New: Wineskins and the Simple Words of Christ

by Phil Baker

Have you ever felt you needed a seminary education to understand the Bible? Or been told that a basic command of Jesus like “Love your enemies” didn’t really mean to love your enemies? In NEW, author and pastor Phil Baker reveals how the earliest believers approached the words of seriously and simply. The Church grew rapidly during those first three centuries, as they filtered their understanding of everything else by His words. What impact would be felt today if Jesus’ followers again were to take his teachings at face value, allowing them to be the lens by which we view everything else? Jesus said new wine must be poured into new wineskins. Whether a brand-new Christian or a long-time believer, you no doubt came to faith while wearing an “old wineskin”―presuppositions about Him, His teaching, the Holy Spirit, evil, and the Old Testament. NEW will help you shed those old filters that are obscuring your ability to interpret the Bible accurately, and hindering you from understanding and accepting the plain instructions of Jesus Christ. God wants to adorn us in new wineskins, to receive Him correctly and to live victoriously.

Wow

I thank God for guiding you in writing this book Phil. Just wow. There are no words to describe how impacting this book became, and how it led me back to God in a more deeper way than before. Especially during the last few pages. It literally broke those old wine skins and the hypocrisy I was living as what I believe now believe was as a double minded christian. Thank you God, thank you Jesus for allowing this book to minister me.
