5 Great Books about the Holy Spirit
Here at the beginning of 2024 I’ve been preaching a series on The Holy Spirit at Immanuel. Here are five books that have proved helpful in my preparation.

A Pastor Gives Thanks
Like you, I have many reasons to give thanks – salvation, family, health. Without minimizing those blessings, I want to focus on seven things I’m thankful for as a pastor.
3 Reasons You Need Jesus and Religion and Rules
All things considered, I think it would be better for churches today to be clear about their rules and their religion.
Who Defines the Church?
Who gets to define the church? God does, and God has revealed his desire for his church in books like Titus.
Whose Wisdom?
Will I listen to and accept the wisdom of God as revealed in 1 Timothy, or will I embrace the wisdom of the world? No one will be able to do both.
The Good News
As we come to the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, I pray that you know the good news of Jesus Christ. This good news is rooted in the truth about the one true God.
Hope in Suffering
I don’t think you need me to convince you that suffering is an inevitable part of life. Instinctively and experientially, we know that suffering is unavoidable, and that means we ought to listen when the Bible speaks directly about suffering.
The Kindness of Jesus
Recently my Bible reading plan took me through John 21. As I closed out the fourth gospel, I was struck by the kindness of Jesus.
The Miracles of Christmas
In addition to all the things that make Christmas “magical,” I pray you take time to remember the things that made the first Christmas “miraculous.”
