CONRAD MBEWE, GARRETT KELL, DAVID KING
WE ARE NOW BEGINNING TO OFFER MORE OF THE 9 MARKS CHURCH QUESTION SERIES SMALL BOOKS.
(1) IS GOD REALLY SOVEREIGN?
God’s sovereignty is difficult for most people to wrap their minds around even when they’re not going through difficult times; the topic raises many questions about salvation, evangelism, sin, and suffering. But when difficult circumstances arise, many believers ask, “Is God really in control?”
In this addition to the Church Questions series, pastor Conrad Mbewe explains the Bible’s teaching on God’s sovereignty and addresses the common questions that it raises. He shows how it affects one’s outlook on salvation, suffering, prayer, and worship in the Christian life. This short and accessible work is ideal for anyone currently struggling with the sovereignty of God or for new Christians wanting to learn more about God’s sovereignty.
**Part of the Church Questions Series: Developed to give biblical insight into common questions

**Useful for Seekers: Accessible for those new to faith or looking to learn more
(2) HOW DO I FIGHT SIN & TEMPTATION? by Garrett Kell
Biblical Encouragement for the Lifelong Pursuit of Freedom from Sin
Temptation is unrelenting. Whether it sneaks up in a social-media post, a relationship, or a bout of anger, there will always be an invitation to sin. But sin isn’t just an inevitable misstep; it’s a personal rejection of God and his commands. And it’s a battle every Christian must fight.
Through biblical wisdom and engaging stories, J. Garrett Kell confronts the spiritual weight and consequences of rebellion and offers 7 gospel-centered ways to fight sin. Reminding believers that God always provides a way out of temptation, Kell highlights several steps to fight sin—including grace, community, and confession—guiding readers away from destruction and toward freedom in Christ.
(3) DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT REALLY POINT TO JESUS? by David King
A Concise Guide to Finding Jesus in the Old Testament
Can we see Jesus in the first 39 books of Scripture? While Christians believe the entire Bible points to Jesus as the Messiah, many have trouble identifying him in the Old Testament because he’s never mentioned by name.
In this addition to the Church Questions series, David King guides curious readers on a journey to discover Jesus in all of Scripture. The booklet begins by examining Jesus’s own understanding of how the Old Testament witnesses to him. Next, readers learn 6 ways the Old Testament points to Jesus, including promises of redemption, how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament law and wisdom, and Old Testament types of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. Finally, King explains why it matters to believers and the church today that Jesus is understood as the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Christians are pressed by very real questions. How does Scripture structure a church, order worship, organize ministry, and define biblical leadership? Those are just examples of the questions that are answered clearly, carefully, and winsomely in this new series from 9Marks. I am so thankful for this ministry and for its incredibly healthy and hopeful influence in so many faithful churches. I eagerly commend this series.” -R. Albert Mohler Jr., President and Centennial Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Sincere questions deserve thoughtful answers. If you’re not sure where to start in answering these questions, let this series serve as a diving board into the pool. These mini-books are winsomely to-the-point and great to read together with one friend or one hundred friends.” -Gloria Furman, author, Alive in Him and Labor with Hope
“As a pastor, I get asked lots of questions. I’m approached by unbelievers seeking to understand the gospel, new believers unsure about next steps, and maturing believers wanting help answering questions from their Christian family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers. It’s in these moments that I wish I had a book to give them that was brief, answered their questions, and pointed them in the right direction for further study. Church Questions is a series that provides just that. Each booklet tackles one question in a biblical, brief, and practical manner. The series may be called Church Questions, but it could be called ‘Church Answers.’ I intend to pick these up by the dozens and give them away regularly. You should too.” -Juan R. Sanchez, Senior Pastor, High Pointe Baptist Church, Austin, Texas; author, Seven Dangers Facing Your Church and The Leadership Formula
“Where can we Christians find reliable answers to our common questions about life together at church—without having to plow through long, expensive books? The Church Questions booklets meet our need with answers that are biblical, thoughtful, and practical. For pastors, this series will prove a trustworthy resource for guiding church members toward deeper wisdom and stronger unity.” -Ray Ortlund, President, Renewal Ministries
