Who Do You Think You Are? DVD Based Study: Finding Your True Identity in Christ

by Mark Driscoll

Item Number:

DVD -- Pastor Mark Driscoll answers the one question you need to ask: Who am I in Christ? Being a Christian can be like driving in a foreign city. You try living on the straight and narrow but instead take a wrong turn onto the wide avenue of sin and temptation. In the process, you become discouraged and condemned, limping along in your faith-or giving up altogether. But this isn't the real Christian life. You can make a U-turn. Pastor Mark Driscoll knows that the issue of our identity underlies our struggles in life. "The fundamental problem we have in this world," he says, "is that we don't understand who we truly are-children of God made in His image-and define ourselves by any number of things other than Jesus." Who are you in Christ? Among other things you are a saint, you are blessed, you are saved, you are afflicted, and you are heard. These are a few of the fundamental truths that Pastor Mark explores in his in-depth study of Ephesians, the Who Do You Think You Are? DVD-Based Study.

Why You Matter: How Your Quest for Meaning Is Meaningless without God

by Michael Sherrard

Item Number: 1282

Book -- What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our lives, including - Who am I? - How should I treat others? - What should I do with my life? - How do I make sense of suffering? If you have struggled with a sense of self-worth and direction in your life, or if you have a friend, colleague, or family member who is searching for meaning in a world of suffering, chaos, and uncertainty, Why You Matter will give you confidence that your life matters--but maybe not for the reasons you think.

Worship in the Way of the Cross: Leading Worship for the Sake of Others

by John Frederick

Item Number: 1246

Book -- Too often worship is seen as just the music, an onstage performance that puts the spotlight on the worship leader. But worship is fundamentally an other-centered, self-giving act of service. Worship properly directed to God for his glory also results in the Christlike formation and transformation of both worship leaders and congregants. In Worship in the Way of the Cross, worship leader and biblical scholar John Frederick unpacks the shape of worship in the way of the cross, where leaders act not as lords but as servants. Combining biblical exposition and practical insights, he explores a cruciform theology of worship: as the cross demonstrates the nature of God, worship in the way of the cross transforms us into the image of God who is love. Thus worshipers and worship leaders alike can come to embody the other-centered humility of Christ. This paradigm has implications for how worship leaders and pastoral staff relate to one another, and for renewing the artistic output of the church. In cruciform worship, we encounter the Son of God and embody the love of God. Discover how in worship we can empty ourselves for the transformation of others.
