Expecting to See Jesus--the expanded edition of I Saw the Lord--is the result of Anne Graham Lotz's life lived in the hope of Jesus' return. As you journey with her through the pages of the Bible, you'll come to realize why she lives her life expecting to see Jesus at any minute. And, she wants to make sure you and all other Christians are ready for that moment when your faith becomes sight. Anne knows from personal experience that it's in the busyness of our days, as we're drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake-up call--a jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has died down to an ineffective glow. In Expecting to See Jesus, Anne points out the biblical signs she sees in the world all around us and shows how you can experience an authentic, deeper, richer relationship with God in a life-changing, fire-blazing revival.

Expecting Jesus. See Jesus through the eyes of those who met Him. Most expected Him. Only a few were ready for Him. These vignettes show what they expected from Jesus. Simeon looked for the hope of Israel. He found Him. Salazar watched for the Coming One and was shown His star in the East. James struggled to believe, until he put aside his assumptions. Others came with theirs. Put your own expectations aside. Know Him by the truth He reveals to you.

Are you excited for Heaven? Do you think about the day when you will live forever with Jesus in Heaven? What comes to your mind when you think about Jesus and Heaven? Is there a loved one you are eagerly waiting to see again in Heaven? If you have lost a loved one and miss them dearly just know that if they were a believer in Jesus Christ and if you become a believer in Jesus Christ you will see them again and be with them forever in Heaven. My prayer is that if you are a believer in Jesus Christ that it would encourage you in your faith in Jesus Christ and get you excited for Heaven. Or if you are an unbeliever that it would bring you to Jesus Christ. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ know that Jesus is looking forward to the day when you two will finally meet face to face. If you are an unbeliever know that Jesus Christ loves you and wants to welcome you to Heaven with open arms. Just repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you and is expecting you.

Jesus' promise that "the end" draws near has spawned an expectation of that grand event across various religious groups. This volume examines the abiding social issues that surround the continued presence of apocalyptic anticipation by setting them in historical, present-day, and future manifestations. Approaching this fervent expectation from a broad perspective, Gribben and Newport explore the contemporary movements with insightful analysis that provokes discussion and even self-reflection.

In 1998, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit called Allyson Michael D’Espyne to preach the Word. In obedience, he humbly accepted this calling. While walking with the good Lord on this epic journey, Allyson was surprised to find everything taken from him, including his Cadillac and his fancy clothes. God placed on him a spirit of torment, and Allyson felt as one wandering in the wilderness. This yoke of an ordeal stayed with Allyson for eleven years. Through that time, Jesus guided him across America, showing him all the things that mattered most to His Holy Father. One day in the spring of 2010, Jesus removed the spirit of torment and gave Allyson peace. Since then, Allyson’s life has changed from one of wandering to one of vivid, clear purpose in bringing the world to full knowledge of the Lord. Throughout all his years of trials and tribulations, Jesus renewed Allyson’s strength and allowed him to bear witness to the pitfalls of humanity. Today, he answers questions from people of all walks of life through the words of the risen Savior.

'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.
