Jesus: Fact & Fiction

The character of Jesus Christ looms large in the history of the world. This one man has influenced more people and cultures than anyone else. But the ""new critics"" and popular culture have distorted truths about the greatest man in history. 

In Jesus: Fact and Fiction, author Robert M. Bowman busts current myths and answers popular questions about Jesus such as:

Was Jesus a mythical figure?

Are the Gnostic gospels better sources for Jesus than the New Testament Gospels?

Where was Jesus during his "lost years"?

Did the "Jesus family tomb" belong to Jesus Christ?

Is Jesus just one of the world's many religious founders?

Did the early church twist the Old Testament to support its claim that Jesus was the Messiah?

and other questions.

The Prayer Warriors Way

Strategies from Heaven for Intimate Communication with God by Cindy Trimm

Everything starts with prayer. There is a conversation that has been going on long before this universe was created a conversation taking place in the spiritual realm. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were part of it. Throughout the history of humanity others have joined it, and there is something buried in each of our hearts that tells us we were created to be part of it as well.

We long for it. We yearn to be in on it. But despite giving our lives to Christ and being born again in the Spirit, we dont always know how to plug into it. So we stay in earths chat rooms rather than praying from heavens throne room. Even Jesus disciples did not ask Him how to preach, but how to pray.

The Prayer Warriors Way is a practical guide for praying, enabling you to become versed in the basics necessary for talking to and hearing from God for yourself. Following the revolutionary prayer model Jesus gave to His disciples, Cindy Trimm gives you the keys to joining the most important conversation in the universe.

The Armor of God

This is a great teaching tool which will easily fit into most Bibles. It can be used in Group Bible Study, Discipleship, Men'd Groups, Women's Groups, Intercessor Training or personal Bible Study.


The Armor of God - Learn to "stand firm in the faith."

The Armor of God pamphlet helps to bring Apostle Paul's message to the Ephesians (6:10-18) to life.

This bestselling pamphlet provides historically accurate background of a Roman Centurion's armor then draws vital correlations to the spiritual armor God gives his children: the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, Feet Prepared with Gospel of Peace, The Shield of Faith, The Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit. Glossy, full-color pamphlet will help you to "stand firm in the faith." 

12 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 33 inches long.

Learn to put on the full armor of God when facing temptations and struggles. The key to this best-selling pamphlet is the insights brought by Paul's knowledge of a Centurion's armor. Having a correct picture in mind is important to accurately teaching and understanding this portion of Scripture. 

While many other illustrations ofThe Armor of God show armor from the Middle Ages, or other time periods, the Rose illustration presents historically accurate Roman armor. In a side-by-side fold-out format, The Armor of God pamphlet describes each piece of armor, its historical background, and its application to our spiritual battles today.

The Apostle Paul knew how important it was for believers to understand the provision of spiritual armor that God made for them. Paul's teaching to the Church at Ephesus was born out of firsthand knowledge of Roman Centurions armor. He saw them up close on many occasions.

The Armor of God pamphlet provides the following information:

•   A detailed description of the armor of God

•   Historical background on how the armor was put on and its purpose

•   The application of the armor to our lives today, such as how the "Belt of Truth" prepares believers to be truthful

•   Other biblical passages

•   Greek or Latin terms

The pamphlet also presents:

•   The passage of Ephesians 6:10-18 verse-by-verse alongside an illustration of a Roman Centurion in full armour

•   Background information on Paul, his missionary journey, and life in Ephesus

•   A chart that helps believers stand firm in spiritual warfare by contrasting the "Devil's Schemes" with God's plan and the armor or weapon to combat it, and a Scriptural reference. For example: One of the Devil's schemes is LIES. God's plan/armor is Truth. Proverbs 14:25 would be a good reminder of God's plan

Armor of God pamphlet makes an excellent supplemental resource for these bestselling Christian authors titles: 

1. Kay Arthur, Lord, is it Warfare? Teach Me to Stand: A Devotional Study on Spiritual Victory

2. Beth Moore, Armed for War, enhanced CDDr. 

3. Charles F. Stanley, When the Enemy Strikes: The keys to Winning Your Spiritual Battles.

ALSO AVAILABLE IS THIS GREAT WALL CHART

Stand Firm in Faith!

This well-known passage from Ephesians 6:10-18 shows the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and more, each with a scripture reference. Reproducible worksheets on the back help students apply the principles of spiritual warfare. 19" x 26". Heavy chart paper. 

Many posters of the Armor of God show armor from the Middle Ages, not from the time of the Bible. This chart has historically accurate Roman armor. This is important to teaching and understanding this portion of the Bible. Includes historical and cultural insights.

Reproducible worksheets and teaching tips on back of this chart. Lamination will not affect the ability to photocopy worksheets.

Spiritual Gifts

Most Christians know something about Spiritual Gifts, but many don't realize how important they are. Believers are given Spiritual Gifts to contribute to the growth of the church. Spiritual Gifts are important because Scripture says that the church needs all of the gifts working together to help build the Body of Christ. Every believer counts! This pamphlet includes a Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire to determine which gift(s) you might have.

The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to Christians to help build the life and ministry of the Church. Yet, a large number of Christians do not use or even recognize their spiritual gift. Rose Publishing's Spiritual Gifts pamphlet will help you learn how important Spiritual Gifts are and how to develop the gift(s) the Holy Spirit has given you.

Topics in the Spiritual Gifts pamphlet include —

• A self-test "Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire" to determine which gift or gifts you may have.
• Description of each gift and how to develop it more as you minister to other believers.

Used for?

• Individual study
• Discipleship
• Small Group or Sunday School class
• Christian School
• Homeschoolers
• New Believers' class
• Church library

Study Questions for Personal Use or Small Groups:

1. Read pages 2-4: Based on page 2, what are the purposes of the gifts? These days many churches have paid staff; so why would the God give each believer a gift for the church? Why are these gifts important to all believers?


2. See page 3: Some gifts are very dramatic and visible and others are quiet and don't attract much attention. What is the main purpose of these gifts? Why do people need to be involved with other Christians, rather than becoming isolated? Scripture says we must appreciate each person's gift even if it is not very showy. How might you recognize the gifts that other believers have?


3. See page 4 and the 8 biblical ways that Holy Spirit works in our lives: The Holy Spirit is actively at work in the church with the purpose of glorifying Christ and helping the body of Christ (believers in the church) become more mature. Look at the list: Pick two ways the Holy Spirit acts and why they are important to the church. What would happen if these did not happen? How might you help carry out these priorities in your church?


4. Read all of page 5 and then go back to the first paragraph. If the Holy Spirit provides the life to the body, how do the members "keep it moving"? Later in the Spiritual Gifts pamphlet, each gift will be described, but based on these four lists of spiritual gifts from Scripture, why do you think such a wide variety of gifts is given to the church? Pick any two gifts and tell how (in your opinion) they fit into the Holy Spirit's priorities on page 4.


5. Read page 6-7: Christians in every type of church agree on what the spiritual gifts are, but not all Christians agree on precisely how and when they are to be used. Look at Paul's warning at the bottom of page 6 (taken from 2 Corinthians 12:12-26) about not being arrogant but showing concern for each member of the body (each person) so that the church isn't divided. How can we show concern and respect and avoid hard feelings today?


6. Read pages 8-10 describing each gift. Pick two gifts and read the Bible verses that go with it. Questions: How does this gift build up other believers? Give two examples of ways it ministers to the church. Is there a way this gift might be misused?


7. Answer the questions on the Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire on pages 11-13. Which gift(s) do you think you might have and why? How could you use this gift to minister to others in your church? Are there any ministries in your church you could help?

Messiah in the Feast of Israel

5 Ways the Feasts of Israel Apply to You

Are you interested in the Old Testaments' customs, traditions, and feasts, but find them a bit confusing and un-relatable? Are you less likely to exclaim, "That applies to me" while reading about the Old Testament's traditions than the New Testament's parables? Did you know that the ancient feasts of the Bible actually symbolize God's redemptive program through Jesus Christ?

Some people ask, "Why should Christians know about ancient Jewish customs?" Old Testament holy days, such as the Feasts of Israel, provide a rich illustration and prophetic reflection of Jesus Christ. In fact, God called these special days his appointed feasts for all times, establishing them as memorials for his mighty works.

Uncover the connection between the Feasts of Israel and Jesus Christ in Sam Nadler's book Messiah in the Feasts of Israel .

Did You Know that Jesus Celebrated the Feasts of Israel?

Jesus and his disciples participated in a Passover feast, commonly known to Christians today as the Last Supper. In fact, Jesus recognized the importance of a number of feasts' customs throughout the New Testament. For example, Jesus waited until the seventh day of Sukkot, the greatest day, during the water pouring ceremony, to reveal that those who come to him will find "a living water." Jesus also intentionally exclaimed, "I am the Light of the world," as he stood near the 75-foot candlesticks erected for Sukkot.

Ideas for Use?

Additional Questions for Discussion or Journaling

1. Read "A Sanctifying Sin" (13). What are responsibilities and distractions that keep us from Shabbat (from resting)? How can Christians find peace in today's fast pace world?
2. Read "The Feast of Passover" (pg. 20-59). Before the Passover celebration, participants remove all leavened products from the home. What are the historical and spiritual reasons for this removal? How can we "clean house," our hearts, on a day-to-day basis?
3. Read "Do This in Remembrance of Me" (pg. 47-50). What does the third cup symbolize? How can we remember Jesus' redemptive sacrifice in a contemporary context?
4. Read "Firstfruits: Our Resurrected Messiah" (pg. 62-78). Name the obstacles one would have to face to steal the body of the Messiah? How can knowing this knowledge reaffirm Christians' faith?
5. Read "Getting Caught Up" (pg. 108-109). According to Nadler, how does the Feast of Trumpets relate to the Rapture? What does this suggest about the contemporary relevance of the Feast of Israel?
6. Read "Water and Spirit" (155-158). One of the major temple customs practiced during Sukkot involves a water-pouring ceremony. What did this water-pouring ceremony initially represent? How did Jesus and the Holy Spirit fulfill this?
7. Review "Water and Spirit" (155-158).What can keep Christians from daily responding to Jesus' invitation to "come?" How can Christians prevent themselves from becoming "spiritually dry?"
8. Read "Messiah, The Eternal Sukkah" (168-169) and "Our Protection In The Sukkah" (170-171). What is a Sukkah? How is Jesus Christians' Sukkah? In what ways can Christians learn to "dwell" in Jesus? What obstacles might Christians need to overcome to learn how to "cover" themselves in Christ?

Doing Church in the 21st Century

Permission Granted: To Do Church Differently In The 21st Century!

Did you ever wish you had permission to change the way you “do church”? Well, now you have it.
Permission Granted: To Do Church Differently In The 21st Century

You have permission to: Welcome His Presence.
1. Grow in Christ as He has desired.
2. Experience a God-orchestrated meeting.
3. Become the Church, not attend the church.
4. Grow in intercessory prayer.

This “how to” book provides proven tactics to move your church into a “Third Day” realm fully committed to worship. Follow along with authors Graham Cooke and Gary Goodell (director of Permission Ministries and a leader of ThirdDayChurches.com) as they share their years of experience developing new ways to welcome His presence into your church, home, community, your life and the lives of those in the congregation.
"Permission is Granted....will provoke new thoughts that will challenge you to change. If you are satisfied with the present condition of the Church, then this book will offend you. But if you are craving for fresh expressions of your personal and corporate faith that are relevant for today and tomorrow's world, then the words in this book will stir you to action. Permission is Granted...., written by Gary Goodell and Graham Cooke, is strategically thought out, Biblically grounded, and filled with vision and faith. Take the dare and let your heart run wild; dream a big dream of a Third-Day Church that has both new wineskins and new wine." --James W. Goll, Cofounder of Encounters Network, Author of The Seer, Dream Language, and The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence
"Gary Goodell has been 'around the block' concerning the religious world. He has operated in traditional churches and seen all manner of flakiness as people seek to come into their spirituality. Consequently, he has a great perspective over what the Third-Day Church should really look like. Permission Is Granted...encourages us that God is bringing great change to what we have known as 'church life.' You will enjoy reading this." --Chuck D. Pierce, Glory of Zion International Ministries, Denton, Texas
"As the Body of Christ forges ahead in this third millennium, there is great need for pioneers, fathers, and those willing to 'follow the cloud.' Gary Goodell has always been this kind of leader, through his many years in his Pentecostal roots of Foursquare, during the renewal days of Vineyard, and now as the apostolic leader of Third-Day churches. His new book, Permission Is Granted..., is more than a model; it is a mirror of lifestyle that Gary and Jane Goodell, as well as those who God has sovereignly connected to them from around the world, have lived and walked for may years. Thank God for those who are willing to write the story, rather than always reading someone else's. I strongly recommend this prophetic manual to all those whom God is leading into the Third Day." --Jill Austin, Master Potter Ministries, Laguna Hills, California
Graham Cooke has been involved in prophetic ministry since 1974. He founded the School of Prophecy. A popular conference speaker, Graham has established a wide range of training programs that are renowned for their practical application, teaching content, and prophetic impartation.

Gary Goodell has been doing ministry stuff for 40 years. He directs Permission Ministries, a mentoring system for Simple Church and helps lead ThirdDayChurches.com. He is the father of two married children and the grandfather of six. He and his wife, Jane, live in San Diego, California.

On several occasions, history has provided the needed critical mass and the synergistic inertia to thrust the church into breaking out of its' box and becoming the force in culture and society that God intended it to be.

Today, the church, in the 21st Century, has once again reached this "critical mass." It is something so big and so obvious that the winds of change demand we look hard at our forms and face the reality that a different church must provide a different response to a postmodern age. This Third Millennium ("a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day," 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4), or this "Third Day" requires a "Third Way" of doing and being the church.
This book tells the story of one of those churches—a single-cell, Sunday morning, building—driven, pastor-dominated church that has broken out into an empowering network of churches and ministries. It is a must read for anyone who wants to 'do church differently,' in the third millennium.
