Seedbed – March 2014
Published Date: February 24, 2014
We are pleased to announce the first annual New Room Conference presented by Seedbed! Join us in Franklin, Tenn. on September 18-19, 2014 for the joining of new voices and the start of new conversations as we collectively sow the whole gospel into the whole world. Visit newroomconference.com for more information. Now to this month’s most exciting posts, resources, and releases from Seedbed.
- About Abortion, a new Seedbed book from James Heidinger II, approaches this cultural issue by helping an emerging generation to understand the all-encompassing changes to our culture brought about by Roe v. Wade and its flawed ruling that created a new attitude about abortion.
- The Gospel of Jesus by Ben Witherington III is now available in the Seedbed store! In this new release, Dr. Witherington opens up the world of the four Gospels and helps us hear the story of Jesus as one seamless narrative. With his customary eye for cultural and historical details, and engaging commentary on what are sometimes overly-familiar stories, this highly respected New Testament scholar invites us to join those first century followers of Jesus around their fires and at their dinner tables, and hear the Gospel of Jesus for the first time all over again.
- We’re headed into the season of pastoral transition, and Seedbed has numerous resources to assist transitioning pastors and their congregations adjust to new changes. To learn more, visit seedbed.com/moving.
- We have begun work on Volume 2 in the popular SEEDS series of short books. This one will be devoted to quotes from John Wesley cataloged across a range of topics and issues. We need your help. If you send us a quote (with accurate reference) that we do not already have on our list, and we use it in the book, we will ship you a free copy of the book when it releases and give you a gratitude credit in the book.
- Take a deep dive with Dr. Stephen Martyn in this 12-part video series on The Lord’s Prayer.
- In this three-part video series, Dr. Timothy Tennent shares an Introduction to the Islam religion and what it means to the Christian community.
- The Fellowship of the New Room is underway for 2014, but it’s not too late to join (and at the introductory rate!). You’ll still receive access to all the Fellowship resources received thus far. For more information and to become a member, visit the store.
