Giveaways / Free Stuff Fridays Collection cover image

Free Stuff Fridays
This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by the Ockenga Store at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. This store offers a wide selection of audio resources from conferences and events held at the seminary. It also has a variety of educational resources including Semlink, the distance learning program at GCTS, and Dimensions, education from seminary professors for the building of the church. It also distributes PulpitTalk, a quarterly audio journal published by distinguished preaching faculty, including Dr. Haddon Robinson.

The store is offering 5 prize packages, each of which includes:

  • Preaching to the Heart by Timothy Keller – How can we change people’s lives with our preaching without simply providing information on the one hand or working on people’s emotions on the other? As preachers we are called upon to bridge the distance between the solid Truth of scripture and shifting demands of our congregation. How can we remain faithful to the task to which we are called? Each week, Tim Keller works to meet this demand to his own congregation. In this series he helps us to take a hard look at preaching that impacts the congregation with biblical accuracy.
  • CASKET EMPTY: God’s Plan of Redemption Throughout History by Dr. Carol Kaminski and David Palmer – These lectures are intended to help you grasp the “big picture” of both the Old and the New Testaments and understand how God’s redemptive story progresses through history and is fulfilled in the Messiah.
  • Theology of the Pentateuch by Dr. Gordon Hugenberger, Senior Pastor Park Street Church, Boston, MA – The primary objective of this course is to introduce the student to the theology of the Pentateuch, stressing its foundational relevance for a proper understanding of the whole of biblical revelation.

In addition to the giveaway products being on sale, other sale items this month include “Greek I” with Dr. Scott Hafemann which is normally $50 but only $25 until the end of February. Tim Keller’s “Evangelism and Church Planting in Postmodern Cities” is normally $20 and is on sale for $5 and Michael Horton’s recent conference “The Ministry: A Fellowship of Receivers and Deliverers” is priced at $5 from its normal $12.

    Throw Out the Buoys!

    When I was young, my family owned a cottage on a lake. From a young age, I loved to head out in our little motorboat so I could explore that lake and the others that were connected to it. I could easily make a day out of slipping into little inlets to see where they…

    Happy Lies

    I’m quite certain you have heard of the New Age movement. Though its popularity seems to have crested and begun to wane some time ago, it continues to wield a good bit of influence. But I wonder if you’ve heard of another similarly-named but quite different movement called New Thought.
