Built upon the Rock

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is a Bible study that is actually rooted in the Bible and involves actual study. In the 9Marks Healthy Church Study Guides Series a new standard has been set for personal theological discovery and corresponding personal application. Rich exposition, compelling questions, and clear syntheses combine to give a guided tour of ecclesiology—the theology of the church. I know of no better curriculum for generating understanding of and involvement in the church than this. It will be a welcome resource in our church for years to come.”

The Deity of Christ

Theology

“Nothing should be more important and more interesting to a Christian than Jesus. And nothing is more important or more interesting about Jesus than the fact that he is God. His deity is at the heart of the gospel’s wonder for the believer, and it is the blunt force of the traumatic offense of the gospel to those who disbelieve. I cannot imagine a more important truth to unpack. Morgan and Peterson have organized an indispensable resource for this fundamental doctrine. The Deity of Christ achieves the rare balance between scholarly credibility and accessible practicality. Reading its pages generated waves of worship from each chapter. This volume will inform your mind and feed your soul with the undeniable, undiminished deity of Jesus.”

What Is the Mission of the Church?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Every generation is tempted to augment or diminish, even nuance or redefine the mission of the church. Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert have provided a biblical corrective and protection for our generation in What is the Mission of the Church? With a gracious and kind spirit, this book reclaims the ecclesiastical concepts of mission, purpose, social justice, and the Great Commission from those who have redefined these words with a dictionary other than Scripture. Pastors should read this book with their elders, deacons, and leadership teams to wrestle with answers to the most pressing questions about the church in our day.”

What's God Saying Here?

Preaching & Worship

“Awkward, uncomfortable, confusing, disturbing—these are understandable responses to challenging parts of the Bible that have troubled many of its readers. Regrettably, some have turned away from Scripture when difficult passages aren’t sufficiently resolved. But can they be? Eric Bargerhuff and Matthew Kim provide an invaluable resource. Not only are some of the stickiest passages tackled; more importantly, the authors employ a hermeneutical and applicational method that provides guidance on how to approach any passage of God’s Word. The proof of these pages is that God and his Word can endure the most probing scrutiny.”
