The four Gospels are filled with demands straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ. These demands are Jesus' way of showing us who he is and what he expects of us. They are not the harsh demands of a taskmaster. For example, the demand that we come to Jesus is like the demand of a father to his child in a burning window, "Jump to me!" Or like the demand of a rich, strong, tender, handsome husband to an unfaithful wife, "Come home!" What Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as: "Trust and treasure me above all." This is good news! In What Jesus Demands from the World, John Piper has gathered many of Jesus' demands from the four Gospels. He begins with an introduction that puts the demands in a redemptive-historical context, then concisely examines each demand. The result is an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as meditative meat for veteran believers who want to know Jesus better.

Jesus is King. Standing as a central theme of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's kingly authority has profound implications for how we live in the world and interact with those around us. In this reader-friendly commentary, seasoned pastor Doug O'Donnell leads us through the first book of the New Testament, highlighting key themes and offering helpful illustrations for preaching. Drawing on years of pastoral experience, O'Donnell shows how Matthew's various emphases—including Jesus's messianic titles, fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, teaching on the kingdom of heaven, and present and future role as judge—all relate to Christ's kingship. Designed to help pastors faithfully preach God's Word, this commentary ultimately highlights Matthew's call to all people to worship and obey Jesus, our humble King and gracious Savior. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

For much of Christian history, greater focus has been paid to Jesus’ death than to his three years of ministry, and his crucifixion has often been understood primarily as a means to salvation in heaven. But retired pastor Tim Lehman contends that we’ve drastically missed the point by not looking closely at and learning from Jesus’ words and actions before his death. As a result, we lose out on the joy and freedom of living fully as his disciples and experiencing salvation already in this life on earth. In this broad study of Matthew’s Gospel, Lehman challenges readers to view Jesus’ death in light of his life. He urges us not just to believe in Jesus, but to believe Jesus—to take seriously all that he taught and how he lived. As Lehman leads readers along a carefully laid path, Christians and non-Christians alike will have to rethink long-held assumptions: the place of violence in the Christian life; the givenness of division in our modern world; the meaning of “atonement,” “salvation,” and “the kingdom of heaven”; and more. But along the way, we are sure to learn, grow, and, hopefully, come to know more deeply God’s unconditional love for all.

Is baptism in the Holy Spirit the same as being born again? Does God speak directly into the spirit of a person through any other means than the Bible? Can Christians be affected by evil spirits, and if so, can and should they be delivered from them? Does God heal people miraculously today - in their bodies and minds? For some Christians the answers to these questions seem obvious. The things spoken of are parts of their own and their church's daily walk. For some Christians these things are deceptions which may distract from the essentials of the gospel. Sincere - and even passionate - Christians can sincerely and passionately hold views which are poles apart. The author of this book is a family doctor in country N.S.W. in Australia. "I have been a Christian for over 30 years - for almost all of that time in a charismatic experience. However, for much of that time I have been involved with a conservative evangelical church, and have heard its teaching at some length and depth. In this book I am defending Charismatic/Pentecostal beliefs, but I think and hope I am doing so by looking honestly at what the Bible says." In trying to understand these sometimes controversial but always important issues, both through an examination of the Bible and a critique of writings of some influential anti-charismatic evangelicals, this book has a number of aims. One is to demonstrate to evangelicals that Pentecostal Christian beliefs are biblical and true. Another is to provide some ammunition for charismatics to use when they are attacked, and when they begin to wonder, "What if this is just hype'." A third is to seek to understand what could be the spiritual motives for wanting these manifestations of the Holy Spirit not to be seen in the church.

Truth outlines how to win the War on Terror. In order to win, we need to understand the nature of the problem we face. But once we acknowledge the problem, we have to take action to fix it, if we don't fix it we will lose. Truth clearly explains the endemic nature of the problem, but goes farther than that, it provides a solution. Truth outlines the political will that would be required in order to be successful, the change in our foreign policy and the military structure to support that change and the new alliances that would be formed. But most importantly the book creates a vision for the future that moves us past the current problems and allows us to establish peace and gives an opportunity for freedom in those parts of the world under the heavy burden of a theocratic totalitarianism.
