God is love. Love one another. We teach these to children and new Christians, but what exactly do we mean (and do they hear) by love? Our culture offers a multitude of understandings and experiences through which the meaning of love can be filtered. We in the church can become sloppy in our proclamation and embodiment of love as a result of those filterings, unless we remain grounded in the Biblical moorings of love revealed in the narratives of both the Old and New Testaments.The Greatest of These offers an extended exploration of love 's qualities in scripture. Each of the six chapters will begin with a single page introduction to the chapter theme. The bulk of each chapter will then consist of six individual readings (2.5 to 3 pages each) that reflect on a Biblical passage related to the chapter 's theme on love. The book will be written for use by individuals or groups, and a leader's guide will be provided for six suggested sessions. Chapter One - Love as Gift Chapter Two - Love as Invitation Chapter Three - Love as Loyalty Chapter Four - Love as Ethic Chapter Five - Love as Compassion Chapter Six - Love as Wonder The leader 's guide will provide a basic template that can be used for each session along with specific suggestions for six sessions to plug into the template in order to explore each of the book 's chapters.

One of the most unique aspects of Christianity is that the Creator of the universe draws us, the created, into a place of close relationship with himself. If you and I stopped at this point, it is quite certain that God has done more than we deserve. But God does not leave us to ourselves, even at the early stages of our born-again experience. He beckons each of us to live an existence that not only includes him but encompasses the kingdom through every part of our being. This is the place of close relationship that Jesus told his disciples they would experience. It is the place of moving past just working for God and becoming a friend of God. This book will give you tools to understand the process, steps for you to get there, and how to live it out each day.

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
