Speculation about the second coming of our Lord is nothing new. The saints in Thessalonica were already being misled. Paul's two corrective letters, among his earliest, deal with the issue in a way that is profound and practical, as well as giving details to be found nowhere else in the New Testament. The 'rapture', the man of lawlessness, the temple - these and other features are uniquely here. But there is also much sound advice for those wh...

Here is an exciting journey through the last book in the Bible, providing many powerful, fresh insights. With a new, very personal approach to Bible study, this book points us to some of the amazing things that God has revealed, helping us to apply these truths to ourselves, our churches and our understanding of the future

Here is a lively journey through the Gospel according to Mark, providing many powerful, fresh insights. With a new, very personal approach, this book helps us to understand and apply revealed truth.

Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leader...

Attacks by the enemy against the church are much more successful when they come from the inside, and one of the quickest ways to do that is to pervert or corrupt or erode the gospel. Legalism and licence are still with us. But so is true liberty. We are free not to sin - and free to be bold, if we will only walk in the Spirit.

Eyewitnesses, Jesus' own words and astonishing works all point to one who was truly God come in the flesh, the living Word, the very glory of God among humanity. John's collected evidence and proof all make the most compelling testimony to Jesus' right to demand our ongoing trust and obedience.

But I'm not a Hebrew! So why should I read a letter addressed to Jewish believers?' Because the author's warnings and appeals ('Don't go back, do go on') are needed by Christians teetering on the slippery slope of backsliding or simply standing still. For the eager believer, still running the race, this letter offers a new perspective on both the Old Testament and the Lord Jesus. It answers the crucial question: where is he now and what is he ...

Taking the middle section of the Apostles' Creed as a framework, the author explains the fundamental facts about Jesus, on which the Christian faith is based, in a fresh and stimulating way.

A 'kingdom' is a group of people ruled by one person, the 'king', who makes all the laws himself without their votes or approval. The concept is anathema to contemporary democracy and its confidence in government by the people, the naive assumption that majorities will always get it right. History does not encourage optimism. There have been more bad kings than good, even in God's chosen people Israel.Behind our world's problems, which baffle ...

REVISED AND UPDATED TO INCLUDE DAVID'S MOST RECENT TEACHING 2014.

Russian language edition of Unlocking the Bible (Old Testament) by David Pawson.

It must bewilder many Christians that teachers and preachers using the same Bible can come up with so many different interpretations and, more particularly, applications of God's Word. One of the main reasons for this confusion is their handling of the word 'covenant', which is so fundamental to scripture. The two key questions are: how many covenants has God made with human beings and how many of these apply to Christians today? Some say ther...

Yo espero que nada sobrenatural suceda hoy en nuestra Iglesia' fue la honesta pero simpática reacción de una anciana miembro de nuestra iglesia' cuando su pastor lanzo una serie de veinte sermones abarcando toda mención sobre el Espíritu Santo en la Biblia. Sus esperanzas fueron frustradas cuando su mismo pastor tuvo un totalmente inesperado encuentro con el Espíritu Santo, llevándole (en realidad, orando) en lenguas, por un diácono enfermo qu...

Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus have sometimes been labelled his 'Pastoral Epistles'. Scholars have assigned them to a later period in Paul's ministry, when churches he founded were more settled in structure, perhaps after release from his first imprisonment in Rome and during a second (which may be true). Others postulate a later pseudonymous writer, claiming to be Paul (which may not be true). The fact is that all Paul's letters are '...

Turning water into wine took Jesus a few minutes. Changing a reed (which 'Simon' means) into a rock ('Peter') took quite a few years. Which is the greater miracle, transmuting nature or transforming human nature? Many identify with Simon Peter's weaknesses, not least his knack of opening his mouth and putting his foot in it! On one occasion he even swore that he didn't know his best friend, just to save his own skin. Jesus taught this fisherma...

The so-called 'Lord's Prayer' is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their 'many words'.Above all, it is comprehensive, covering all the basic concerns of a Christi...

In recent years, we have seen the growth of a new breed of social investors using a social impact investment approach to design innovative businesses that tackle poverty and its related social issues. The authors describe the growth of this new investment sector.

Unlike Paul's other letters, this one is not addressed to particular churches or individuals, with their own needs and problems (even "Ephesians" is not in all the early copies). It is a circular despatch, covering general matters of belief (chapters 1-3) and behaviour (chapters 4-6), applicable to all churches and Christians everywhere. It is one of the clearest statements in the New Testament of God's purpose in saving us and is as practical...

Were it not for problems in the church at Corinth, we might never have had Paul's teaching on marriage and celibacy, supernatural gifts, the resurrection and, above all, his sublime description of Christian love. We have just two of the four letters he wrote to them. They reveal his major concerns for his converts - to see them mature as individuals and to integrate them properly into Spirit-filled fellowships. Follow-up was essential to New T...

Each book in the Explaining series examines an important aspect of the Christian faith and is written in a way that presents the message of the Bible clearly and simply. In this book David Pawson teaches what the Bible says about Grace.
