Faith

In the next of our very popular Guidebooks for Life series, Bryson Smith looks at the very significant topic of faith: What is it? What makes it so important? What are we meant to have faith in, and what difference should our faith make to everyday life?

These are fundamental issues for all of us, and Bryson Smith provides extremely helpful, easy-to-read insights into a biblical understanding of ‘faith’.

You can download and read the first chapter free, along with the discussion questions.

The Future of Jesus

The book of Dr Peter Jensen's 2005 ABC Boyer Lecture series quickly sold out when first published by the ABC in Australia. But this book is too important to let it remain out of print, so Matthias Media is very pleased to be able to make it available again, and this time to a wider readership, not just in Australia but also overseas.

Archbishop Jensen challenges both believers and unbelievers to take a fresh look at the person of Jesus and his significance in our history, our present and our future. A superb evangelistic book for the more thoughtful reader.

So Many Questions

In a series of short sessions, So Many Questions will take you through 13 commonly asked questions about Christianity, helping you to work out what to say, and providing an ‘expert’ answer from which to learn. You'll also learn the basic principles behind all these answers. DVD presenters include: Tony Payne, Al Stewart, Claire Smith, Paul Grimmond and Chris Braga. Find out more.

The Art of Living

8 studies on Proverbs

“How should I live my life?” This is a pertinent question not just for Christians but for non-Christians too, judging by the shelves and shelves of self-help books you see in your local bookstore, and the letters pages of certain magazines. There are people wanting advice about all sorts of things, like “Which job should I take?”, “What should I say to my friend whose mother died recently?”, “What's the best thing to do in this situation?”, and so on. The answers come not just from self-help books and magazine columns, but from a variety of sources: your family, your friends, your colleagues, your minister and other people you respect. Some of it is common knowledge; some of it is folk wisdom. As the old sayings go, “Too many cooks spoil the broth”, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” and “Don't count your chickens before they hatch”.

However, when it comes to the art of living, the book of Proverbs is really the best authority on how to live, because its wisdom is no less than the wisdom of God—the God who created it all and knows it all. Indeed, the most important lesson on wisdom that Proverbs has to teach can be found in the very first chapter: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov 1:7).

Proverbs is filled with rich instruction on how to live—how to spend our money, how to work, what to say (and how to say it) and a whole host of other topics. In these studies, Bryson Smith helps you to understand what true wisdom is—and how true wisdom is ultimately found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Find out more.
