Experience the Fullness of God's Grace in the Local Church

Many new believers have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church, and pastors are looking for resources to pass along to their congregations to help them think biblically about the Christian life. Church Questions is a series by 9Marks that seeks to provide Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each booklet offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment.

What does it look like for women to truly thrive as Christians? In this short booklet, Keri Folmar presents eight essential principles to help women fully engage in the context of the local church, such as prioritizing church membership and involvement, investing in meaningful discipling relationships, and not allowing conflict or bitterness to fester. Women will come away with helpful ideas on how to experience the fullness of God's grace as they seek out biblical community with other believers.

8 Practical Steps for Extending Hospitality in the Local Church

Hospitality is a vital part of the Christian life. It's evident in God's love and provision for sinners and illustrated in the fellowship of the Lord's Supper. Still, many modern Christians struggle to open their homes and welcome others as Jesus commands.

This short book addresses common questions about hospitality while equipping Christians to serve God through Christlike care of others. It features tips for practicing hospitality at home, sharing the gospel with neighbors, and serving the church.

Not Just a Power, But a Person: The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life

In this engaging exploration of the Third Person of the Trinity, Keri Folmar invites women to discover the Holy Spirit's active presence in their daily lives. Moving beyond common misconceptions and dramatic manifestations, she reveals how the Spirit works powerfully through ordinary means - Scripture, prayer, and the local church.

Drawing from both Scripture and real-life examples, Folmar shows how the Holy Spirit isn't a power to be harnessed, but a divine Person who breathes life into creation, illuminates God's word, and knits believers together in community. Her careful treatment extends from the Spirit's cosmic work in creation to His intimate role in personal sanctification.

Written with clarity and theological depth, this book helps readers understand:

• How the Spirit inspired Scripture and illuminates it today
• How the Spirit applies Christ's redemption to believers
• Why every Christian has the Spirit and His gifts
• What it means to bear spiritual fruit in community

Perfect for individual study or group discussion, this addition to The Good Portion series will help women delight in their relationship with the Holy Spirit and appreciate His vital role in their spiritual growth and the life of the church.

The Good Portion is a series written specifically for women to immerse themselves in the depths of Christian doctrine. Our goal is to spur women on to relish the truths of the Christian faith as they do what they were created for--enjoy knowing God.
