Showing results for "what" in Bibles

In his latest book, Angels, Dr. Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God's supernatural servants.

Most people presume all there is to know about angels is what has been passed on in Christian tradition, but in reality, that tradition is quite incomplete and often inaccurate. Angels is not guided by traditions, stories, speculations, or myths about angels.

This audiobook combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation. Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success - big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches - these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors - all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.

What was Jesus doing prior to his conception in Mary’s womb? While we see the father and the Holy Spirit actively engaged in human affairs across the pages of the Old Testament, the other member of the Trinity is foreshadowed in messianic prophecies but otherwise absent from the earth. Or is he? Jesus Before Bethlehem explores dozens of Old Testament appearances by a figure often called “the angel of the lord”. He not only speaks for God; he speaks as God.

Brian leads his listeners to a fresh vision of what is conveyed in the gospel accounts of Jesus' miracles. Uncovering what is there in the text, we see the miracles in a reinvigorated, vibrant way.

How does the Gospel communicate the eternal truth? Jesus was perhaps the world's greatest storyteller because his sometimes surprising parables conveyed timeless truths.
