Free Getty Hymn for September

A life that highly exalts the name of Jesus will always bear enduring fruit. The Apostle Peter exhorts believers to honor Christ in their lives in such a way that other people will notice.

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you… (1 Peter 3:15 ESV)

Clearly we are to share our faith verbally, yet the powerful witness of a Christian life sincerely and purposefully lived out, often speaks volumes to the lost. These were some of the key thoughts behind the writing of the hymn, “Lift High the Name of Jesus.”

Can it be that the ancient Book of Habakkuk is one of the most relevant books in the Bible for today? Don Smith reminds us how Christ calls His Church to be a beacon of light in the darkness, much like the prophet Habakkuk proclaimed centuries ago. We shine as His beacons as we cling to faith in Him and in His Word. Don says we can rejoice because the invisible hand of God is working for His good pleasure right now in 21st century history. These thoroughly outlined study notes are a companion to Don Smith’s audio series, “A Faith to Cling To.”

BLB introduces the 18th-century Scottish clergyman, Charles Inglis, who spent the majority of his life learning and teaching the Word of God. His study resource, Pegs for Preachers, has been widely utilized by ministry leaders and studious believers in all parts of the world. His work contains alphabetized lists of thousands of topics that are all linked to Scripture references, to assist you in the study of God’s Word.

We are very pleased that Thru the Bible ministry has given us permission to offer Dr. McGee’s text commentaries, Bible notes, and outlines for the entire New and Old Testaments. These all-inclusive guides are a wonderful companion to the inductive style of Bible study. This beloved Bible teacher and author from the Los Angeles area had a prolific radio ministry that is still being broadcast worldwide today.

We invite you to listen to the rich expository teaching and impassioned preaching of Pastor Hubbard. He intentionally teaches through each book of the Bible verse by verse, viewing every word as profitable. His sermons are sure to ignite deeper insights into God and His holy Word, as you examine the Scriptures together.
