Once Upon a Time, Came Jesus
"Once upon a time..." A phrase we often associate with myths, fairy tales and children's bedtime stories, are the chosen opening words of our Christmas series, "Once upon a Time, Came Jesus". The phrase conjures up imagination, dreams, the miraculous and other-worldly-like thoughts. Perfect for Christmas! Except that this story is neither myth nor fairy tale. It's the best story to tell because it's not only imaginative, dreamy, miraculous and other-worldly, it's true! And, it was written for children of all ages. So, whether you are 7 or 70, join us for this wonderfilled series about the coming of the Savior to this world.
ESV Gospel Transformation Bible
The apostle Paul summed up his whole ministry as existing “to testify to the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24). That single-minded goal is the heartbeat of the ESV Gospel Transformation Bible. Produced out of the conviction that the Bible is a unified message of God’s grace culminating in Jesus, it is a significant new tool to help readers see Christ in all the Bible, and grace for all of life.
The Gospel Transformation Bible features all-new book introductions and gospel-illuminating notes written by a team of over 50 outstanding pastors and scholars. This specially prepared material outlines passage-by-passage God’s redemptive purposes of grace that echo all through Scripture and culminate in Christ. The notes not only explain but also apply the text in a grace-centered way. Focusing on heart transformation rather than mere behavior modification, their points of application emphasize the Hows and Whys of practical application to daily living—in short, how the gospel transforms us from the inside out.
