1 Peter: The Grace of Exile
In The Grace of Exile, we embark on a journey through 1 Peter, a letter written to exiles, and discover that the life of a religious minority, though filled with hardships, is infused with God's true grace.
As we navigate the challenges of living in a post-Christian world, this study offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be a faithful follower of Christ. We'll learn to rejoice in what we have in Christ, even when the world rejects us, and explore biblical strategies for building up our gospel communities.
Whether serving on a university campus, working in a corporate environment, or engaging online, The Grace of Exile will equip you with the wisdom needed to navigate your setting as a follower of Christ.
Nehemiah: How God Renews His People
Many studies of the book of Nehemiah focus on the man Nehemiah. But for as much as Nehemiah is the central human character, the book that bears his name is about God, another instance of God working hard to renew his people. After years of apathy, disobedience, and defeat, Israel had become a far cry from the lighthouse God meant them to be.
So God began doing what God always does: he renewed them. He stirred up and sent Nehemiah to get the job done—to renew his people.
Unhitched
In Unhitched: How God's Church Must Connect to God's Nature, Nate Holdridge will explore how the modern people of God need to hold orthodox views of God—just like Jonah did—but also reflect God's nature to a lost and broken world.
Jonah knew God was gracious and merciful, but he was unwilling to reflect God's character to the nations. Like a train car unhitched from the engine, Jonah was unhitched from God, and he desperately needed to reconnect himself so that he could be a good representative of God to this world.
(un)Reasonable Trust
At the end of the short book of Habakkuk, the prophet said that even if all the crops in Israel were to yield no produce and even if all the livestock in Israel died off, he would rejoice and take joy in God (3:17-18). Even if the earth suffered chaos in apocalyptic proportions, Habakkuk would trust God. God had made him strong, so he would move forward, trusting God despite all he saw (3:19)
Whole-Hearted Work
Christians, just like everyone else, spend a significant portion of their lives in the workplace. But does our work matter to God? Can our work please God? And why is it often hard? Does the Bible have anything to say about doing good work? In the book Whole-Hearted Work, author-pastor Nate Holdridge explains what the Bible says about work, vocation, and career. Beginning with why work matters to God and should matter to us, Nate will carefully explain why work is hard and how, from a biblical perspective, we can do good work, then concluding with a chapter on trusting God while we work. If you are a believer who needs to make the connection between your faith and work, this book is for you.
