Book Description
What does living as a Christian really look like? What changes do I need to make to the way I live my life? How does Jesus want me to live? The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' teaching on how to conduct our lives. While his original audience was a crowd of first-century Jews, his words are astutely relevant to 21st century living, particularly as modern Western cultural trends are increasingly at odds with Jesus' teaching. Laid out to follow the structure of Matthew 5-7, each chapter delves into the topics raised in these verses, including: - Dealing with anger - Handling conflict and criticism - Managing money - Sex, marriage and divorce - The secret of true happiness With his familiar mix of wisdom and humour, Nicky Gumbel explains Jesus' teaching and presents practical ways to apply it so Christians can follow Jesus in every aspect of their lives.

The Jesus of Suburbia
Author: Mike Erre
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1418577391
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Like the first-century Pharisees, we've reduced Christianity to a set of propositional beliefs. Truth is, we've gotten away from what it really means to be a Christian. In The Jesus of Suburbia, Mike Erre reveals that we've created a Jesus in our own image. In a fresh, startling manner, Erre helps us understand that the real Jesus is calling us to live, act, and think in ways that overturn the status quo. "Expect no sugar-coated sweetness about 'felt needs' and in-church coffee bars from Erre, pastor of teaching at Rock Harbor Church in Costa Mesa, Calif. Expect instead compelling discussion of how the Christian church has lost sight of the revolutionary teaching and love of Jesus. 'Much of the message of American Christianity presents Jesus as the purveyor of the American Dream,' he says. American Christians, he claims, have reduced Jesus to a study of risk management; we want him to be 'predictable and safe.' Erre also uses the adjectives 'insecure, threatened, naive, simplistic, mean and shortsighted' to describe many of today's churches. He lambastes our love of theology instead of Jesus, our contentment with 'simply knowing about him instead of knowing him.' While this protest continues in the vein of other recent books that take a hard look at Jesus and the church (Jesus Mean and Wild; Out of Your Comfort Zone), it offers a fresh look at how the American church must begin 'demonstrating the message of Christ,' not merely explaining it. After all, says Erre, 'if you follow Jesus, you follow the most radical man who ever existed.'"--Publishers Weekly

Jesus the Christ spent an huge amount of his teaching time on how to live life in the here and now. He said that those who practice his teachings would be like a house built on a rock.

He also said that he had come to bring life to persons that he called overflowing life, abundant life. Jesus said that people are not really alive, they are the living dead. He said that his message could lead a person to life like that of God, like that of the heavens, eternal life. This book explores the lifestyle that Jesus taught, and that he demonstrated by his own lifestyle. It is an interactive study that challenges persons to understand and attempt to live the life.
