O. S. Hawkins – författare

You can have a new beginning.

In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), O.S. Hawkins, bestselling author of the Code series, draws on the book of Nehemiah to show how each of us can begin again when we look to God for help. Whether we have suffered broken relationships, integrity missteps, devastating loss, or any other setback, it is never too late to rebuild our lives!

Nehemiah understood this truth when he called on the Lord for insight during his people’s hard times. He was an ordinary man who applied principles from God that enabled him to rebuild a broken city wall and, in the process, rebuild a lot of broken hopes. Nehemiah left behind some secrets of his success–a sort of hidden “code”–which can become a fountain of hope and strength to us. Nehemiah’s message across the centuries is plain and powerful: it is never too late for a new beginning!

The Nehemiah Code Study Guide includes video teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study and reflection materials.

Sessions include:

2024 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR (EVANGELISM)

An essential guide in the art and instruction of issuing Christ''s invitation to the lost.

Historic denominations are dying. Church memberships and baptisms plummet with every passing year. Pastors and church leaders are concerned about their churches plateauing. Why? One of the major reasons is because congregations aren''t being publicly called to faith in Christ. A growing number of evangelical pastors have opted for non-confrontational approaches to calling people to faith in Jesus. Some seminaries have removed evangelism classes from their curriculum and pastors aren''t being taught how to give an effective, God honoring public invitation, void of manipulation.

Authors O.S. Hawkins and Matt Queen are asking church leaders to reconsider and rediscover the effectiveness of asking people to publicly decide to follow Christ.

O.S. Hawkins is a respected pastor who has led thousands to faith in Christ in both church and public settings. Matt Queen is a trusted and gifted professor of evangelism who has consulted multitudes of pastors in personal and congregational evangelism. Together, they wrote The Gospel Invitation to assist others in successfully issuing a public appeal to receive Christ.

The Gospel Invitation covers:

The Gospel Invitation will equip pastors, seminary students, and anyone who evangelizes with the confidence to share the gospel and help more people come to Christ.

Jesus gets attention not with exclamation marks, but with question marks.

Jesus was always asking questions. Whether with a small group or large crowd, Jesus opened hearts and minds by asking questions that grasped attention and made one think. In The Jesus Code, author O. S. Hawkins poses fifty-two thought-provoking questions found throughout the Bible that believers should be able to answer as they grow in their faith and share their faith with others. Each question features a devotional thought to help readers find answers and promote further reflection.

Sample questions include:

Features & Benefits:

The James Code helps believers go from knowing about God to living for God.

Bestselling author of The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, O.S. Hawkins is back with a new book that is all about putting your faith into action. The James Code is practical, personal and action-packed straight from one of the most popular books of the Bible.

Once readers have devoted themselves to Scripture memory in The Joshua Code, and have equipped themselves to give answers in The Jesus Code, The James Code challenges readers to give feet to their faith. Hawkins gives applicable truth from the book of James emphasizing that an effective Christian life is not about faith and works, but is about faith that works.

As with The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, all author royalties will go to Mission:Dignity, whose mission supports retired pastors and their spouses living near the poverty level.

How can we learn to be effective culture warriors?

We live in dangerous times. Not only does violence stalk us in the form of terrorism and crime, but our culture itself is crumbling. Our society tolerates and even praises what would once have been barely spoken of. If we stand up we are branded as intolerant, the term today’s culture considers the inexcusable offense.  If we don’t speak up, people won’t know biblical truth.  How is a Christian to respond?

Inspired by the story of Daniel in the Old Testament, bestselling author O.S. Hawkins shows how we can engage our broken culture with integrity. Daniel was a young man who “wrote the book” on how to survive in a pagan, permissive, and perverse culture.  His value system was challenged at every turn.

Daniel steps off the pages of scripture and into our modern culture today to reveal some timeless principles—a sort of “Daniel Code”—that enable you to not simply exist in our culture but to engage it and survive it as well. You will discover that the same God that ensured Daniel’s victories is here for you today.

The Bible says that God has “assigned to you an area of influence” (2 Corinthians 10:13). The question is what will you do with it?

In his newest book VIP, O.S. Hawkins takes readers through what it takes to create a life of Vision, Influence, and Purpose. Through inspirational stories, biblical examples, and charged challenges towards greatness, O.S. Hawkins illuminates a path for you to uncover what it is going to take for you to become a VIP.

Following the great success of his books The Joshua Code and The James Code, VIP is the next step on your journey toward the life God has for you.   

Who isn''t in need of a new beginning? Bestselling author O. S. Hawkins knows that whether it be broken relationships, integrity missteps, or loss, most of us will spend some or much of the next year trying to restore something. The good news is . . . it''s never too late for a new beginning.

Hawkins, with more than 550,000 books sold, now turns his eye to another biblical hero in The Nehemiah Code. Nehemiah was a civil servant from 2,500 years ago who applied principles found in the Bible for insight during hard times, help to start again, and encouragement to rebuild a life.

The Nehemiah Code dives into a theme that will resonate deeply with a wide variety of readers -  insight during hard times, help to start again, and encouragement to rebuild a life. Topics include:

En La clave de la Biblia, los lectores comprenderán la presencia de Jesús en el Antiguo Testamento de una manera nueva, mientras viajan con el Pastor O. S. Hawkins a través de cada libro de la Biblia.

A menudo asumimos que Jesús solo está en el Nuevo Testamento. Incluso pensamos en Él de manera diferente que «el Dios del Antiguo Testamento». Sin embargo, Cristo aparece en todos los libros de la Biblia, a veces en palabras, a veces en la sombra, a veces en la profecía. Como Jesús se reveló a los dos discípulos en el camino a Emaús, se le puede encontrar «en todas las Escrituras» (Lucas 24:27). Y a medida que aprendemos a encontrar a Jesús en cada versículo, también nos damos cuenta de su presencia constante en nuestras vidas.

En La clave de la Biblia, el autor más vendido de La clave de Josué, O. S. Hawkins, nos lleva del Génesis al Apocalipsis mientras ilumina las Escrituras a través de la luz de Cristo. Porque toda la Biblia, y toda la vida, de hecho, se trata de Jesús. En Éxodo, Él es el Cordero de la Pascua. En Deuteronomio, Él es el pan de vida. En Cantar de los Cantares, Él es nuestro novio.

¿Cómo crece nuestra comprensión de Dios como proveedor al comprender la voluntad de Abraham de sacrificar a Isaac? ¿Qué tiene que ver el cordón escarlata de Rahab en el libro de Josué con el sacrificio de Jesús en la cruz? ¿Cómo se relaciona la referencia de Jesús a sí mismo como el Buen Pastor con los Salmos, y qué nos enseña eso sobre el carácter de Dios?

Cuando buscamos a Jesús en toda la Biblia, encontramos vida. No solo vida eterna en el entonces y allí, sino vida abundante en el aquí y ahora. Únase a O. S. Hawkins en esta hermosa exploración de las profundidades de las Escrituras. Cuando vea la historia redentora de Jesús desde la creación hasta la eternidad, se acercará al Dios que lo ha amado desde el principio.

The Bible Code

We often assume Jesus is only in the New Testament. We even think of Him differently than "the God of the Old Testament." Yet Christ appears in every book of the Bible, sometimes in words, sometimes in shadow, sometimes in prophecy. As Jesus revealed to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, He can be found "in all the Scriptures" (Luke 24:27). And as we learn to find Jesus in every verse, we realize His constant presence in our lives as well.

In The Bible Code, bestselling author of The Joshua Code, O. S. Hawkins, takes us from Genesis to Revelation as he illuminates Scripture through the light of Christ. Because all of the Bible, and all of life for that matter, is about Jesus. In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb. In Deuteronomy, He is the Bread of Life. In Song of Solomon, He is our Bridegroom.

How does our understanding of God as provider grow through understanding Abraham''s willingness to sacrifice Isaac? What does Rahab''s scarlet cord in the book of Joshua have to do with Jesus'' sacrifice on the cross? How does Jesus'' reference to Himself as the Good Shepherd relate to the Psalms, and what does that teach us about God''s character?

As we seek Jesus in the whole Bible, we find life. Not just eternal life in the then and there, but abundant life in the here and now. Join O. S. Hawkins in this beautiful exploration into the depths of Scripture. As you see Jesus'' redemptive story from Creation to eternity, you will draw closer to the God who has loved you from the beginning.

Los israelitas finalmente poseían tierras y la oportunidad de comenzar de nuevo. Su líder, Josué, habló sabiamente sobre cómo seguir la ley de Dios y cómo tener éxito. Josué 1:8 dice: «Recita siempre el libro de la ley y medita en él de día y de noche; cumple con cuidado todo lo que en él está escrito. Así prosperarás y tendrás éxito».

Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
