Meals are an important part of hospitality and can be used to foster grace in our communities. Chester draws from six narratives in the Gospel of Luke to urge sacrificial giving and loving around the table.

Discovering Grace, Community, & Mission Around the Table

A Meal with Jesus

The chasm between evangelism and social action needs to be bridged. Chester convincingly argues that the truth of the gospel is best understood and embraced in the context of loving action and gospel-centered community.

Exodus for You

Enlarging Your Vision of Who God Is

Isaiah for You

Many extraordinary things happen in the Bible. People walk on water. People touch handkerchiefs and are healed. People disappear into the sky. Did these events really happen? What was their purpose? And do miracles happen today? How do we respond if someone says they’ve seen a miracle happen? Should we hold healing services? What can I say to a child about praying for healing? How should we react when prayers for healing aren’t answered? In this warm and accessible book, Tim Chester looks at the Bible's view of the existence and purpose of miracles and gives a careful and balanced view on whether healings and other miraculous things happen today. It will help Christians to explore these questions and others regarding miracles, signs and wonders, and know how to pray. Includes additional questions on: • Why did Jesus tell people not to tell others about his miracles? • How should I respond when I hear a claim that a miracle has happened? • Should we hold healing services? • What can I say to a child about praying for healing?

And other questions about signs, wonders and mighty works

Do Miracles Happen Today?

How does your church measure up? Total Church pleads for two key principles for church and mission. First, the gospel as content: being word-centred (for the gospel is truth) and being mission-centred (for the gospel is truth to be proclaimed). Secondly, the community as context: sharing our lives as Christians and offering a place of belonging to unbelievers. The authors apply these principles to church planting, evangelism, apologeti, social involvement, leadership, discipleship, pastoral care, world mission and notions of success. They critique current trends within the church: emerging church movements are strong on community but weak on truth, while conservative evangelicalism is strong on truth but weak on community. Their call is a call for the best of both. This is a timely and provocative book which deserves to be widely read and applied. ‘I am glad that this book is earthed and avoids the trap of dealing in theories that sound cool in a classroom but crash on the ground... I love books that make me answer back like this one did. (Out loud on a plane as well. Quite embarrassing.) Ian Coffey ‘Total Church accurately and insightfully identifies the local church as a gospel community on mission with Jesus.’ Mark Driscoll ‘Radical, punchy teaching that provokes, stimulates, challenges and inspires.’ Vaughan Roberts ‘Passionate and insightful.’ Chris Stoddard

"Poucos livros que são tão surpreendentemente honestos, cuidadosamente teológicos e, ao mesmo tempo, gloriosamente repletos de esperança. O livro Você Consegue Mudar, de Tim Chester, é tudo isso e muito mais. Ele usa habilmente os mais profundos sentidos da teologia da Palavra como uma lente para ajudar você a compreender a si mesmo e entender o caminho da mudança e, desse modo, contribui para que você experimente o que achava que já sabia. As seções de "reflexão" pessoal e a do "projeto de mudança" foram cuidadosamente criadas e já valem o preço do livro. É maravilhoso sermos relembrados que você e eu não estamos estacionados, e é reconfortante sermos guiados por alguém que conhece bem o caminho de onde viemos e a rota por onde precisamos ir." Paul Tripp

Into His Presence

Expository Bible-study guide to Isaiah. Isaiah can seem intimidating. It's a big book covering an extended timescale, full of unfamiliar names and places. You may be familiar with Isaiah's vision of God's holiness in chapter 6 or his description of the cross in chapter 53. But large sections can feel like alien territory. But the book of Isaiah is full of good news. Forming a kind of bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament, Isaiah enlarges our view of God, sharpens our understanding of salvation, and illuminates our Bible reading. It points forward to Jesus and fuels our vision for the church and our mission. This is good news worth shouting about! This expository guide by pastor and author Tim Chester takes you verse by verse through the text in a digestible and applied way. Each chapter focuses on a key text and shows how its themes play out in the surrounding passages, helping you to drill down into the details while also seeing the big picture. You'll find ideas and challenges for application throughout, plus a helpful glossary at the back. It is less academic than a traditional commentary and includes lots of application. It can be read from cover to cover, used in personal devotions, used to lead small group studies, or used for sermon preparation.

Isaiah For You

Stephen Timmis

"La iglesia no es un lugar al que asistir", escriben los pastores Tim Chester y Stephen Timmis. "Es una identidad hecha nuestra en Cristo. Identidad que da forma y fondo a la totalidad de nuestras vidas, y ello de tal forma que vida y misión se fundan en una 'iglesia total'". Tim Chester y Stephen Timmis investigan en este libro lo que significa en la práctica estar verdaderamente centrados tanto en el Evangelio como en la congregación. Estos son los dos principios clave fundamentales para la iglesia y la misión. Cuando estos principios tienen prioridad, afirman los autores, la verdad de la Palabra es confirmada, la misión del evangelio se lleva a cabo y la prioridad de las relaciones se practica de una manera radical. Los autores critican muchas de las tendencias actuales dentro de la iglesia, ya que observan que los movimientos de la iglesia emergente son fuertes en la comunidad, pero débiles en la verdad, mientras que las iglesias conservadoras son fuertes en la verdad, pero débiles en la comunidad. Su propuesta es una llamada para la mejoría de ambas. Este es un libro oportuno y provocativo que merece ser leído y aplicado en muchos contextos. Se ocupa de problemas muy reales, indagando en las causas y ofreciendo soluciones con una sólida base bíblica.

Titus for You

Acts chapter 20 tells how Paul sat down to train the elders of the Ephesian church he had planted some years before. The principles of gospel ministry he lays down are simple, but absolute dynamite. In 21 simple, practical principles, Richard Coekin sets out how this "Gospel DNA" should shape our approach to building churches today. This book draws on his experience as Director of the London-based Co-Mission church-planting initiative in the UK. It will help you be part of a dynamic strategy for growing gospel churches today. Includes a Foreword by D.A. Carson

How should we deal with our guilt and shame? How should we think about freedom? What is Spirit-inspired Christian living? How does our understanding of hell affect the way we live the Christian life? The Christian gospel transforms every aspect of our lives. If we don’t understand that, we don’t understand Christianity. The Centre for Christian Living, which operates out of Moore Theological College in Sydney, aims to bring biblical ethics to everyday issues—taking the theology and knowledge of God and showing how it shapes and directs every aspect of our daily lives. To that end, we have compiled this annual, which collects some of the material from our activities during 2018: essays from our public events, highlights from our podcast and articles by members of our student team at Moore College. Our hope is that you will find this collection helpful and encouraging as you live out the Christian life.

A thought-provoking collection of some of the material from our 2018 activities.
