Salt & The Sacrifice of Christ - Ebook



Here is another book in the popular Search for Truth Series.  Just 99 cents on Amazon.com and 99p on Amazon.co.uk
 
 
Most Christians are familiar with the use of salt as a picture for many things in the life of disciple, but it can also be used to draw some very valuable lessons about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary.

Did you know that salt was involved in the sacrifices in the Old Testament and that there was something in those days called a "covenant of salt"? Brian Johnston explains the meaning of both of these things in this short book under the following chapter headings:
1. The Value of Christ’s Sacrifice
2. Something Long-lasting
3. No Going Back On His Word
4. What a (Sweet) Savour!

The Parable of the Tabernacle Ebook!

Here is another Kindle book  by Hayes Press.  Here are the quick links:

Amazon.com:  http://amzn.to/L83GGv


Amazon.co.uk:  http://amzn.to/K6GmNU

Why did God go into such great detail with Moses as to exactly how the Tabernacle was to be built and the offerings that were to be made there? And why did He include it all in our Bibles? Is it just rather dry, ancient history or is there anything that is applicable to Christians today – thousands of years later?

The writer to the Hebrews said almost 2,000 years ago that the Tabernacle is “symbolic for the present time” (Hebrews 9:9). This book makes the case that the Tabernacle is still of vital importance to all Christians today and that there are two main purposes:

1) To outline a clear vision of the House of God today as a called-out, gathered-together and united people, expressed in Churches of God - serving Him in Holy and Royal Priesthood service, according to the Biblical pattern that God Himself has laid down. Many believers today view the terms “Body of Christ” and “House of God” as interchangeable, despite the clear and important differences that are outlined in this book.

2) To provide a more wonderful appreciation of the beauties, glories, character and functions of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is Son over God’s House, the Great High Priest and typified in so many ways in the various offerings associated with worship in the Tabernacle.

This book was written by Jack Ferguson in 1981 and has been re-published in ebook and hard copy formats by Hayes Press to meet demand – it has lost none of its relevance in the intervening years.

Where is God's House Today ? - Part 3

Here is part 3 which records how God moved from living in a tent to living in a temple, but when Jesus died at Calvary, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom to show that God was no longer living there.  But God had another plan for his dwelling place among a people.

Where is God's House Today? Part 2

Part 1 one of the series was posted yesterday and has generated quite a lot of site traffic so I thought I should not keep you waiting for the second part in the series!

The opening video was a general introduction to the subject.  Part 2 goes right back to the early part of God's dealings with the human race.  It seems that God has always wanted a collective people for himself.  In the Old Testament, that people was Israel, who entered a special covenant with God and became a redeemed and obedient group - they were to be obedient to the law of God and also obedient to the pattern of worship that God laid out in immense detail in connection with the Tabernacle.

Later parts of the series will trace the collective aspects laid here throughout the Old Testament and show how it changed dramatically when we get to the New Testament - a change which is still with us today - but the importance of which seems to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians.

This is a short 8 minute clip.

Where is God's House Today? Part 1

This is a short video of less than 7 minutes which is the first of series on the subject of where is God's House today?  In the Old Testament, God lived first in a tabernacle (tent) and then in a temple? It is true of course that God now lives inside every believer, from the day of Pentecost onwards.

But is there an equivalent dwelling place for God in the New Testament that can still exist today, that operates in a collective way like it did for the people of Israel?  This video, and the rest of the series,  argues that the answer to that question is yes, and that this has great importance for every Christian who is interested in serving God in a way that he has instructed us to do.  Take a look and I would be very interested to hear what you think.
