Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÒFaith development cannot be divided into components. Rather it can be likened to the growth of a plant: seed, root, stem, leaf, bud, bloom. Each step happens in sequence, yet all are dependent on the earlier and continuing phases. All phases are the plant; the bloom is no more the plant than are the leaves or roots. So it is with faith: all phases are faith. Yet there is a distinct pattern of development.Ó --from Chapter 1

Download or read book Organic Church written by Neil Cole and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-06-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren't being reached, who don't want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God's presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God's Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms,and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it.

Download or read book Ever Increasing Faith Sea Harp Timeless series written by Smith Wigglesworth and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oh, if you would only believe God! What would happen?" Miracles were central to the ministry of Jesus and the beginnings of the early church. Yet, for many Christians today, the outrageous provision and promises of God feel like a thing of the past. Ever Increasing Faith is a collection of Smith Wigglesworth's sermons that demonstrate all that is possible through belief, with descriptive and inspiring firsthand accounts of healings, deliverances and breathtaking miracles. Wigglesworth's ministry and life were rooted in the unwavering belief that God heals the sick, sets the captives free, and redeems the brokenhearted—during Jesus’ time and now. A plumber-turned-evangelical-preacher, Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1957) had a radical encounter with the healing power of God. One of the pioneers of the Pentecostal revival, Wigglesworth traveled the world preaching the Gospel and healing the sick. Through his ministry, thousands were saved, hundreds were healed, and 14 people were raised from the dead. Known as the “Apostle of Faith”, Wigglesworth's formula was simple: “First, read the Word of God. Second, consume the Word of God until it consumes you. Third, believe the Word of God. Fourth, act on the Word.” In this compilation of sermon transcriptions, the reader will find: Firsthand accounts of miracles and healings Reflections on God’s goodness and power A faith-filled voice that passionately loved God A challenge to live a life led by the Spirit Assurance that a life of ever increasing faith is possible for all Ever Increasing Faith invites the reader on an incredible adventure to trust in God’s power to heal and to live a life guided by the passion, creativity and love of the Holy Spirit.

Download or read book Growing God s Church written by Gary L. McIntosh and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's no secret that the evangelism methods of yesterday are not yielding the kinds of results they did in the 1970s and 1980s. So how are new Christians hearing the Gospel today? How are they finding churches? And what makes them stay at a church? The answers to these questions have the power to dramatically alter the way we do outreach. And Dr. McIntosh has them. Based on ten years of scientific research, Growing God's Church shows pastors and church leaders how people are actually coming to faith in the 21st century. It covers factors such as our motive for ministry, the priorities churches set for themselves, the reality of churchless Christians, generational and gender-based differences in evangelism effectiveness, the name of your church, the influence of pastors, and much more. The appendix includes a copy of the survey that provides the basis for McIntosh's arguments and an overview of the study is provided in the first chapter.
