The Church Defined - Free Video Lecture

/
Pastor Greg Nichols recently delivered thirty lectures on the doctrine of the church for Reformed Baptist Seminary. Several of his introductory lectures include a detailed exegesis and analysis of the 113 NT passages where ἐκκλησία (ekklesia) the primary Greek term for the church, occurs.

Blame it on the Brain: A Review

/
Blame it on the Brain is a book that stands out in the sea of “self-help” resources. Even when you scour most Christian counseling books, you are hard-pressed to find such candid descriptions of our sin and grace. While this constant focus on each human being’s sin could be bothersome to some, I believe it offers more hope than any other approach. It is not enough to explain away our struggles, problems and addictions by blaming our genetic makeup or our environment. While these things certainly play a part in our life, they are not the cause - and merely provide an opportunity to reveal what is deeply in our heart.

An All-Around Ministry: A Review

/
An All-Round Ministry by Charles Spurgeon is a collection of 12 lectures-turned-essays to ministers and students preparing for the ministry. If a reader is familiar with Spurgeon, he may be reminded of his other famous work Lectures To My Students. While there are many similarities between An All-Round Ministry and Lectures To My Students, the books serve different purposes. Lectures is far more in-depth, including details on the preachers voice, anecdotes, illustrations, open-air preaching, etc. An All-Round Ministry, though very practical, is more concerned with a big-picture view of a pastors’ ministry.
