Before being exiled to the island of Patmos where he wrote the book of Revelation, the apostle John penned three letters to the church at Ephesus. The Ephesian church was the largest in the ancient world and faced, as many churches of that time did, the dangerous doctrines of Jewish legalism and Hellenistic Gnosticism. The church also dealt with false leaders more interested in gain and fame than in spreading the truth of the gospel. In response, John, who was the church's pastor for a time, wrote the Johannine epistles. And, as in his gospel, John addresses all of these issues through the lens of God's love. Bob Yandian delves into John's letters, verse by verse, using context and his own pastoral sagacity to illuminate John's messages. In doing so, Pastor Yandian first provides historical and biblical background-including observance of the original Greek language-to bring alive the truths in John's three letters. Pastor Yandian then encourages modern believers to apply these truths in response to God's pure and unfailing love.Important Johannine themes Pastor Yandian explores in this commentary include: The crucial differences between relationship and fellowship with GodThe reality of and remedy for sin in the believer's lifeThe outworking of sanctificationThe saving power of true doctrine The discerning power of the Holy Spirit withinIn this commentary, not only can readers expect valuable insight into the beloved apostle's writings, but they can also expect a gentle nudge to be more like Jesus and less like the modern Church which, like the Ephesians, has forgotten its first love.

Epaphras, pastor of the church at Colosse, reported to an imprisoned Paul that false teachers had infiltrated the Colossian church and were poisoning it with Gnostic doctrine. Paul's response was the book of Colossians, a rich concentration of Pauline revelation concerning the supremacy of Christ and the way believers are to live because of it.In this verse-by-verse commentary, Bob Yandian examines human philosophy, false religion, and God's approach to eliminating them both from the church, so believers can live in the freedom of true Christianity.

The Supernatural Alive in UsThe Holy Spirit has always been with man, but in a limited ministry before the day of Pentecost. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit lived in a temple made with hands and came on individuals at certain times to do certain tasks. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom. This was not just to let us in, but to let the Holy Spirit out. From that day to this, the Holy Spirit desired to live in every born-again Christian.In Life & Power, Bob Yandian carefully examines the Holy Spirit's ever-present role in your daily life, types and shadows that explain His ministry, and how the world was changed when He came rushing into the Upper Room like a mighty wind filling New Testament believers with boldness and power.You'll find yourself convinced of the many benefits of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. And as you yield to the supernatural language of tongues, you'll find yourself pulling a little of heaven down to earth.
