Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a clear biblical approach to understanding the gift and ministry of the apostle and their relationship to local elders and other ministries involved in the ongoing work of the ministry. Apostolic oversight and impartation are both essential to the maturation of the body of Messiah. Together they live and serve to train and equip the body of Messiah for the works of service. The Ekklesia must receive and embrace apostolic fathers in order to become all that Yahshua has purposed. Blake Higginbotham is an apostle with a prophetic word for the Ekklesia. He was born again and filled with the Spirit in 1970 and for 37 years has served in several areas of ministry. He and his wife pioneered a work and pastored for 15 years; but now travel apostolically, singing, preaching, teaching and relating to ministers and business men and women both nationally and internationally. They are involved in leadership training and conference speaking on a monthly basis. Blake Higginbotham is a man with a passion for the eternal purpose of Yahweh and believes that he was born to serve the King, therefore nothing else really matters.

Download or read book Apostles written by Howard Durfee and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an almost fifty-year period of both study and practical training in Christian ministry. For the author, Dr. Howard W. Durfee, it has been his life’s work. Howard’s quest for Christian truth began shortly after he was saved by the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. During his study at three of the leading seminaries of the world—Harvard Divinity School, The University of Edinburgh, and Fuller Theological Seminary—Howard was taught that the gifts and ministries of the New Testament had for the most part passed away after the New Testament era. There seemed to be a general confusion about why they had passed away. Regardless of all the theories, the important thing to Howard was that he could find no one in theological schools able to operate in the apostolic or prophetic ministries as described in the New Testament. The biggest shock to Howard was when he found less educated, nonseminary-trained ministers who claimed to be apostles and prophets. The problem was that these less scholarly ministers appeared to have both the gifts and ministries operating with the power of the Holy Spirit. In a search for truth, Howard determined to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that there could be no modern apostles or prophets. The only problem was that Howard could not disprove the existence of modern apostles or prophets based on the New Testament or on church history. What follows in this book is the result of a lifetime of study on the apostolic ministry. After an introduction by Dr. Chuck Flynn, Howard defends the necessity of modern apostles. He then defines and describes what a New Testament apostle is. Next, Howard describes apostles as leaders to the church. Finally, Howard describes the three major historical functions of the apostolic ministry—to found churches, to govern churches, and to train the other New Testament ministries.
Download or read book The Master s Plan for the Church written by John MacArthur and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that, claims John MacArthur, the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants. Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.

Download or read book Caring for Souls Growing Disciples written by Dan Hetherington and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible for the pastor of a church to do all that is needed. Even if they were to try to accomplish this, without giving up their primary calling as disciples of Christ, it would be a futile effort. The ministry of the Church, therefore, is not only the responsibility of the pastor, but the whole company of believers. Elders are ordained to serve with the pastor as shepherds of the congregation, leading and equipping others to serve God, the church, and the community according to their gifts. This book looks to provide a resource for all elders by looking to scripture for an understanding of eldership, defining this ministry for today, and outlining some of the duties that may be asked of them as they serve their local church.

Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to trace and find out the role of apostles and prophets in the Bible, and then share these in a practical way to help the church of today.

Among others, this book deals with the call of God, the constitution and functions of a prophet and of an apostle, Spiritual gifts, the difference between apostles and prophets, and how to test the manifestation of the Spirit.
