| a commentary on acts david pawson: A commentary on DANIEL David Pawson, 2016-09-19 Many have heard, usually in childhood, about the lions refusing to make a meal of Daniel when he was thrown into their cage. Some know about the survival of his three companions in a “fiery furnace”. A few are even familiar with the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar and his confinement in his own private zoo on a diet of grass, the drastic prelude to his conversion. But all these fascinating tales are in the first biographical half of the book of Daniel describing past events. It is in the intriguing autobiographical second half that future international happenings are described in astonishing detail, exactly as they later occurred. Miracles, then prophecies, in the extraordinary story of this kidnapped teenager who rose to the top of an alien government and witnessed the rise and fall of emperors and empires. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on ISAIAH David Pawson, 2019-11-26 The book of Isaiah is the whole Bible in miniature. The first 39 chapters reflect the themes of the 39 books in the Old Testament, and the last 27 chapters prefigure the events of the New, from John the Baptist to the new heaven and earth. Yet the prophet lived and died (horribly) centuries before Jesus was born. A miracle in words! Readers are now invited to explore and discover for themselves the message of Isaiah, which is as timely as it is timeless. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Unlocking the Bible David Pawson, 2003 A unique overview of both the Old and New Testaments, from a widely respected evangelical speaker and writer. Unlocking the Bible opens up the word of God in a fresh and powerful way. Avoiding the small detail of verse by verse studies, it sets out the epic story of God and his people in Israel. The culture, historical background and people are introduced and the teaching applied to the modern world. Eight volumes have been brought into one compact and easy to use guide to cover both the Old and the New testaments in one massive omnibus edition. Old Testament: * The Maker's Instructions - The five books of law * A Land and A Kingdom - Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings * Poems of Worship and Wisdom - Psalms, Song of Solomon, proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job * Decline and Fall of an Empire - Isaiah, Jeremiah and other prophets * The Struggle to Survive - Chronicles and prophets of exile New Testament: * The Hinge of History - Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and acts * The Thirteenth Apostle - Paul and his letters * Through Suffering to Glory - Revelation, Hebrews, and the letters of James, Peter and Jude |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Hebrews David Pawson, 2014-02-07 Hebrews’ 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. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Jude David Pawson, 2013-05-10 The Letter of Jude has a sharp cutting edge which exposes raw flesh. That indeed is the real problem: flesh in the church. This little letter will cut through that and expose it, and that is going to sting. But we are sensitive, and the real reason that we neglect a passage of scripture is that we do not like it. The church can be destroyed from inside; it is not external dangers, it is internal dangers we need to be concerned about, and this is Jude's concern. Every Christian must live dangerously. This world is not occupied territory, so it is the most dangerous thing to be part of the church. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew David Pawson, Tbd, 2020-03-12 You see the full character of Christ through the four different portraits in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each of them is painting a different picture - not a contradictory one, but filling it out with a new aspect. Matthew paints the King of the Jews. That is his object. We now suddenly realise why Matthew is the first in the New Testament, even if it was not the first to be written. The answer is that it is the nearest Gospel to the Old Testament, the most Jewish one that picks up the threads of all that has gone before.... |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Acts David Pawson, 2014-07-02 Dr. Luke's second volume is a book of 'firsts': the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the first convert, the first healing, the first arrest and trial, the first deacons, the first martyr, the first persecution, the first Gentile mission and many more. It's the first-hand account of 'how they brought the news from Jerusalem to Rome' (to misquote Robert Browning), from the spiritual capital in the continent of Asia to the secular metropolis in Europe. Nothing can stop the spread of the gospel when the church is on fire! The founding fathers were beset by troubles which, under God's direction, were all turned into triumphs. Study of their exploits will leave you with some disturbing questions. Should our church be like this? Could it be? Above all, do I want it to be? |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Israel in the New Testament David Pawson, 2015-04-15 Now including a new chapter: Israel in Galatians'. Over 80% of the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament have been literally fulfilled. It is a simple matter of faith in God's faithfulness to believe that he means what he says, and will do what he says he will do. This study reveals that both the people and the place called 'Israel' have a significant role in God's future plans for world redemption. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Leadership is Male David Pawson, 2015-05-20 From the Foreword by Elisabeth Elliott: A simple, sane, serious treatment of the subject by a man who loves God, respects women, and takes the inspiration of Scripture and the integrity of the apostles for granted. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Selected Psalms David Pawson, 2020-01-24 Here is a wealth of insight on a great selection of Psalms which will help preachers and all believers to appreciate their richness and depth of meaning. For example, the author comments on Psalm 23: David wrote this Psalm at the height of his maturity when he could have said as most men in this world say, “I can manage my own life. I don’t need anyone else, I’ll sort out my own problems,” but he didn’t. Even though he reached the top of his career if you like; even though he was the top man of his nation, the King of Israel, he was saying: I am a sheep and I need a shepherd. This Psalm is not for those who are dying, it is for those who are living. One reason why we apply it to death is that in the Authorized Version the word “death” was put into the Psalm and it is not there. It is, “Yea, though I walk through valley of deep darkness I will fear no evil.” You can walk through that valley tomorrow morning without dying. It is also due to the inclusion of the words at the end of the Psalm “forever”, making it a reference to the future life. But in fact, if you have a Bible with marginal references, you will notice at the bottom it is Hebrew “as long as I live”. Now Christians can read eternity into that, but David was talking about as long as he lived here. So this Psalm is to help you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, next week – however near your death or far from it you are. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation David Pawson, 2014-05-05 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 |

| a commentary on acts david pawson: A PREACHER'S LEGACY David Pawson, 2017-11-16 The author’s journey through different kinds of preaching: testimony (experience) preaching; text preaching; concordance sermons; topical preaching; passage preaching; preaching the whole Bible; contextual preaching.... He explains his method of discovering the structure of a Bible passage, preparation for preaching, and the practical aspects of delivering a sermon. He gives an account of the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing conviction. This book will help everyone who preaches and teaches Christianity. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Luke/Acts for Beginners Mike Mazzalongo, 2018-04-10 This book will review Luke's two volume historical narrative concerning Jesus' life and ministry as well the beginning and spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire as he experienced it. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: The Normal Christian Birth David Pawson, 2015-03-12 Basing his study on the New Testament, David Pawson advocates a synthesis of the 'liberal' emphasis on repentance, the 'evangelical' on faith, the 'sacramental' on baptism and the 'pentecostal' on the Spirit. He then relates these 'spiritual dooes' to the concepts of conversion and regeneration. The Normal Christian Birth looks at crucial and controversial texts, challenging traditional interpretations. The final section on evangelistic counselling questions the adequacy of the typical 'sinner's prayer' approach. Drawing from scripture and experience, David Pawson gives many practical tips on helping potential discipes to repent, believe, be baptised and receive the Spirit. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Is John 3:16 the Gospel? David Pawson, 2014-04-15 The author writes: John 3:16 is often referred to as 'the gospel in a nutshell'. I believe it is one of the most mistranslated verses in the Bible. Like most Christians I totally misunderstood the verse. So I am warning you now that I may spoil John 3:16 for you for the rest of your life. But I hope that this book will also give you the true meaning of what is a wonderful message, and a very important one, especially for Christians. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: What the Bible says about the Holy Spirit David Pawson, 2015-05-20 This new book covers the following themes: - Why do People Seek the Holy Spirit? - The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament - The Holy Spirit in the New Testament (an Overview, and the Holy Spirit in: the Gospels; John; Acts; Epistles; Revelation) - The Holy Spirit in History |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Come with Me Through Isaiah David Pawson, 2011-05 The book of Isaiah is the whole Bible in miniature. The first 39 chapters reflect the themes of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the last 27 chapters prefigure the events of the New, from John the Baptist to the new heaven and earth. Yet the prophet lived and died (horribly) centuries before Jesus was born. A miracle in words! These studies were first given verbally by the author to his congregation. Now in print, readers are invited to come with me through these marvelous messages which are as timely as they are timeless. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on the Gospel of LUKE David Pawson, 2017-11-16 This long-awaited, major volume shows how this Gospel is for all sorts and conditions of people, including the poor, women and, above all, sinners – with a marked emphasis on prayer, praise and adoration. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Once Saved, Always Saved? David Pawson, 2021-07-30 The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether 'once saved, always saved' is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others. |

| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Galatians David Pawson, 2014-05-23 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. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Jesus Baptises in one Holy Spirit David Pawson, 2014-04-11 For the most part, the church has been silent about Jesus' role as baptiser in the Spirit, though John declared this to be the principal contribution of his Messianic ministry. Through exploration of the relevant scriptures of both Old and New Testaments, David Pawson describes eight essential elements in Spirit baptism. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on ROMANS David Pawson, 2015-08-11 Why would Paul write his longest letter to a church he had not founded or even visited? This expositor believes the answer lies in its history, culminating in a major crisis which could have split the whole church into two denominations. Originally Jewish (Acts 2:10–11), it soon attracted Gentiles, who were left on their own when Claudius evicted all Jews (Acts 18:2). In their absence a teaching emerged which we now know as 'Replacement Theology', believing that God has rejected the Jews and turned instead to the Christian Church as his chosen people on earth, a view which, alas, is now widespread. Paul's carefully argued answer shows how much believing Jews and Gentiles have in common, both in sin and salvation, in flesh and Spirit. This approach treats 'Chapters 9–11', (divisions never in his letter) as an integral part of his appeal, reaching its climax in a threefold challenge to the arrogance of the Gentile believers in Rome (11:18, 20, 25) in not warmly welcoming back into the fellowship the Jews who were allowed to return under Nero. This 'key' unlocks the whole epistle, from the solemn warning that believers can lose their salvation (11:20–22) to the careful instruction on how to live with 'disputable matters' such as diet and days (14:1 – 15:13); and ends with so many commands to greet each other with 'a holy kiss' (16:16). However, as with most of Paul's practical counsel, all this is firmly rooted in sound 'gospel' theology. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: When Jesus Returns David Pawson, 2003-08-21 Christians everywhere await Christ's return. Will he come to the whole world or just one place? Soon and suddenly or after clear signs? What can he achieve by coming back here and how long will it take? Few theologians speak with such clarity and uncompromising biblical faithfulness as David Pawson. Based on a new approach to the intrpretation of the book of Revelation, Pawson here discusses in detail the controversial and misunderstood subject of the Rapture and uncovers the true significance of the Millennium. This popular and highly topical book is being re-issued with a striking new cover. |

| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians David Pawson, 2015-02-13 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 who are 'so heavenly minded they are no earthly use'. Meddling in other people's business, living on the generosity of others rather than earning, despising prophetic words, sexual behaviour that is lust rather than love – these are just some of the arrows that find a target within the church. After two thousand years these letters are as relevant today as they ever were. Paul probably never guessed they would become part of scripture, which God intended to be used until history ended and eternity began. |

| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on Ephesians David Pawson, 2016-03-21 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 practically challenging as it is spiritually inspiring. Perhaps that is why it is such a popular choice for preachers. |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: Eternal Security Charles F. Stanley, 1990-08-27 Do you ever find yourself wondering . . . Is it actually possible to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I am going to heaven? If you say that my salvation is eternally secure and that I can never lose it, does that mean that I can commit any sin and still go to heaven? How can an understanding of eternal security make a difference in my Christian life? With the wisdom and skill of a man who has personally wrestled with these questions, internationally-known pastor and bestselling author Charles Stanley addresses the age-old issue of grace vs. works in this compassionate, straight-forward book. With questions at the end of each chapter, Eternally Secure is an excellent choice for individual or group study. I know from experience that until you settle once and for all the question of whether or not you are eternally secure, joy will elude you. Therefore, it is my prayer that God will use this book in your life and that in the very near future you will be able to face life with the confidence that comes through knowing you are eternally secure. ?Charles Stanley Previously published in hardcover (0840790953). |
| a commentary on acts david pawson: A Commentary on 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon. David Pawson, 2015-09-08 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 'pastoral' in content, full of paternal care and concern for his converts and their fellowships. What really distinguishes these is that they are addressed to individuals rather than churches. So it seems more appropriate to classify them as his 'Personal' correspondence. We can therefore expect them to reveal more of his personal relationship with his and their reactions to his delegated responsibilities, giving helpers their unique interest and relevance. It also enables us to include the brief note to Philemon, whose importance in the New Testament tends to be overlooked. |
