"The Bible has a lot to say about Christ's return--it is mentioned more than three hundred times throughout the New Testament. We often downplay this doctrine because the precise details are debated. However, these passages are in Scripture to build our hope and joy in the here and now. This compilation of expository messages from eight leading Bible teachers, including Tim Keller, John Piper, and D. A. Carson, explores the theme of rede ..."
"Timely and valuable core teachings from an evangelical movement dedicated to the gospel of Christ and a Scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.The church is reeling because of the relativistic mindset of our world.

Yet, in the wake of postmodernity and secularism, all t ..."
"This collection of readings, drawn from the writings and sermons of 25 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers, focuses on the wonder of Christ's sacrifice.In a culture where crosses have become little more than decorative accessories and jewelry, how easy it is for even the most well-intended Christian to rush from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday without thoughtfully contemplating the cross and all that it means. Yet we mi ..."
"Centuries ago Christ made a claim that disconcerts as many today as it did then-he is the way of salvation. Ironically, he spoke these words to comfort his disciples on the night of his arrest. Richard Phillips is just one of six highly respected authors seeking to reaffirm these comforting words and other exclusive claims of Christianity for today's reader. Each chapter proclaims, defends, and explains the Christian truths that ..."

"A collection of six sermons from the Gospel Coalition urging pastors to stay faithful to the ministry of gospel-centered preaching. The church needs a strong reminder of the glorious weight of Scripture. The Bible is preached from the pulpit less and less, and we need to return to what is most important.

Carson, Tim Keller, Kevin DeYoung, and other influential leaders have created th ..."

"Can we trust them? Some belonging to the church contest the inerrancy of God's
Word. When they do, however, they depart from Jesus. They aren't just giving
away a doctrine devised by nineteenth-century Presbyterians, says DeYoung,
they are giving away Jesus. A Christian, when he evangelizes, can put all the
trust in Scripture that Jesus himself put into it—total trust. J. Ligon Duncan, as in
2012, draws percipiently from the Old Te ..."
"Christians in the first centuries of the church were granted the privilege of bearing the name of Christ to enemies of the gospel. These citizens of heaven, yet residents of the republic, remained unashamed about the testimony of their Lord because they knew Whom they believed and were persuaded that He was able to deliver them from evil.Fast-forward twenty centuries. Now resident throughout the world, Christians in many places are agai ..."
""But let a man examine himself" is a phrase that we may have heard of from 1 Corinthians 11 where man is to ask himself if he is right and meet to come and partake in the Lord's supper.

This book takes a constructive look at the doctrine of paedo-communion as defined: "as the admittance of a covenant child to the Lord's Supper ..."

"We pray that in the pages of this book God's people may again hear the gospel message, the good news that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. We are convinced that the most important question that a person can ask is, how can a sinner be in right relationship with a holy and just God? Indeed, we are convinced that this is the central theme of the Bible. Our prayer is that the teaching of God's Word and the truth of salvati ..."
