Download or read book Becoming a Biblical Leader 30 Days of Scriptural Principle and Spiritual Growth written by Jeremy Norton and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuing biblically-driven personal growth is critical for the leader who desires to have an effective, God-centered ministry. Scriptures like Philippians 1:6 confirm that any call God places upon us will be carried out for His glory and the blessing of others; but growth, cultivation, and harvest require a spirit of honesty and humility and a commitment to conform to the leadership and character of Christ. Becoming a Biblical Leader: 30 Days of Scriptural Principle and Spiritual Growth beckons the reader to focus on one's calling as a biblical leader and offers thirty days of simple lessons and reflection as tools to experience the growth necessary to truly lead well. Endorsements “In this book, Jeremy approaches leadership in a holistic manner, dealing with ideas and issues that every leader needs to contemplate. Each principle is rooted in God’s Word which is Jeremy’s anchor throughout the book. He also gives a leadership challenge for every principle, allowing the reader to practically apply that principle to their own situation. This is a valuable resource for anyone in leadership, desiring to become the leader that God has called them to become.” Dave Lane Satellite Director Youth Unlimited YFC Sarnia-Lambton “Becoming A Biblical Leader is a thoughtful and practical workbook that can help both individuals and groups as they work through key thoughts about leadership. As a thirty-day daily guide, it is succinct enough to be used in a variety of settings and with a cross-section of people, helping in their foundational development as leaders.” David Horita Pacific Region Director Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches “Serving Christ in a northern church presents many unique challenges and joys. As seen in the life of Jesus and Paul the wilderness affords opportunity in the journey of knowing God. Pastor Jeremy Norton, in the great tradition of being formed and forming others in Christ, has some wise and generous counsel for those serving fellow believers in the ways of God’s Word. Becoming a Biblical Leader brings us to that far off beach where Paul and the leaders of the Ephesian church knelt down and prayed to God for the sake of Gospel and Church. May we all join them and learn something of what Jesus said concerning leadership; that it was “not so among you” as it is among the Nations. The Jesus way surely begins on our knees. Rev. Dr. T. Gregory Anderson Pastor in the North

Download or read book Jesus the Great Philosopher written by Jonathan T. Pennington and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us tend to live as though Jesus represents the "spiritual part" of our lives. We don't clearly see how he relates to the rest of our experiences, desires, and habits. How can Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity become more than a compartmentalized part of our lives? Highly regarded New Testament scholar and popular teacher Jonathan Pennington argues that we need to recover the lost biblical image of Jesus as the one true philosopher who teaches us how to experience the fullness of our humanity in the kingdom of God. Jesus teaches us what is good, right, and beautiful and offers answers to life's big questions: what it means to be human, how to be happy, how to order our emotions, and how we should conduct our relationships. This book brings Jesus and Christianity into dialogue with the ancient philosophers who asked the same big questions about finding meaningful happiness. It helps us rediscover biblical Christianity as a whole-life philosophy, one that addresses our greatest human questions and helps us live meaningful and flourishing lives.

His words are powerful, and He wants to reach those that never met him and those who are in a relationship with Him. Both are equally important. I learned throughout writing this book that I am only His typist and humbled to hold that position. This is my second book but the most important. My first book, My Journey to Embrace God's Grace, is a story of my life, trials and joys, as most of us experience day to day. Here I am today totally transformed by God. My faith is deeper. My prayer life is deeper. I have become a servant, and it is truly the greatest challenge for me to live each day as His servant. God Does Not Delete, He Delivers shows the reader that you are his child and he will always surround you with love and protection. This book is filled with many stories of many people and most of them I was led to by God. They come from all walks of life and showed me the power of God's love for us by walking with us through our pain and adversity, and then celebrating our joys. Most importantly, never leaving us. My prayer for the reader is that you see yourself in a word, a paragraph, a chapter, and know this book was written for you by the author of the Good News, God Most High. So from this servant, my message is never give up for you are not alone in this journey. Therefore, as God's Chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3: 12-14) NIV
