Rock Solid: 12 Gospel Truths to Live By
Ebook
Overview
Rock Solid aims to help us get to grips with Christian truth and helps us to see that these truths are not just for knowing in our minds but for acting upon in our day to day lives. If faith is not lived out, it is worth nothing. This book explains and clarifies these important and powerful doctrines, or ‘themes’, of the Bible so that we might have the comfort and assurance that comes from them, and so that we can make our life decisions by them.
This is primarily a book to be worked through. It is written in the hope that it will not simply be read straight through, but, in men’s or women’s groups, or informal small groups, it will be used as a means of getting a clear hold on the truths that define who we are as followers of Christ.
- Each chapter focuses on doctrinal truths
- Brief contemporary stories are also included to show how truths have been used by God
- Includes a short Bible study and discussion questions aimed at stimulating our thinking and encouraging our action.
- Introduction: Why is doctrine so important? by Richard Coekin
- The unique supremacy of Christ by Trevor Archer
- The depravity of sin by Mike Ovey
- The penal substitution of Christ by Bob Horn
- Justification by faith alone by Garry Williams
- The sovereignty of God the Father by Liam Goligher
- The regeneration of God the Holy Spirit by David Field
- The reality of judgment by Justin Mote
- The priority of evangelism by Roger Carswell
- The authority of the Bible by Christopher Ash
- The centrality of Bible teaching by David Jackman
- The importance of the local church by Jonathan Stephen
- The necessity of holiness by Vaughan Roberts
There is little in the content that applies only to men, and so it actually turns out to be a very handy brief guide for Christians of all genders and stages of spiritual growth.
