In Twelve Unlikely Heroes, pastor and best-selling author John MacArthur uses his deep knowledge of the Bible and history to take us back to see these three-dimensional men and women in their own times and cultures. In doing so, it becomes clear how their dramatic stories apply to us today. People who might at first seem foreign quickly become familiar and unforgettable - particularly as they reveal the true Hero behind every witness, the power counterbalancing every weakness, "the Author and Finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:1).

40 Lives in 40 Days is a brand-new devotional compilation of MacArthur's extensive studies of the Bible characters who show us that we don't have to be perfect to do God's work. From the twelve disciples to the Samaritan woman, MacArthur shares that Jesus chose average people--fishermen, tax collectors, doubters, political zealots--and gave them a remarkable mission.

Does anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we're giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural.

Dans un monde où l'échec pastoral et l'épuisement professionnel sont de plus en plus fréquents, le pasteur John MacArthur a su faire preuve de fidélité dans son ministère. Qu'est-ce qui l'a maintenu sur la bonne voie, qui l'a protégé du découragement, de la fatigue et même de l'échec ? Il a été fortement influencé par l'apôtre Paul, qui a été fidèle jusqu'à la fin malgré la calomnie, la persécution et la souffrance.

As many have said, the church must always be reforming. It must continually move closer to a truer, more faithful expression of the gospel. The risen Christ’s powerful letters to the seven churches in Revelation are a guide to just that.

Perhaps no one else has ever faced as much hardship, opposition, or relentless suffering as the apostle Paul.

Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious.

Warum feiern wir Weihnachten? Weihnachten ist eine Zeit wahrer Freude, doch die wahre Freude entsteht da, wo man erkennt, was Weihnachten wirklich ist, und wo man Den kennt, dessen Geburt wir feiern – Jesus Christus. Wir können Ihn nicht kennen, wenn wir nicht erkennen, dass Er Realität ist. Der Bericht von der Geburt Jesu ist keine Legende. Maria und Joseph waren wirkliche Menschen. Ihr Dilemma des Raummangels in der Herberge war für sie eine große Not und so legten sie das Jesuskind in eine Krippe.

Warum kam Jesus in diese Welt? Die Antwort auf diese Frage lässt uns den wahren Aspekt der Weihnachtsgeschichte erkennen. Sie richtet unseren Blick auf den Einen, der unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur zu Weihnachten verdient, sondern jeden Tag. In diesem Hörbuch werden Sie sehen, warum Jesus allein unser Lob und unsere völlige Hingabe verdient. Warum Er derjenige ist, an Dem man sich in Lebensprüfungen festhalten kann, und derjenige, vor Dem man sich in Ehrfurcht zu beugen hat.

Was ist die Realität von Weihnachten? Ist es nicht ein Familienfest, ein Fest für Kinder? Ist es nicht eine Zeit, in der die Liebe zu den Mitmenschen, die Freude am Schenken und dergleichen mehr gefeiert wird? Eigentlich nicht! Weihnachten dreht sich um die Geburt Jesu, der gekommen ist, um zu suchen und zu retten, was verloren ist. Wenn wir nicht zu denen gehören wollen, die Weihnachten verpassen, dann dürfen wir diese wichtige Tatsache nicht übersehen. An Weihnachten geht es um das unbegreifliche Wunder, dass Gott als Mensch geboren wurde.

La Bible est attaquée de toutes parts. Dans L’Écriture seule, John MacArthur défend la fiabilité de l’Écriture dans le but d’équiper l’Église afin qu’elle puisse être en mesure de défendre fermement la vérité, même lorsque d’autres l’abandonnent. Ce n’est que lorsque le peuple de Dieu reconnaîtra la Bible pour ce qu’elle est—la Parole infaillible de Dieu et la source ultime d’autorité—qu’il sera en mesure d’accomplir son appel et de transmettre au monde entier la bonne nouvelle du salut de Dieu.
