Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day? The truth is, often we think, “What can my pastor do for me?” Far less often do we think, “What can I do for my pastor?” Former seasoned pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do — how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on — but what about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

Christopher Ash takes us through examples from all five books of the Psalter in these seven Bible studies for small groups. He shows us how they were sung by Jesus and fulfilled by Jesus. This transforms how we read them, enjoy them and sing them ourselves, as we join the King's choir. Features close attention to the text, a focus on real-life application, and questions that really open up discussion.

Seven ingredients for healthy sermon listening. Why on earth does anyone need a guide on how to listen to sermons? Don't we simply need to ‘be there’ and stay awake? Yet Jesus said: ‘Consider carefully how you listen.’ The fact is, much more is involved in truly listening to Bible teaching than just sitting and staring at the preacher. Christopher Ash outlines seven ingredients for healthy listening. He then deals with how to respond to bad sermons — ones that are dull, or inadequate, or heretical. And finally, he challenges us with ideas for helping and encouraging our Bible teachers to give sermons that will really help us to grow as Christians. Where does the authority of a Bible teacher come from? Why is Bible teaching offensive? Why is it important to hear Bible teaching in church? How can we actually enjoy Bible teaching more? These (and more) are the questions answered by this practical guide, which includes effective, hands-on suggestions for implementing each idea. All with the aim of helping us learn how to listen properly, so that through His word, God will make us more and more Christ like.

When a disaster happens; when personal tragedy strikes; when we are perplexed by world events, Christians begin to doubt that God is either truly good, or truly in control. Christopher Ash faces these questions head on, without flinching at any of the difficulties. First he looks at six different ways people have answered this question both as Christians and from other religions and none. He then reveals the Bible's answer - the revelation of God's character and purposes throughout history. This warm, pastorally hearted and accessible book will help those struggling with this question to see the grand vision of the Bible s answer - and the tragedy of adopting any other viewpoint.
