastors, students, and scholars, this work provides ample resources for those interested in examining the Pentecostal theology of worship. Contributors to this work include biblical scholars, systematicians, and practical theologians. The diversity of voices insures creativity of approaches and freshness of ideas. This second edition includes two new chapters and a longer introduction to Pentecostal worship. Although not a complete theology of worship, this study provides a starting point for exploring important themes from a variety of perspectives.
