The Mystery of God’s Will: What Does He Want For Me?


Read a sample

 

“I believe God’s will for us in this life is not some black-and-white objective designed to take us to an appointed destination here on earth as much as it is about the journey itself . . . and what matters to God in our lives,” writes Chuck Swindoll. If you have a decision to make or an itch to better understand the sovereignty of God, this approachable, personal journey will help demystify, clarify, and put your mind at ease concerning God’s will for you.

Age: Your Ticket to Adventure – CD

Joshua 14:6–14

How old would you be if you didn’t know your age? Many people dwell on their age and worry about growing older. Pastor Chuck Swindoll asserts that age isn’t what’s important; rather, attitude is what enables one to live with youthful enthusiasm.

In this message, Pastor Chuck looks at the example of spunky, 85-year-old Caleb to take away two essential truths: first, view life as a challenge, not a threat, and second, follow God fully, not halfheartedly.

Join Pastor Chuck as he shows you from Joshua 14:6–14 how to live well—at any age!

The Mark of the Christian

“It is possible to be a Christian without showing the mark, but if we expect non-Christians to know that we are Christians, we must show the mark.”

Christians have not always presented an inviting picture to the world. Too often we have failed to show the beauty of authentic Christian love. And the world has disregarded Christianity as a result.

In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance, the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book. Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, “Love–and the unity it attests to–is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father.”

More than ever, the church needs to respond compassionately to a needy world. More than ever, we need to show the Mark.

Francis A. Schaeffer (1912–1984) was a pastor, theologian, and speaker with an international ministry who became one of the most influential figures in American evangelicalism during his lifetime. With his wife, Edith, he founded the L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. He was the author of many books, including Escape from Reason and How Should We Then Live?, which have sold millions of copies worldwide.

Needed: A Safe Place to Heal – CD

Inspired by Joshua 20:1–9, Pastor Chuck Swindoll reminds Christ-followers that the church should be a place of refuge . . . where the lives of broken people are mended and hearts are healed. Join Pastor Chuck in envisioning church as a place for people to experience the restorative power of God’s grace.

Misery, Midwives, and Murder – CD

Exodus 1

Despite brutal captives and cruel working conditions, the Israelites grew to be a large nation within Egypt.

Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll for a fascinating recap of Israel’s start in Egypt in Exodus 1, the people’s God-sized dilemma, and their need for a deliverer. The harsh climate nurtured a baby boy who would grow to become one of history’s greatest figures.

Be encouraged by powerful truths: hard times don’t erase God’s promises, harsh treatment doesn’t escape God’s notice, and heavy tests don’t eclipse God’s concern!
