TETELESTAI FACILITATOR GUIDE The Tetelestai Facilitator Guide will aid you as you lead a small group, or just a friend, through 12 sessions that trace God's hand from the Garden of Eden to the Risen Christ. Whether you are leading someone to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ, or introducing them to Him for the very first time, the step-by-step instructions will allow you to confidently unpack each episode, as the Scriptures reveal the God who passionately loves humanity and paid the ultimate price for our Rescue. TOPICS FOR GROUP DISCUSSION ACCOMPANY EACH EPISODE Lead them to life-changing application with thought provoking questions that accompany each episode. Example: "Drive by shame, guilt, and fear, Adam and Eve tried to make clothing out of leaves... What versions of "leaf clothes" do you see in our culture?" ANSWERS & ARTICLES FOR YOUR STUDENTS QUESTIONS Give answers to the most frequently asked questions with over 90 pages addressing the concerns or hurdles people face when investigating the Bible. Examples: "Aren't animal sacrifices cruel? Why did God create Lucifer if He knew he would become evil? Isn't it blasphemy to say God has a Son? If God is love, how can He condemn homosexuality?" VERSES FOR DIGGING DEEPER Stimulate them to go deeper in their understanding of the Bible with extra Scripture references, and a weekly verse for memorization.

Most can facilitate a small group study, but to be effective, they likely need some training. This training assumes that these are Bible based studies with an outcome of having every participant growing in their relationship with God to become a more mature, effective and fruitful Christian. It also assumes that members of the group will come to know, trust and respect one another, and as a result, become united Christian friends. These objectives do not just happen because we meet in small groups. Some members can be dominant and overbearing, while others are introverted and quite. It can be a challenge to have all members equally exchange their understandings and views with openness and enthusiasm. This training guide should give the facilitator many definite methods for effectively bringing life to his group, and at the same time become an equal member of the group. If the facilitator does not feel qualified to lead, his confidence should grow as he learns from this guide, participates with his group and is encouraged and built up by meeting with other facilitators just like himself. This study was created for a dynamic prison ministry, but the principles are just as spiritually dynamic for any Christian group.

What makes a man masculine? A woman feminine? Did God design the two genders so differently? If so, why? The answers to these questions will free women and men to gladly embrace all that it means to be fully alive as gendered bearers of God's image who can profoundly impact others for good by the way they relate. Author and psychologist Dr. Larry Crabb presents a biblically grounded understanding of gender uniqueness. His illustration of a bridge of connection shows how the two genders can relationally come together in God-revealing harmony as they celebrate their God-designed uniqueness. Readers will discover that God created male and female to relate in gender-specific ways to make a difference in others by displaying God's relational character. Crabb clearly shows men and women what it means to live fully alive as feminine women and masculine men.

Are you tempted beyond your power to resist?There is no question that addictions soil our souls, eventually taking control of our lives. The energy and motivation needed to serve the cause of Christ gets badly short-changed. That's the bad news. Here's the good news.Biblical Christianity provides a way to rise up from this quicksand: Waiting! Learning to eagerly wait for the Lord's return is essential to overcoming the root demand beneath all addictions. But the choice to wait is easy to state but hard to make because arranging for a temporary and counterfeit experience quiets the demand of our tired and thirsty souls. While there is no path to walk that eliminates the struggle to resist temptation we can be moving into greater freedom from it every day.As we learn to wait eagerly for heaven when all our longings will be fully and forever satisfied, we will be inclined to live for one central reason: to make this life work as we want it to.Two things will then happen:One, we will find ourselves driven by self-centeredness, by an addictive concern for our own felt well-being;Two, whatever either numbs our discontent with things as they are or provides a convincing sense of satisfaction for our deeply felt longings will lead us toward addictions of any available variety, all fueled by a core addiction to self.Waiting for heaven to provide everything our souls yearn for, demanding nothing now, frees us to love well now, to delight God and to be there for others, requiring nothing in return.The result? Joy! The satisfaction of living and loving like Jesus.

In this fully revised and updated second edition of his accessible account of systematic Christology, Gerald O'Collins continues to challenge the contemporary publishing trend for sensationalist books on Jesus that are supported neither by the New Testament witness nor by mainline Christian beliefs. This book critically examines the best biblical and historical scholarship before tackling head-on some of the key questions of systematic Christology: does orthodox faith present Jesus the man as deficient and depersonalized? Is his sinlessness compatible with the exercise of a free human will? Does up-to-date exegesis challenge his virginal conception and personal resurrection? Can one reconcile Jesus' role as universal Saviour with the truth and values to be found in other religions? What should the feminist movement highlight in presenting Jesus? This integral Christology is built around the resurrection of the crucified Jesus, highlights love as the key to redemption, and proposes a synthesis of the divine presence through Jesus. Clear, balanced, and accessible, this book should be valued by any student reading systematic theology, anyone training for the ministry in all denominations, as well as interested general readers.

The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the 16th century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. Whilst other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, and James, there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles, Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul, and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

The poetry of John Berryman occupies an incomparable place in modern American literature. This study traces the composition of the major poems, and interprets Berryman's characteristic trials and his imaginative triumphs. In Homage to Mistress Bradstreet , which Edmund Wilson called ' the most distinguished long poem by an American since The Waste Land ', Berryman set himself enormous problems of theme and form, and overcame them with the vigorous and exciting craft that is described in this book. He transformed his personal concerns and historical interests into a fully achieved artistic unity, a poem which succeeds both as lyric and as drama. Similarly, in forging the thirteen-year 'epic' of The Dream Songs , 'the tragical history of Henry', as the poet himself called it, Berryman resolutely confronted chosen models such as Don Quixote and The Iliad , and eventually realised his own design and a unique poetic voice. 'I set up the 'Bradstreet' poem as an attack on 'The Waste Land' ' Berryman said in his National Book Award Acceptance Speech; 'I set up ' The Dream Songs ' as hostile to every visible tendency in both American and English poetry...The aim was the same in both poems: the reproduction or invention of the motions of a human personality, free and determined, in one case feminine, in the other masculine.' A chief feature of this study is the remarkably extensive use John Haffenden has made of primary research materials - manuscript drafts, notes, marginalia, diary entries and letters, all of which are printed here for the first time - to illuminate and explain the poems. This book is both a critical analysis of Berryman's mature works and an internal narrative of the poet's struggles and success. It includes comprehensive notes and commentary on 'The Dream Songs' and on 'Delusions, Etc.' , as well as an authoritative discussion and assesment of 'Love & Fame'.
