Jesus: The Greatest Life of All

Jesus of Nazareth undoubtedly represents one of the most talked-about figures ever to walk the earth. His life, teaching, and ministry shook ancient Judea, and His impact remains evident throughout the world two thousand years later.

Yet Jesus was more than a humble servant, a wise teacher, or a bold prophet. He was all these and much more. Jesus Christ was—and is—the very Son of God!

Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll for this series on the life of Jesus Christ and come to see that the one we call “Lord” is worth following and emulating—worshipping in fact! He lived the greatest life of all.

Straight Talk for Seminary Students

Saying YES! to God’s call to ministry often feels like entering a send-off rally filled with clapping and hoorays. A new adventure awaits, and you eagerly anticipate seeing lives transformed by the living God.

Yet, if you’re not careful, that awe can easily fade as the spiritual journey turns into a day-after-day, thankless grind.

Spirit-driven virtues must abide for a lifetime of ministry. Grit and humility. Contentment and faithfulness. Gratitude and holiness.

That’s why Chuck Swindoll exhorts Christian servants toward these qualities, and more, in this series of straight talks for seminary students. Receive the wisdom and encouragement you need to persevere in the spiritual harvest.

Growing Up in God’s Family

God’s Word describes the body of believers as “brothers and sisters” and “co-heirs” with Jesus, and when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began by saying, “Our Father.” Why?

We’re a family in Christ. And like any family, God’s family is filled with people in all stages of spiritual development: newborn believers, those still adolescent in their walk, and the spiritually mature.

Join Chuck Swindoll as he takes an in-depth look at the stages of growth that characterize the Christian walk.

Gods Masterwork, Volume Six

Do you need a biblical pick-me-up? The New Testament contains 13 letters written by the apostle Paul that explain theology, correct faults, encourage godly living, and outline the structure and function of the church. God’s Masterwork, Volume Six: Letters to God’s People—A Survey of Romans–Philemon describes how these topics apply to your life today.

In God’s Masterwork, Volume Six, Chuck Swindoll reminds listeners that even though the apostle wrote during the first century AD, Paul’s epistles comprise God’s inspired, inerrant Word, which applies to your life today. So, you can read these New Testament letters as if Paul addressed them to you!

Enjoy God’s Masterwork, Volume Six, and grow in your love and obedience to Christ.
