Her Gates Will Never Be Shut

Hope, Hell, and the New Jerusalem

By: Brad Jersak

Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone--these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not? Reacting to presumptions in like manner, others write off the fiery images of final judgment altogether. If there is a God who loves us, then surely all are welcome into the heavenly kingdom, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors in this life. Yet, given the sheer volume of threat rhetoric in the Scriptures and the wickedness manifest in human history, the pop-universalism of our day sounds more like denial than hope. Mercy triumphs over judgment; it does not skirt it. Her Gates Will Never Be Shut endeavors to reconsider what the Bible and the Church have actually said about hell and hope, noting a breadth of real possibilities that undermines every presumption. The polyphony of perspectives on hell and hope offered by the prophets, apostles, and Jesus humble our obsessive need to harmonize every text into a neat theological system. But they open the door to the eternal hope found in Revelation 21-22: the City whose gates will never be shut; where the Spirit and Bride perpetually invite the thirsty who are outside the city to "Come, drink of the waters of life.

Kissing the Leper

Seeing Jesus in the Least of These

By: Brad Jersak,Eugene H. Peterson,Andy MacPherson,Matt Borck

Kissing the Leper is about eyes that see. Jesus once counselled us to "buy medicine for your eyes from me so that you can see, really see" (Rev. 3:18 MSG). Kissing the Leper is about getting our eyes repaired from religious and cultural prejudice so that we can see Jesus in others, especially those that our world discards as "the least." The author has compiled the voices and testimonies of historical and contemporary practitioners to develop a devotional theology of encounter. Specifically, Brad Jersak challenges us to meet and welcome Christ in human form from society's margins to the banqueting table of God.

What's the Plan?

Your Pain, God's Purpose

By: Brad LeRoy

If you live long enough, some level of pain, in some area of your life, will find you. When it does, many people are tempted to ask “Why?” It’s a fair and natural question to ask. The problem is, it’s the wrong question. If you ask the question “Why” for too long, you will just end up in the same place you’re already in, with the same problems to solve. The much better question to ask is “What’s the Plan?” It’s only when we move from “Why” to “What” that we begin to gain traction. When it comes to pain, we can actually do more with “What” than with “Why”. This is the moment where God is given complete control of everything, where pain is no longer in the driver’s seat and forward momentum can begin to happen again. Through the life of Job, my own personal experiences and most importantly the Lord’s Prayer, we will discover how to find God’s purpose in the middle of our pain.

By: Brad Gray

Your decisions matter. You've been created to live a great story and leave a dent in this universe. Wrestling with our calling in life is a fundamental struggle for just about everyone. Who are we supposed to be? How are we supposed to live? What are we supposed to do? These are all questions many of us grapple with. Surprisingly, the Samson narrative is one of the most instructive stories for helping us answer these questions.

Perfect for personal and small group study, Make Your Mark will reignite your sense of purpose and stretch your faith so you can find the next step on the journey towards your calling.
