Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second command is this: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. There are no commands more important than these" (Mark 12:29-31 NCV). These two commands form the foundation of Christianity, yet Jesus himself is the only person to ever keep them completely. In The Greatest Commands: Learning to Love like Jesus, author Scott Bayles delves deeply into the life and love of Jesus in an attempt to draw closer to the heart of Christ and discover the true meaning of loving God and loving people. Scott Bayles is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman University and the preaching minister for First Christian Church in Rosiclare, Illinois, where he lives with his wife Ashley and their two children-Yeshua and Sarai. He loves God and loves the people that God has put in his life.

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
