Download or read book The Pastor s Note written by John L. Spurgeon and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the gospel, we find how Christ used parables to describe our personal relationship with God. He took the tangible things of life as example to illustrate a spiritual life in Christ. The devotional before you has one hundred devotions, many based on parables of my life and stories I recall. Why one hundred? One hundred represents fullness and a completion, as well as principle of return. My first hope is that your reading this will not only help you to recognize that everything is spiritual, but also give you an opportunity to know and experience more of Gods presence. Second, my hope is that completing this devotion wont mark an end or accomplishment, but that you will be spiritually primed to pursue greater depths in an intimate relationship with our Savior. And last, with the principle of return, I pray that you will continue to grow and be further profitable to Gods kingdom and purpose, taking what God gives in abundance and pouring it over into the lives of others.

Download or read book Called to Shepherd written by John Crosby and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEAD WISELY One simple, genuine prayer led me to sit before my computer one afternoon and start writing this book. God has spoken to me so clearly through His leaders so often that I hoped He would offer something worthwhile to you through me. I know that you have more to read than you care to even consider. I know the value of your time. That is why these are brief, weekly devotions that you can quickly read and simply ask God to reveal the principle at work the following week. You will not find deep theology or warm, feel-good expressions within the pages of Called to Shepherd: 52 Weekly Devotions for Pastors and Ministry Leaders. Yet, you may realize that God has a simple message here specifically for you that will exponentially enhance your leadership. Endorsements: John Crosby has been blessed with the gift of clarity. These devotions are clear, challenging and helpful to young and old pastors and ministry leaders alike. Every week's devotion speaks to issues that simply must be addressed in the lives of those who are called to shepherd. Portable, practical and palatable; this helpful resource is a green pasture for both sheep and shepherds. Kenny Grant, Kenny Grant Evangelistic Ministries Any Christian who has ever led in any way-as a pastor, teacher, administrator, ministry team leader-is sensitive to the challenges of leading as Christ would lead. They have dealt with subtle and not-so-subtle temptations to abdicate to a power, do-it-my-way style of leading. John Crosby demonstrates the need, qualities, and attitudes of those who would lead well, for the right reasons, and to the right end. I've found his pithy, penetrating devotions a blessing to my soul. Eleanor A. Daniel, Dorothy Keister Walker Professor of Christian Education Emeritus, Emmanuel School of Religion, Johnson City, TN I have found John's short devotions to be loaded with wisdom. Each weekly writing gives a key thought to remember and take with you throughout the week. A great way for busy ministry leaders to start each week. Dicky Clark, Vice President of Field Ministry, Southeast Coastal Region (GA, FL, SC, NC) for Fellowship of Christian Athletes I have known John Crosby since the day he gave his life to Christ. Since then he has made a life-changing impact for Christ because of his commitment to ministering to people in the business sector of our community. I'm sure as you read this book his insight will impact you as well. Cam Huxford, Pastor, Savannah Christian Church John Crosby is not only called, he is qualified to lead. Knowing John personally and understanding his life B.C. (before Christ), John brings a wealth of real life experience to the table. Agreeing to help lead a Bible study in a prominent workplace in Savannah, GA gave me a firsthand glimpse of his heart for workplace ministry. His approach and techniques are proven and effective. You will be blessed by this strong tool that you now hold in your hand! Brian Jobe, Senior Pastor, Harvester Christian Church, Saint Charles, MO
Download or read book Lets Get Committed written by Derl G. Keefer and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People seem dazzled by the world's glitter of false grandeur and pay little to no attention to the majesty of God. The sparkle of glitter the world offers does nothing but litter the ocean floor of the spirit. A saint's job is to pay close attention to the security of God's grandeur -- magnitude, creation, mercy, hope, happiness, joy, peace, and life. With God as our ship we can stay afloat for eternity. (from All Saints' Sunday sermon, "Called To Be Saints") Derl Keefer explores the timeless and life-changing truths of the Bible in ten powerful and effective messages based on First Lesson passages from the Revised Common Lectionary. While particularly useful to pastors gleaning ideas for their own preaching, these sermons offer an abundant dose of spiritual power to all who read and digest them. Sermon titles include: * Where Are We Without God? -- Exodus 33:12-23 * Leaving A Legacy -- Deuteronomy 34:1-12 * Reformation To Transformation -- Jeremiah 31:31-34 * God's New Shepherd -- Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24 You will enjoy the reading journey of Let's Get Committed. These are sermons written by a practitioner, a pastor who has passion for people and for sermon preparation.... While Keefer's illustrations are clear and his quotes are pertinent, the priority is how they bring focus to the Word. They are biblical in an age when God's Word needs to be heard throughout the land.... There is meat here for the mind and inspiration for the heart. (from the Foreword) C. Neal Strait District Superintendent, Michigan District Church of the Nazarene Derl G. Keefer is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University (B.A.) and Nazarene Theological Seminary (M.Div.). He has been the pastor of congregations in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, and is currently serving in Kansas City, Missouri, as the Developmental Ministries coordinator for the International Church of the Nazarene's Adult Ministry Division. His sermons and articles have appeared in numerous clergy publications, and he often leads workshops and seminars on preaching and Sunday School ministry. Keefer was named the Church of the Nazarene's Michigan District Pastor of the Year in 1995, and in 2000 Southern Nazarene University honored him as its Alumni Pastor of the Year. He is the co-author of Wedding Sermons & Marriage Ceremonies (CSS), and is also co-editor of The Wesleyan Preaching Annual (CSS).

Download or read book 101 Sparks of Inspiration written by Maralene Wesner and published by Nurturing Faith. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many churches today have lay ministers or bivocational pastors. These dedicated leaders often work at secular jobs yet must prepare two or three sermons a week. This can be a real challenge. Most of the brief compositions in this book can stand alone as quick devotionals, or they can be used as "sermon starters" by providing suggested topics and outlines that include extensive scriptural research. This saves leaders and teachers time, but still allows them to add their own special insights, develop their own applications, and adapt the material to their own personal style. All of these "starters" were originally used in a small rural church where we served as bivocational pastors for more than fifty years.
