#BLESSED. Thankful, grateful, blessed. Bless your heart. Bless is a word women tend to throw out like confetti. But do we really know what it means? Is getting a new car or job a blessing? Maybe, but that's not what Scripture tells us it means to be blessed. In Christ Alone is an in-depth study of blessings found only in Christ, as expressed in Ephesians 1. It will challenge the modern use of the word blessed and open our eyes to true blessings that are not temporal. This first book in the Radiant Study Series for women is written to be suitable for group or private study settings.

Paul's letter to the Romans was written to a beautifully diverse group of Jewish and Gentile Christians. While announcing his intentions to visit them soon, Paul offers these believers a deeper understanding of salvation. He encourages them to reflect on their sociocultural roots while also enjoying unity in Christ.In Romans: A Practical Commentary, Brian Poe brings simplicity, understanding, and an easy-to-read guide to Paul's letter to the church in Rome. This chapter-by-chapter look at Romans provides enough depth for serious Bible study, while also offering practical insights that convey meaning for everyday reading. This commentary is ideal for both personal and group study.

Perhaps the single most common admonition in Scripture is the call for God's people to express faithfulness in their lives and in their relationship with God. Just as Isaiah encouraged Ahaz to "stand firm in the faith or you will not stand at all" (Isa 7:9), God demands the same from each of us. The Bible is full of examples of faith, but perhaps more than any other chapter, Hebrews 11 exemplifies and extols the life of faith. Cloud of Witnesses: Ancient Stories of Faith examines the spiritual role models highlighted in this Hall of Faith roll call, looking for what is exemplary about their lives and how their stories can help us be more faithful. Of course, not all the characters mentioned in Hebrews 11 seem like prime candidates for the title "spiritual role model" (Samson, anyone? or Gideon? or Barak? Or... take your pick), so it does no one any good to pretend that these people had no faults. But according to the writer of Hebrews, these flawed individuals show us what a life of faith in a hostile world might look like, and their stories help us "look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.¿¿¿The Berean Study Series is a practical resource, consisting of a series of videos and corresponding study guides (available as a pdf, ebook, or print book) for each lesson.

Use this resource as a congregational summer series or plug the video series in for a quarter of study in an adult Bible class or personal devotion time. May God bless you in your daily walk as you apply the teachings of Christ with much thought and practice.

Luke-Acts is the story about what God brought to a climax in the history of the early community of Jesus' followers. Danker's essay explores the sweeping and inclusive nature of Luke's writings by arguing that Luke directs his message to a broad-spectrum of people in many different locations. This volume examines the ways in which the Third Gospel, as well as the book of Acts, reach out to both the Hebrew and the Hellenist through Luke's placement of Jesus in the context of Israel's history by the use of motifs significant to the Mosaically-oriented hearer and through the use of language interesting to the Hellenistically-oriented found in ancient Greek inscriptions, rhetoric, and philosophy. With a thorough and unequaled knowledge of Luke's original language, Danker offers new insights and a fuller understanding of Luke-Acts to the reader of this book.

Isaiah saw the glory and greatness of God with remarkable clarity. He saw God''s heartbroken disappointment as Israel rejected God. But prophetically, he saw God''s passionate pursuit of God''s people as God constantly called them back to grace. He saw God''s judgment and holiness, but he reveled in God''s majesty and mercy. Majesty and Mercy: God Through the Eyes of Isaiah invites us to see what Isaiah saw. The colossal establishment of the Lord''s house at the top of the mountains. The wondrous suffering servant sent to reconcile the people to God. The rule of righteousness in the hearts of those who believe. The construction of a highway of holiness. Today, God''s people remain a light to the nations, comforted, sustained, and empowered by the Father who loves us intensely. With the voice of a prophet and the heart of a poet, Isaiah calls us to lift our eyes in faith so we can see what he saw.
