Mark Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)
$49.99Mark’s gospel has an urgency to it that’s hard to ignore. It’s as if he is breathless, trying to get the information out as quickly as he can. A few decades have passed since Jesus’ ministry, and with persecution intensifying, some believers were tempted to compromise or simply give up on being a follower of the Messiah.
So, Mark needed to take the early Christians back to the basics and get them ready to move!
In this six-session study (video streaming code included), pastor Jeff Manion takes you and your group through the gospel of Mark to answer such urgent questions about the Christian faith as:
*Who is this Jesus?
*What does he expect of me?
*Is suffering a normal part of the Christian life?
*What will encourage and strengthen my trust in Jesus?These questions are not born of a lack of faith but serve to strengthen and stabilize our relationship with the Savior. So, lace up your running shoes. Open your heart and mind. And come with your questions! Get ready to move as Mark’s Gospel reveals what it means to follow Jesus.
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
*The study guide itself-a 40 Day reading plan through Mark with discussion and personal reflection questions, video notes, and a leader’s guide.
*An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online.
*And the physical DVD.
40 Days Through the Book series:
Each of the studies in this series, taught by a different pastor or Bible teacher on a specific book of the Bible, is designed to help you more actively engage with God’s Word by understanding its background and culture and applying it in a fresh way to your life. Throughout each study, you’ll be encouraged to read through the corresponding book in the New Testament at least once during the course of 40 days.

Topical Preaching In A Complex World
$29.99Be Equipped to Prepare and Deliver Engaging, Biblical, and Effective Topical Sermons
Sooner or later, every preacher will come upon a situation where they need to preach a topical sermon. Yet few are taught to preach topically. Even preachers who are gifted in expositing the Scriptures may struggle to deliver a topical sermon that is engaging, culturally relevant, and true to the biblical text. Worse, many pastors worry these messages undermine confidence in the Bible or its authority, leading to a human-centered rather than a God-focused sermon. But that doesn’t have to be the case.
In Topical Preaching in a Complex World, Sam Chan and Malcolm Gill answer these objections and chart a path for how preachers can deliver faithful and effective topical messages. First, they address the biblical, theological, and cultural reasons pastors should add topical sermons to their preaching repertoire. Then, they introduce a straightforward, four-fold approach for preaching a topical message and answer important questions like these:
*How do you approach a topic with the proper interpretative lens?
*How can you speak to two or more audiences with the same sermon?
*What should you consider theologically, culturally, and pastorally in your preparation?
*How do you trace the topic back to Christ?
*How can you better connect with your audience?Best of all, they help readers craft a message that says something people truly need (and want) to hear! Filled with wit, humor, and wisdom from decades of preaching, this book will equip preachers, pastors, ministry leaders, and students to preach relevant, biblical, and engaging topical sermons.
Author Sam Chan says, “Just over a decade ago, I was asked by an organization to speak at their end-of-year dinner. They wanted me to address the topic of being a Christian single, but I had no idea how to prepare and deliver a topical talk. When the night arrived, I preached an old three-point expository sermon and merely changed the ending to include some application on singleness. At best, I got some polite comments afterwards. At worst, people’s looks indicated that my biblical talk had little relevance for them. They could not have been less fooled by my disingenuous workaround.
I went home vowing never to repeat that poor performance. I felt like the unfaithful servant who had not adequately used what talents had been given to him. As a result, I have dedicated the last decade of my preaching ministry to overc
