Greg Gilbert Knihy

Křesťané dnes definují misii více zeširoka a rozmanitěji než kdykoli předtím. Ubíráme se jako tělo Kristovo stejným směrem, nebo má každý z nás jiný úkol? Někteří tvrdí, že posláním církve je postavit se proti nespravedlnosti, zmírňovat utrpení a dělat co nejvíc proto, aby svět poznal Boží lásku. Jiní se obávají, že církvi hrozí, že se přestane soustředit na Boha, a tudíž kladou důraz na zvěstování evangelia. Zdá se, že lidé poslání církve stále ještě správně nepochopili.

A User-Friendly Introduction to Interpreting and Understanding God's Word Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters―something to be marveled at and enjoyed.  In  The Epic Story of the Bible , Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians―or those interested in Christianity―what the Bible is and how to study it. Explaining the various genres and major themes woven throughout Scripture, Gilbert helps readers appreciate the word of God with less confusion and greater confidence. Adapted from the  ESV Story of Redemption Bible .

Designed for non-Christians and new Christians alike, this succinct book examines the extraordinary life and remarkable teachings of the most important figure in history: Jesus Christ.

Concise, Scripture-Centered Guide Answers Popular Questions about Gender and Church Leadership Many new believers have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church, and pastors are looking for resources to pass along to their congregations to help them think biblically about the Christian life. Church Questions is a series by 9Marks that seeks to provide Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each booklet offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment. In this Church Questions booklet, Greg Gilbert answers the question  Can women be pastors?  Gilbert explains why God reserved the office of pastor and elder exclusively for men by examining the structures of authority God established from the very beginning. Focusing on texts in Genesis 1–3 and 1 Timothy 2, Gilbert makes a case for why God’s original design for church leadership is not arbitrary, but part of his good and beautiful plan.

This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church.What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God.Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel?. Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

The Bible is foundational to Christianity, but many believers struggle to articulate why they trust it. This short book, perfect for small groups or outreach, examines historical and theological arguments that demonstrate the Bible's reliability.

Many Christians are under the impression that God's grace and his favor are two different things--that while his grace may be a gift, his favor is something we must earn. This misunderstanding has led to destructive teachings about "prosperity" and blessings, and ultimately to lives that feel unfulfilled and inadequate. Pastor Greg Gilbert puts favor back in its rightful place, as God's gift through Jesus Christ. He shows how the favor that Jesus earned through his perfect life and sacrificial death becomes ours the moment we believe. Knowing we already have God's favor frees us to live joyous lives no matter what our physical or material circumstances. For anyone who has felt beaten down by the burden of trying to earn God's blessings, this book will provide you with a strong start on a life of confidence in God.

According to Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert, both idolatry of work and idleness on the job are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. Whether you've made an idol of work or find yourself being idle at work, this book helps reminds us that whom you work for is infinitely more important than what you do
