This Bible Companion provides answers and instruction on the pastor’s duties, the priority of prayer, the role of women, and how to find qualified leaders.

Close Calls: What Adulterers Want You to Know About Protecting Your Marriage –by Dave Carder
On the day you said “I do” to forsaking all others, you meant it. You would never—you could never—forsake your beloved for another person. “It would never happen to me,” you’ve said. “I love my spouse.”
But time and stress have a way of steering us to the cliff of an adulterous affair. Though we don’t often admit it, we’ve all had close calls. How do you put up guardrails to protect yourself? This question is answered practically in Dave Carder’s book Close Calls. He writes, “This book will not only help you be more alert to close calls—it will strengthen your marriage.”

Stories of Jesus
Jesus loved to tell stories. He told the kind you can’t forget—stories about two sons, about a house without a foundation, and about a field full of workers. He told of common things like salt and light, money and seeds, parents and children. Yet in the middle of the familiar, you often discover something you didn’t see or understand before.
Selected from The Message, Eugene Peterson’s modern paraphrase of the Bible, Stories of Jesus delivers a fresh approach to Jesus’s timeless stories. Read them one at a time, perhaps as food for thought, or for conversation at the dinner table, or ponder a few at a time by yourself. You’ll be amazed at how their messages ring new and relevant.

Church Family Values Bible Companion
“Good Church” . . . Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? We agree.
Too often, a church takes its cues from the world and simply offers services to consumers. Chuck Swindoll reminds us that the church should instead value integrity in leadership, honor among everyone, and grace balanced with accountability. Sounds more like a family, doesn’t it? That’s what church should be . . . And can become.

God Knows What He’s About – MP3 Series
Purchased MP3 series can be downloaded as a single .zip file that includes all the MP3 messages from the series or separately as individual MP3 files.
When we consider the vastness of the universe and the seven billion souls inhabiting our planet, we can struggle to believe that God cares about our circumstances. And yet . . .
God guided wayward Jonah from Tarshish to Nineveh through a storm and a great fish. God introduced the world to His Son in a meager animal stall through a small-town girl and a humble man who believed the impossible. God transformed Paul from a terrorist who sought to wipe out Christianity into an incomparable missionary.
We can trust that God knows us! He cares! And His plans are woven in the fabric of our everyday lives. Join Chuck Swindoll in this special message series and discover that, even when we wonder and doubt, God knows what He’s about.
