Ruth For You

Revealing God's Kindness and Care

2020

The book of Ruth is a love story. Like all love stories it has twists and turns, tension and resolution, and a happy ending. But it's far more than that because it reveals to us a God who is deeply committed to caring for his people. In Boaz, God provides Ruth with a loving husband to free and provide for her, pointing us to the Bible's grand story of redemption and David’s greatest son, Jesus. Tony Merida's compelling story-telling and Christ-centered insights make this both an accessible and absorbing expository guide to the book of Ruth. It can be used for personal devotions, or for leading small-group studies, or for sermon preparation.

2 Samuel For You

The Triumphs and Tragedies of God's King

2017

2 Samuel is a story of triumph and disaster, both personal and national. It is the account of the rise and fall and rise of a great king, David of Israel. But it is also the story of the God who rules his people, who forgives his people, and who promises to send the King whose greatest fall will bring our eternal rise. This accessible, absorbing expository guide opens up this book for new and mature Christians alike. It is less academic than a commentary, making it a great resource for personal devotion, as well as useful for leading small group studies or sermon preparation.

2 Corinthians For You

For reading, for feeding, for leading

2020

In 2 Corinthians For You, Garry Millar walks readers through the hard truths that Paul sets out in this deeply personal letter. It reveals Paul’s heart for Christ’s wayward "children"—one filled with the true love of Christ. As with the whole series, this expository guide gives careful attention to the text and its meaning, and is a vital resource for preachers and teachers as well as nourishing spiritual food for any Christian. It can be read as a devotional, used for leading small group studies or used for sermon preparation.

2 Peter & Jude For You

To Help You Stand Firm

2021

When friends, family members, and even respected church leaders fall away from the faith, it is deeply sad and painful. But the reality is that we are all tempted to compromise our faith in one way or another. We all need to be careful not to fall. Peter and Jude knew that first-hand. They wrote with a sense of urgency, showing a deep concern for the believers they were addressing. Their aim? To help their readers stand firm. Verse by verse, pastor Miguel N��ez unpacks these two short letters, showing how they are still utterly relevant to us today—warning us where we may be in danger of stumbling and equipping us to stand firm in our faith. This expository guide is less academic than a traditional commentary and includes lots of application. It can be read from cover to cover, used in personal devotions, or referred to as a resource for leading small groups or preparing sermons.
