1 & 2 Corinthians: Jesus Cross Church
by Earl LavenderDo you want a deeper, more fulfilling way of Bible study? Do you want to know God through Scripture--not just to know the teachings, but to have a relationship with the Teacher? Perhaps you want to begin daily Bible reading, but need guidance. Or you need a guide for family Bible study. Or your small group Bible study needs revitalizing. This meditative commentary is for you.There are many commentaries on the books of the Bible and workbooks for Bible study, but this series is different. It employs the classic Christian method of "holy reading" to help you hear the voice of God.Holy reading involves slowly engaging a short passage of Scripture, listening closely, reading repeatedly, praying the words, and perhaps sharing with fellow believers. God will bless us, our families, and our churches if we take the time to be still, listen, and do his word.Paul's Corinthian correspondence is a valuable resource for helping resolve issues facing believers today. Living in the dynamic power of the cross of Christ continues to produce a life of righteousness, peace, and generosity--individually and in communities of faith.

1 & 2 Thessalonians: Living in the End Times (John Stott Bible Studies #Vol. 1)
by John StottStudy Scripture with John Stott
1, 2 Thessalonians, 1, 2 Timothy, Titus (Preacher's Commentary, Volume #32)
by Gary W. DemarestGeneral editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations. The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.
