NEW BOOK: 'Why Worship is Liturgical' by Jeffrey J. Meyers.

How important is our way of worship?

Should our worship services on the Lord's Day be ordered a certain way? Should our worship services have a "contemporary" or "traditional" form?

In this book, Pastor Jeffrey J. Meyers provides a simple guide in understanding the biblical order and practical benefits of a liturgical Christian worship service. The book is intended for church leaders and church members alike, to provide a biblical rationale for corporate worship on the Lord's Day and why such worship will look, sound, and feel more "traditional" than "contemporary" while avoiding pretentious or dead and musty liturgical traditions.

What is Biblical Hospitality?

In this book, Mark Brians II and Drew A. Knowles Jr. call for a corporate return to the regular practice of biblical hospitality and festivity within the church. In an age of loneliness and isolation and food-porn, an age in which feasting and hospitality are largely absent from the human experience, we must be real-life, bread-breaking people.

Americans have plenty of food and drink but have forgotten how to feast. Our poor love of God and neighbor is reflected in our aversion to the real-world cost, tedium, labor and inconveniences of being hospitable. But, as the first host, God makes room for us, welcoming us, and inviting us into His....

Available for Pre-Order: Jonathan E. Sedlak's "Reading Matthew, Trusting Jesus: Christian Tradition and First-Century Fulfillment within Matthew 24-25"

After pronouncing judgment on the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus answers three questions from his disciples on the Mount of Olives: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”

Contemporary scholars have characterized Jesus’ answers to these three questions in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew’s Gospel as a mix between first-century fulfillment and future, “end-of-the-world” fulfillment.

In Reading Matthew, Trusting Jesus, Jonathan E. Sedlak provides a detailed survey of how influential figures across church history—from the earliest patristic sources until now—have interpreted Matthew 24, discovering that many affirmed first-century fulfillment, and some ruled out any delay in fulfillment beyond the first century.

After pronouncing judgment on the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus answers three questions from his disciples on the Mount of Olives: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” Contemporary scholars have characterized Jesus’ answers to ...
