Download or read book Duties of Christian Fellowship written by John Owen and published by Puritan Paperbacks. This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duties of Christian Fellowship deals with a matter of perennial concern for every truly Christian church. In just a few pages it sets out in very concise terms the responsibilities all Christians have, first, to their pastors, and then second, to one another within the fellowship of the local church. John Owen was a pastor as well as a theologian and therefore this is a most practical manual of church fellowship. It was likely intended to be read by individuals with self-examination, meditation and prayer, but it would also be very suitable for group Bible study or adult Sunday School classes. This edition is enhanced by a modernized text and the addition of questions which have been added to facilitate group discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congregational authority is less about the meetings and more about the mission. Congregationalism has a bad rap for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings, upstart members, browbeaten ministers. But biblical congregationalism isn’t so much about the meetings. It’s about empowering the whole church to promote and protect the gospel. Pastors lead and equip. Members get to work strengthening one another and pursuing Christ’s mission in the world.

Download or read book The Church Rights and Responsibilities of the Believer written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling message, Prof Fomum delves into the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of the believer within the context of the church. He puts things in the form of a systematic exposition of the Scriptures in the book of Ephesians. The unique characteristics and raison d'être of the church are clearly presented. · Is the church a building or the people? · What's the role of the church in the believer's life and vice versa? · How does someone become a member of the church? · What does a believer miss by not being part of the local church? The reader will discover that all of God’s power is available to the believer only in the context of the church. He who is fully in the church will tap into that power. The purposes of God are tied to the church. Unless one finds his place in the church, in the local context, he has missed it all. Every believer must therefore get to know his rights and responsibilities in the local church, flow in them, fulfill them and enjoy the benefits therein. The believer's rights are an empowering anointing while spiritual gifts and offices are given to enable him carry out every responsibility successfully.

Download or read book The 10 Key Roles of a Pastor written by Gary L. McIntosh and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If most pastors were pressed to describe an average day of ministry, they'd have trouble doing it. In a single day, a pastor may fill many different roles in quick succession, from counselor to theologian to student to CEO to custodian (well, let's hope there's usually someone else available to perform that last role). Some roles come more naturally than others, but every pastor wants to perform each role to the best of their ability. In The 10 Key Roles of a Pastor, church consultant Gary L. McIntosh shows pastors how to - understand and juggle their many essential roles - prioritize their time and energy - manage their people's expectations of them - and empower others to take up the vital work of the church body Pastors just starting out in ministry, as well as those who have been at it a while and find themselves overworked and overwhelmed, will value this practical resource. It is also an enlightening read for those in church leadership who would benefit from understanding the pressures their pastor faces on a daily basis.
