Christianity.com are running an extract: Although we talk about the death of Jesus often, for some reason we have tended to only mention the resurrection at Easter time. Christians sometimes even say Jesus died to save us without mentioning that he also rose for our salvation. It’s time to redress the balance a bit and talk more about Jesus’ death and resurrection. For Christians all over the world, every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday. We meet each week, among other things,... Read more
The following is an extract from “I Must Never Again Let the Resurrection Become Something I Assume” – An Interview with Adrian Warnock on Blogging Theologically: I think I am still painfully aware that I do not experience the same power that raised Christ from the dead as much as I should. Many Christians who have gone before have had a strong sense of personally knowing the risen Jesus. As Paul put it, I long “that I may know him and... Read more
The eagle-eyed will have noticed a new link appearing in the sidebar here and on Adrian’s blog. Longtrain audio have recorded the preface and chapter two and made it available (with Crossway’s permission) for free download. Why not have a listen this Easter? Read more
It was announced yesterday that from May 1 to December 31 John Piper will be taking a step back from his ministry for a prolonged period to refocus his priorities. I respect and admire the humility, honesty, and commitment this represents. No one, not even Piper, is indispensable to God’s mission. But every husband is irreplaceable to his wife. This was also well explained in the second half of yesterday’s sermon, the video of which is below. I recommend you... Read more
Raised with Christ is what the publishers like to call a ‘mid-level’ book: neither introductory nor full-blown academic. If you are familiar with Adrian’s blog his writing style in RWC will be of no surprise to you – accessible and thought-provoking. Adrian writes not as the expert but fellow-traveller. This is not a book that requires a dictionary in one hand and flask of coffee in the other. Yet it doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the importance... Read more
Easter is around the corner. I love this time of year at the best of times. This year, the Easter weekend is a triple celebration for me. We commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus. But on Good Friday I will celebrate my own spiritual resurrection, for it was on that day that I first made a response to the gospel as a young child. I thank God for what he did in my heart that day, and for his... Read more
The book is saturated with Scripture which is a joy – barely a page goes by without us being pointed to some truth from the Bible. Dave Bish notes Adrian’s fondness for quoting Martin Lloyd Jones, and to this I would add Spurgeon and John Piper. But they are all Godly preachers worth hearing from and help us to see that this isn’t some novel doctrine he is presenting . . . The second half of the book seeks to... Read more
Today one of my favorite bloggers, now author, Adrian Warnock is on a mission [to] awaken the church in our nation back to the apex of the resurrection. His new book: Raised with Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything makes the shocking point that the church in our day has relegated the message of the Resurrection to a holiday message at Easter. via Headlines » Adrian Warnock.

In some circles it is fashionable to knock N.T. Wright. I do have some significant concerns about his views on justification. But as this clip will show you, even if he is indeed wrong about the cross, he sure is “wright” about the resurrection! I found his “big green book” incredibly helpful as I wrote my own. I would commend it to anyone. The only possible draw back is that it is very long. But the investment of time to... Read more
A quick read of Ed Stetzer’s schedule shows that he probably has the broadest ranging audience of any Christian speaker today. He is one of the most respected missiologists in the world. Translated, that means he is an expert at helping us learn how to build churches that will reach the world for Christ. I am therefore thrilled to let you know that he will be preaching for us at Jubilee Church, London on Sunday May 30th. If you would... Read more
