Judges: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the units of the letter to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text (i.e., what the author is doing with what he is saying). Judges is divided into fourteen preaching units and the theological focus of each is delineated. The overall theological trajectory or theme of the book deals with the failure of leadership in the community of God's people. Since God's people are all called to be leaders in some arena, to some degree, in some fashion, the lessons of Judges are applicable to all Christians. The specific theological thrust of each unit is captured in this commentary, making possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of Judges. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the twelve preaching units of Judges. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through Judges with an emphasis on application.

Are you tired of living in a constant place of fear? Tired of the havoc it reaps over your life? For so long, I allowed fear to paralyze me and keep me thinking this was the only way to live. I've learned the only way to conquer fear is to bring it face to face with my faith. I learned to see my challenges as an asset instead of a torture seeking enemy.In this 31-Day Devotional, you will use God's Word as your ultimate faith builder. Each daily faith challenge will guide and equip you for seasons when our faith is put to the test. When we begin to see that the Lord doesn't leave us to face our trials alone, we will see that there is nothing in life we need to fear. We were not designed to live cowardly lives. We were meant to live lives that are rich and full of every blessing the Lord desires to bestow upon on us. We can only live that kind of life when we get to the place where we are ready to move from being fearlessly faithless to faithfully fearless.

What if instead of being 'fine, ' I could be fearless? Fearless in my love for Christ. Fearless in my pursuit of His will for my life. Fearless in my willingness to sacrifice self for others. Being fearless alone can be reckless, but being fearless in Christ, I learned, can be transformative. Designed as a twelve-week devotional series, Fearless Stride is rooted in understanding Christ and answering the question of what it means to take "fearless strides" and live authentically for Him. To develop this sense of fearlessness, we first need to practice resilience. As the events and hardships of life shape us, we are forced to re-evaluate our purpose. We can either let life sink us, or we can find a new way to float, coupled with an eagerness to swim forward. Resilience is a much about our outlook as it is about the circumstances in our lives that shape our beliefs and perspectives. This book is not merely another training plan for practicing faith, it is a life plan to take one fearless stride after another to become the person God intended you to be. The physical, emotional, and spiritual components of living in Christ are discussed alongside concrete examples and ideas for tangible output in the faith life of a believer. Through devotions such as "Grace & Grit," "Hustle & Hardship," "Challenge & Courage," and "Attitude & Adversity," Fearless Stride will guide readers to conquer fear and allow hope to manifest itself into progressive action designed to serve the Kingdom of God.

Thousands of women have held positions in church pulpits throughout America and around the world. Are they out of place? Have they been called by God, or have they climbed the mountain of selfish pride and rebellion against God's will? What will ultimately be the result of their decision to stand in the pulpit? In her eye-opening book No Place for a Woman, Shirley Williams answers these questions, examines the consequences, establishes solutions, and offers Christian women a more biblical way to serve God. Aggressively responding to modern beliefs, Williams defines what Christian leadership should look like and what place women have in Christianity. No Place for a Woman shows biblically based principles and how these were given for the good of men and women. Achieve a better understanding of God's call for women and where there is No Place for a Woman.

Conscientious parents who long to bring their children up as good Christians and good citizens face an uphill battle. In a culture of rampant narcissism and moral anarchy, righteous living isn't easy and it isn't popular. But positive cultural transformation happens quietly, one life at a time, and that is good news for parents. In this hopeful book, world-renowned researcher George Barna and nationally respected counselor Jimmy Myers offer parents a plan of action to raise healthy, godly children in a morally bankrupt culture. If the parents of this generation want to see their children grow up with their faith and consciences intact, they cannot afford to simply react, making it up as they go along. They must approach their responsibilities to parent their children with intentionality and consistency. This eye-opening book helps them do just that.
