“...a message of hope, victory and security through a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ...Velotta combines a great blend of theological truth with current illustrations and practical application to explain the New Testament meaning of salvation to our generation.

The gospel-centered life is the only life of peace and victory. Believers don't need another program. We don't need another method claiming to have all the answers. We need a deeper understanding of who we are in Christ. Believers must delve deeper into the truths of the gospel rather than latch on to the newest fads and methodologies. The Christian's standing in Christ is the source for a life of purpose, peace, and victory.
In Christ: finding peace in the gospel, takes the reader on a journey into the biblical truths of the gospel in order to comprehend our position in Christ. The reader also examines what it means to walk in the gospel of grace. The gospel isn't just the baby steps of Christianity, it is not only applicable to the daily life of the believer, but also absolutely necessary to enjoy our life in Christ.

Acts: Expository Sermon Series
The Expository Sermon Series presents comprehensive, exegetical sermons covering entire books of the Bible, verse by verse. With careful contextual analysis and application, the Expository Sermon Series provides an accessible and reliable resource to rightly understand the meaning of the text and how each section fits into the broader narrative of the individual book and the Bible as a unified story.
Acts speaks clearly for today's Church striving to make disciples by the Spirit's power while facing opposition from outside and within. Sixty-four sermons covering the entire book contextually explain the author's original intent while applying these truths to modern disciples living out Christ's mission.
““an insightful, clear, often humorous, and powerful answer to one of the biggest problems in the church...””
Jesus said, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." That sounds simple enough, but sometimes, actually loving individuals hurts! What do we do when church members themselves are hard to love? How do we love those who have deeply wounded us, and why is emotionally investing in others so heartbreaking?
When the Sheep Bite gives practical yet biblical counsel to those who have been "church hurt," from a gospel-centered perspective. Far from just another "How to love" book, When the Sheep Bite:
- Focuses on the gospel rather than cliches and platitudes about love
- Realistically addresses the difficulty of loving people who are hard to love
- Does not engage in "church bashing" but honors Jesus' bride
- Demonstrates how the gospel produces love rather than exhorting people to act lovingly
- Gives biblical strategies for fighting the sin that stifles love
Life hurts, and loving people is hard. Even well-meaning, godly people can be unkind, but the gospel holds a supernatural power to love, even when the sheep bite.
“An examination of the realities of heaven and hell, as well as the frailty of earthly life. Believers will be encouraged to understand what comes next as we put to rest many of the popular caricatures of eternal life. Will we have bodies? Will we recognize one another? Will we retain our individuality and personalities? These are questions clearly answered in Scripture. Not only will the fear of death dissipate, but this brings a freedom to live unencumbered by the anxiety and worry of this life.”
Paul's letter to the Galatians is a stinging rebuke of legalism and a declaration of gospel freedom in Jesus Christ. Galatians demonstrates that all who are united to Christ by faith are covenant heirs with Abraham and are freed from the law for righteousness. At the same time, the evidence of this gospel salvation is visible as the Spirit produces fruit in the believer's life.
Today, Galatians still clearly condemns legalism and antinomianism, often taught in God's name. Yet, this book also confronts the personal struggle of every believer's heart, calling them to stand firm in freedom, finding their identity and righteousness in Jesus' all-sufficient gospel.
