Fellowship. The word gets used a lot in church. But too often our understanding and practice of fellowship are shallow and stripped of the life-giving, life-transforming power God intended community to have.
Jesus lived out and taught a deeper, more radical kind of fellowship-a way of interacting that makes others sit up and take notice. These six sessions will show you Jesus' way of loving others "as I have loved you."

This book is designed to challenge your mind set and kick down some of the sacred cows that hinder you from becoming all that God has created you to be. In the Gospel of John, Jesus made a profound statement. Jesus stated all the works he has done his disciplines could do, and even greater works because he was returning to His heavenly father. (John 14:12-14) Was Jesus serious when he said that or was he trying to appease his followers? Some may say...

This book again finds the author Ervin N. Hershberger "at his best," as one editor noted. He continued, "I would rate this book right up with his Tabernacle studies." Readers will once again be amazing and delighted to see figures and types of Christ where they least expected to find them. The writer to the Hebrews wrote in 10:1, "For the law having a shadow of good things to come." Hershberger brings these shadows alive. This book has served many...

Christ is marvelously foreshadowed in every piece of the Tabernacle. Every feature was planned by God with design and purpose. Because of God's plan that the Tabernacle would be fulfilled in Christ, both in its structure as well as in its function, it can be said that this book is more about Christ than the Tabernacle. As readers tour this amazing interpretive construction with Hershberger, they will be delighted to see figures of Christ where they...
