What do the various covenants given throughout the Bible mean to us? Are they relevant to our lives? A rainbow now and then may remind us of God's promise to Noah, and we've memorized the part about the new covenant in Jesus' blood at communion—but do we dig any deeper? Do we need to? Jonty Rhodes guides us into an engaging study of covenant theology and why it matters. With clarity and wit, he shows us how covenants carry the Bible's story from start to finish and ultimately give root to the gospel of salvation by grace. Beginning with Adam in the garden of Eden, and ending with Jesus, our risen Covenant King, Rhodes illuminates the good news of a promise-making, promise-keeping God. Key topics include law and grace, union with Christ, baptism in the Spirit, predestination, and water baptism. Rediscover the Bible's unified covenantal story and its unfolding message throughout Scripture.

Covenants Made Simple: Understanding God’s Unfolding Promises to His People

P&R Publishing

Have you ever woken up on a Sunday morning and wondered if it was worth getting out of bed? Have you wondered why you should bother to attend corporate worship every week? Unfortunately, it can be easy to miss the excitement of corporate worship―but the excitement is there. Because God is all-sufficient, he commands worship for his glory but our gain! A Reformed view of worship is shaped by God’s Word, with the gospel as its context: God desires to meet with his people, and that meeting comes only in and through Christ, by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our worship leader, and as our prophet, priest and king he teaches us what worship should look like. Writing with winsome enthusiasm, Jonty Rhodes celebrates the simplicity and freedom of Reformed worship and shows readers the joys of meeting with God in the means and manner he promises to bless.

Reformed Worship (Blessings of the Faith)

The Bible is a story; the gospel is a message. But how does one lead to the other? Raiding the Lost Ark shows how covenants hold the key, and demonstrates how the gospel of salvation by grace alone grows naturally out of the story God tells. At the centre of Israel's worship was the tabernacle. At the centre of the tabernacle was a box: the Ark of the Covenant. Within the box was a covenant. Covenant dominates the Bible's story from start to finish, shaping the gospel, the church and the day-to-day experience of God's people. But for many of us, covenant is a lost concept. Raiding the Lost Ark seeks to recover the great news of Jesus Christ as Covenant King, demonstrating the natural flow from the story God tells to the gospel of grace. Along the way, it addresses hot topics, such as baptism in the Spirit, predestination and water baptism, showing how they all fit together in one covenant story to bring God's people into fullness of life under the Covenant King.

Raiding the Lost Ark: Recovering The Gospel Of The Covenant King

For several years now, erstwhile 9Marks editor and now full-time pastor Sam Emadi, with a wink, has summarized our ministry, "Yeah, I just tell people, 9Marks exists to tell pastors not to do weird stuff. Just do what's in the Bible."Not a bad summary.If you've not heard the term "ordinary means of grace" before, Sam has captured what many pastors today need to hear: don't do weird stuff in your church. Don't take your growth cues from a marketing team. Don't lead church services that would make P. T. Barnum or J. J. Abrams proud. Don't, in short, think you can offer something extraordinary based on your creativity or ingenuity, or that you can manufacture the extraordinary through reverse-engineering the results you want. The Spirit has already revealed everything we need for gathering and growing churches. And, yes, it's pretty ordinary stuff. You might even be tempted to call it boring and (ironically) uninspiring. Yet the uninspiring is inspired: preaching God's Word, singing God's Word, praying God's Word, reading God's Word, and declaring God's Word through the ordinances. Those ordinary-as opposed to extraordinary-practices have been ordained. The wisdom of God often sounds like foolishness, no?In many churches simple acts of worship have been encrusted over by years of accumulated traditions that mask the beautiful simplicity of the ordinary means of grace. Don't think you can offer something extraordinary based on your creativity or ingenuity, or that you can manufacture the extraordinary through reverse-engineering the results you want. The Spirit has already revealed everything we need for gathering and growing churches: preaching God's Word, singing God's Word, praying God's Word, reading God's Word, and declaring God's Word through the ordinances. Those ordinary-as opposed to extraordinary-practices have been ordained. Directing people's hearts and minds to God is the most important thing a church can do, and the singular activity around which everything else hangs. We need to remember that the visible church is a gathering of Christians in a local assembly to worship the Lord. This Journal, which focuses on the ordinary means of grace, presents the very heart of the 9Marks church program. What's our church model? Here it is.
