Wie können Christen wachsen? Kaum jemand stellt in Frage, dass die Bibel uns dazu aufruft, in unserem Glaubensleben zu wachsen. Aber die Erklärung, wie das genau vor sich gehen soll, ist oftmals vage. Dane Ortlund lenkt den Blick der Gläubigen auf Christus. Er macht deutlich, dass der Weg der Heiligung nicht darin besteht, mehr zu tun oder besser zu werden, sondern tiefer in die wunderbaren Wahrheiten des Evangeliums einzutauchen, die für uns gelten, seit wir mit ihm vereint wurden. Dabei stützt sich Ortlund auf den Erkenntnisschatz von Persönlichkeiten aus der gesamten Kirchengeschichte.

If we are not in Christ, this life is the best we will ever experience. If we are in Christ, this life is the worst we will ever experience. But amid the hurry and distractions of this life, we're only dimly aware of the celestial bliss just around the next bend in the road. In Finally Home, Dane Ortlund plunges into the word of God and the wisdom of the saints to help us rightly think about heaven, and to draw strength from our coming future more deeply than we ever have before.

Die Psalmen erzählen von Gottes Größe und Fürsorge. Sie drücken die Gefühle und Erfahrungen des menschlichen Herzens aus und zeigen, wie man sich jederzeit an Gott wenden kann. »Du bist mein Fels« von Bestsellerautor Dane Ortlund ermutigt den Leser mit kurzen Andachten zum Nachdenken und Beten über jeden einzelnen Psalm. Der Bibeltext der Psalmen ist im Buch enthalten.

Christen sehnen sich danach, im Glauben zu wachsen, geraten dabei aber häufig ins Straucheln. Die Sünde sitzt tief, wir versagen immer wieder und sind leicht versucht, aufzugeben. Aber das muss nicht so sein. In Wie Gott Uns Verändert erklärt Dane Ortlund, dass wir nirgendwo anders als bei Christus selbst nach echtem Wachstum suchen müssen. Gott verändert uns, indem wir tiefer in genau die Wahrheiten eindringen, die für uns gelten, seit wir mit Christus vereint wurden.

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done — but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is "gentle and lowly in heart." This audiobook reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive. In this audiobook, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.

In our current culture, the church and prayer are often dismissed as irrelevant. But when believers gather and pray together, powerful things happen: the Spirit equips the saints for ministry, the helpless are met with help, and believers experience the joy of being led by the Spirit of Jesus. In this audiobook, Paul E. Miller, bestselling author of A Praying Life, casts a vision for a return to the simple yet life-changing practice of praying together. Through personal stories and biblical examples, Miller teaches the why, what, and how of praying together.

As followers of Christ, we long to grow in godliness, but we often find ourselves stuck. Sin runs deep, we continue to fail, and we are easily tempted to give up. It doesn’t have to be that way.

When God-in-the-flesh showed up twenty centuries ago in Palestine, the religious PhDs rejected him and the prostitutes and social outcasts flocked to him. Why? . . Because the open welcome of divine grace that Jesus offers, open to anyone who would simply leave their moral resume at home, is not predictable. It is not safe. It is subversive. . .

Death is a powerful and sobering reality. While everyone must face death, it is not the end for those united with Christ. Followers of Jesus Christ have resurrection hope―the proclamation that Christ has defeated death and the promise that believers shall share in his victory. The resurrection is essential to the Christian faith and is rooted in the faithfulness of God.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today. In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul.

The theme of divine sonship stretches across the pages of the Bible: from Adam in the garden of Eden, through the nation of Israel and King David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem―the Son of God par excellence. In this volume, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ's fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God.
