Open wide the gates!This teaching on the gates started an awakening in my heart and caused me to hunger for a deeper walk with the Lord. …it began a new quest for the glory of God to manifest—and it most definitely did! –Jo Ellen Stevens Too many think that the day we become born again, God turns us loose to somehow evolve into mature Christians. On the contrary, He has a plan for our success, and the gates define that—step by step, experience by experience, truth by truth. God’s Plan for Our Success Nehemiah’s Way—Rebuilding the Gates in Your Christian Journey is a unique look at how the ten gates described in the Book of Nehemiah affect your life. Gates are crucial for you to walk through and understand, making your daily hike more successful. These benchmarks help you grow stronger and know how to react when your “city” lies in “waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire” (Neh. 2:17). This book is an insightful, practical blueprint to building a rich life of blessings. You go through the first gate as a new Christian and through each of the other gates on your way toward the last one—your God-given destiny.

John Examines the Power of True Bible Doctrine Through the Lens of LoveBefore being exiled to the island of Patmos where he wrote the book of Revelation, the apostle John penned three letters to the church at Ephesus. The Ephesian church was the largest in the ancient world and faced, as many churches of that time did, the dangerous doctrines of Jewish legalism and Hellenistic Gnosticism. The church was also dealing with false leaders more interested in gain and fame than in spreading the truth of the gospel. In response, John, who was the church's pastor for a time, wrote the Johannine epistles. And, as in his gospel, John addresses all of these issues through the lens of God’s love.Bob Yandian delves into John’s letters, verse by verse, using context and his own pastoral sagacity to illuminate John’s messages. In doing so, Pastor Yandian first provides historical and biblical background—including observance of the original Greek language—to bring alive the truths in John’s three letters. Pastor Yandian then encourages modern believers to apply these truths in response to God’s pure and unfailing love.Important Johannine themes Pastor Yandian explores in this commentary:The crucial differences between relationship and fellowship with GodThe reality of and remedy for sin in the believer’s lifeThe outworking of sanctificationThe saving power of true doctrineThe discerning power of the Holy Spirit withinIn this commentary, not only can readers expect valuable insight into the beloved apostle’s writings, they can also expect a gentle nudge to be more like Jesus and less like the modern church which, like the Ephesians, forgot their first love.

Walk in the footsteps of a king!   King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper. Through all of his successes, failures, and pain, David worshipped God with his whole heart. The first 30 Psalms provide a record of his prayers to God—a window into his prayers as he wrestled through every circumstance across the full spectrum of human emotion.   David’s example is an important model for modern-day Christians, and his words in the Psalms provide powerful language we can use in our own journey.   Psalmist and worship leader Julie Meyer has spent decades helping everyday believers encounter God through Davidic worship. By declaring and singing the Psalms, Julie has discovered that she is able to access that same open Heaven as David—a spiritual dimension where we are confident that God hears us (even when Heaven seems silent), we know that He’s with us (even when He feels distant), and that—whether we feel it or not—we can trust that the giant-slaying God of David is fighting on our behalf!    In 30 Days of Praying the Psalms, Julie takes you on a prayer journey through 30 of David’s songs, equipping you with:Templates for powerful breakthrough prayers.Guidance for singing and declaring your way into an awareness of God’s Presence.Simple keys to lay hold of God’s promises for healing.Easy and comfortable language you can use when talking with God.The ability to make God your refuge through every storm.King David saw every type of need answered by declaring God’s faithfulness through the Psalms. Now, discover how you can see the same in your life!
