Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Download or read book Apostle written by Don Lynch and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundational kingdom leadership dynamics are prophet and apostle. Jesus devoted His leadership development to apostles, and positioned them primary when He Ascended. Apostles are the kingdom architectural master builders, using living stones for God's building. Apostles lead the fivefold leadership dynamics of the Body in preparing and positioning its members. Apostles lead the adorning character of the Bride by maintaining the purity of kingdom culture and government."Apostle" is a function, not a title. Apostles represent the Kingdom within the kingdom. Apostles prepare and position kingdom citizens to enhance the influence of the kingdom. Apostles lay kingdom foundations in that they function at that level of kingdom leadership.When we read the Bible and hear what it says, we end up at a very different place than when we allow human institutionalism to define the meaning of terms and the function of leaders. The Bible remains at odds with most of the conclusions of institutionalized religious groups because those groups devise their own structures for organization and leadership, ignoring kingdom dynamics to fit the Bible into their distinctives.So, to understand "apostles," we need to hear the meaning of the word in the mouth of Jesus. For more the last couple of decades, the discussion of apostles has vastly increased because of emphases placed upon this discussion by church growth experts. While this book isn't a treatment about the New Apostolic Reformation, it does speak to the fact that apostles do exist here and now, function at the foundational level of the kingdom, and their proper function calls us to reexamine all the kingdom leadership dynamics as they relate to Ecclesia.This booklet paints with broad strokes to explain the apostolic function, not exhausting any one aspect or providing long responses to arguments about current apostolic leadership models. The author honors the inspiration of C Peter Wagner and others contemporary voices but also gently challenges the kingdom leaders to a season of maturity. Dr Don feels that apostles have been restored to the kingdom leadership dynamics but that their leadership has not been restored at the foundational levels as yet because of glaring inconsistencies in how modern apostles function and criteria used to identify whether a person is, in fact, an apostle.A short read that may bring as many questions to the mind as answers, that points back to Scripture as the only Source of information on the subject given that the word, "apostolos," in the mouth of Jesus takes new meaning because Jesus is Apostle of the Father. When Jesus says, "Apostle," we must understand the definition, design, and function in Jesus and His originating apostles.Dr Don also finds the over emphasis upon Paul as apostle unnecessarily distracting in determining who is an apostle, the personality and disposition of apostles, and the faulty application of checklists and church growth principles to apostolic function. To understand Ecclesia, we begin with kingdom; to understand apostle, we also begin with kingdom. Attempts to study and understand apostles without the context of kingdom will certainly lead to misconceptions about apostles, thinking contrary to and inconsistent with the meaning of "apostle" in the mouth of Jesus.
Download or read book The Apostolic Canopy written by Joel Garcia and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostolic Canopy is a book that describes the relationship dynamics of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. This book addresses these individual roles and how they work together to reach and equip God's people to establish his kingdom. For too long the notion that apostles existed only in the first century or so of church history is no longer a valid argument. Today, it is evident that the fivefold ministry is rapidly emerging and mobilizing for the end time revival harvest that will sweep the globe. Apostles play the preeminent role among God's government, hence, the Apostolic Canopy. In this book you will understand the functional and relational dynamics of the Apostolic Canopy model. For you to embrace this model you must first understand and appreciate the role that each of the fivefold ministries plays in a person's life to reach, develop and send them to their destiny. Joel Garcia, a Senior Associate Pastor at the International Church of Las Vegas, for the past fourteen years has been actively involved in just about every facet of local church ministry with the exception of women's ministry. His latest endeavor has been preparing a team and planting of an extension campus in the south area of Las Vegas. In just the first two months the church has grown to over 200 people. Joel is currently pursuing his Master's degree from Regent University in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in executing coaching and mentoring, and has established his own executive coaching and consulting practice for the purpose of equipping church pastors and leaders, and marketplace executives to become more effective leaders. Joel and his wife Robyn have been married for the past 22 years and currently live in the Summerlin Community of Las Vegas with their three wonderful children Ashley, Joeley and Grant.

Download or read book Ken Sumrall and Church Foundational Network written by Terry D. Shiver and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first extensive examination of the life of Ken Sumrall and his firm belief in the modern-day apostolic restoration movement. It presents Sumrall's journey from his Baptist beginnings, through his experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, through his learning struggles with Liberty Fellowship of Churches and Ministers, and into his birthing of Church Foundational Network. It represents Sumrall in his own light, while dealing with his paradigm changes concerning church government the heart of which revolved around the restoration of modern-day apostles. Godly government was grounded in godly relationships with one's apostle, whom Sumrall understood as a "spiritual father." For Sumrall, the best biblical government for the New Testament church today is a theocracy. Instead of a centralized, hierarchical church government, Sumrall advanced a decentralized network of churches connected relationally. This volume contains the major influences upon Sumrall's thinking and the progress of his comprehension of the life of the church as "family." Moreover, it engages some of the apprehensions that have surfaced over the present-day apostolic movement and provides insights of the direction and survivability of the movement.
Download or read book Building an Apostolic People Formerly Holy Community written by John Kingsley Alley and published by Peace Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powerful teaching developed in this book began with a revelation the Lord gave concerning The Spirit of Understanding - a Biblical anointing that enables a church to become a people of one heart and mind. This is the grace that was poured out on the day of Pentecost, when, with the coming of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were changed from individuals with selfish ambition and petty jealousies, to a Christian community of deep love and agreement. The 12 disciples were different people after the day of Pentecost than before. Something changed them. The resurrection gave them faith in Christ, and Pentecost gave them something between themselves that caused them to love each other. That something is Holy Community and this book talks all about it. This great anointing in Pentecost is what is required for the Church today to again be such a people of one heart and mind - a holy community!
Download or read book Acheiving Apostolic Community written by David Alley and published by Peace Publishing. This book was released on with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was more to the day of Pentecost than the giving of spiritual gifts. The real gift was that a group of people were changed from being separate to being one... they received community. Such a corporate experience can happen today, to you and your church. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” How do you take a group of Christians for whom the gospel and Christian life seems relatively powerless, and infuse into them power to change them and their church? You need genuine apostolic (think early church) community. Not the type of community that you find in a monastary, or among the amish, but something that happens in the hearts of people. This book describes such a thing, and talks from both experience and scripture.

Download or read book The Apostolic Rising written by Jay Leach and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG – WHY CONTINUE TO TRAIN OTHERS TO DO THE SAME! The Church is not only the community of the redeemed – but also the redeeming community of the lost. We are not only commanded by our Lord and Savior, but also impelled by the indwelling Spirit of God to declare the message of God’s redeeming love and reconciliation in Jesus Christ to all peoples. I see a new apostolic generation rising in the earth today who are radically Christ centered (Acts 1:8). This Spirit-filled new wineskin will hold the new wine God is pouring out. The “new” is simply a restoration of what has been lost for 2000 years. What we need most is a renewal of the understanding, practice, and commitment to the Great Commission of the early apostolic church – of whom it was reported, “They turned the world upside down!” Many local churches are offering institutional religious substitutes. Dr. Leach argues, “Pastors, “If what you are doing is wrong (unbiblical) and you know it – why do you continue to train others to do the same?” He insists that we are trying build Christ’s Church and kingdom without Him, using man-made standards, plans and blueprints? If Christ is really the true foundation of what you are building, why can’t your instructions be found in the Letters and the Book of Acts? Displaying His love Jesus counsels, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, be zealous and repent. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 3:19, 22).
