New Testament Everyday Bible Study
6 total works
The book of Acts shows the spread of the gospel—from a band of apostles all the way to the Roman Emperor. Luke, the writer of Acts, highlights the mission the church is on to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. But the mission is not of their own making. It's God's, and his mission is the unifying factor for everyone involved, then and now.
Luke's account of the early church shines a light on our purpose today. Scot McKnight shows how we are called by God to participate in God's mission in the world to redeem it through Jesus Christ.
- What does this mission look like in all its ups and downs and unexpected twists?
- How does being a part of this godly mission open us to virtues like courage, generosity, and ethnic-sensitivity?
- How do we understand and apply the core message of Luke to our circumstances and conditions?
Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, McKnight shares perspectives that reveal the enduring relevance of the Book of Acts for our lives today. Ideal for personal reflection or group study, Acts will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context.

The book of James calls us to wisdom. Paul’s letter to the Galatians compels us to a liberated life in the Spirit. Exploring the links between the time these words were written and our own times, Scot McKnight reveals the enduring relevance and importance of these two letters for our lives today.
James and Galatians both speak words of life to believers in the first century and in the twenty-first century:
- James offers us practical and relevant wisdom about the speech we use (especially considering modern means of communication), the trials we face, and the specific dangers of wealth.
- Galatians reminds us of the total sufficiency of Jesus in securing our salvation, and of the leadership of the Holy Spirit for living out our faith.
Ideal for personal reflection or group study, James and Galatians will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context.

In his letter to the Philippians, Paul expresses many of his ideas about how Christians should live life together. His words on fellowship and upright conduct are carried over into his letters to the Thessalonians, in which Paul exhorts the church to live in a way that pleases God.
Philippians and the Thessalonians all address believers in the first century and in the twenty-first century with words that are practical and deeply spiritual:
- Philippians appeals for unity and rejoicing in the face of suffering.
- 1 and 2 Thessalonians emphasize having a heart of thanksgiving and also discuss the return of Christ.
Kingdom living is the shape of life in Christ. These letters have taught Christians since the first century to live a life shaped by confidence in what God has promised us, but also to live that life without trying to escape from this world.
