Book excerpt: Today, we live in a multi-cultural, post-modern society that offers us a variety of ways to pursue the identity, community, power, and purpose we need to "live our best lives." But the writer of Proverbs warns us that there are ways that seem right to us that actually lead to death--not the life we seek. Jesus spoke about a narrower road that leads to life. How do we find it? This book unpacks the five central teachings of Jesus that point the way to abundant lives marked by freedom, purpose, and joy. Each section contains exercises and practices that you can engage alone or with a group as you learn to walk in the way of Jesus.

Download or read book Kingdom Advancing written by Trevor Grizzle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the kingdom of God has remained one of the dominant and most important themes in theology and biblical studies. The kingdom of God is no passive, abstract construct, or static movement. God's rule and reign stretch to the farthest bounds of the earth--reaching and encompassing humankind wherever they may be found and bringing them under the lordship of Christ. It is this aggressive march of the kingdom that inspired the title of this book. While engaging a readership of persons with interests and differing levels of formal academic training, Kingdom Advancing targets theological students, local pastors, and laypersons who wish to broaden and deepen their biblical and theological understanding of God's rule in the world. To that end the writing and contents are neither pedantic nor elementary but are pitched at an accessible wavelength and frequency. The reader will find the contents to be theologically and biblically balanced.

Book excerpt: An Award-Winning Challenge to Popular Ideas of the Kingdom According to Scot McKnight, "kingdom" is the biblical term most misused by Christians today. It has taken on meanings that are completely at odds with what the Bible says and has become a buzzword for both social justice and redemption. In Kingdom Conspiracy, McKnight offers a sizzling biblical corrective and a fiercely radical vision for the role of the local church in the kingdom of God. Now in paper.

Download or read book Kingdom Family written by Trevecca Okholm and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-02-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lot of talk these days about how churches need to become more "missional" and "Kingdom-focused"--but what about the families that make up our churches and often reflect the surrounding culture more than the Kingdom of God? Christian families know that God has a better purpose for marriage and family but often don't have the slightest idea how to get there. And while many books on Christian marriage and family are inwardly focused on simply getting along "better," this book addresses the cultural influences that have taken our focus away from God's intended purpose for marriage and family and, through analysis and practical suggestions, recalls marriages and families to the purpose for which God intended them in the first place--namely, to serve God's Kingdom as witnesses to a world desperately seeking deeper purpose and authenticity.
Download or read book A Fellowship of Differents written by Scot McKnight and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling book about diversity and community, McKnight shares his personal experiences and his study of the Apostle Paul to answer this significant question: What is the church supposed to be? Local churches matter far more than we often know because they determine what Christian life looks like for you. The church McKnight grew up in was a fellowship of sames and likes. Mostly white, same beliefs about everything, same tastes in music and worship and sermons and lifestyle. But the church God designed, says McKnight, is meant to be a fellowship of difference and differents. A mixture of people from all across the map and spectrum: men and women, rich and poor, black and white, and everything in between. A Fellowship of Differents explores the church as God’s world-changing social experiment of bringing unlikes and differents to the table to share life with one another as a new kind of family, showing the world what love, justice, peace, reconciliation, and life together is designed by God to be.
Download or read book Word and Power written by Gareth W. D. Stewart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the Reformed and Charismatic streams have seemed to be almost mutually exclusive. In recent years, this exclusivity has been being challenged by a new generation of Reformed thinkers. This work aims at considering the contribution of John Wimber, the late leader of the Vineyard Churches, to contemporary theological reflection within the Reformed tradition. Taking into account John Wimber's unique theology of the "radical middle," which is somewhere between Pentecostal and Evangelical, this book asks whether Wimber may be a possible alternative source for the contemporary Reformed Churches as they approach ministry and mission in the twenty-first century. Written from a confessional Presbyterian context in Northern Ireland, Word and Power places Wimber in his theological context and asks whether Wimber's view of power evangelism, discipleship formation, and ministry training might be a model that Reformed Churches--and Presbyterians in particular--could adopt for their ecclesiology today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God is the called out people of God (Col. 1:1314) from the world of darkness as the spiritual family of Christ. The kingdom of God is bound up in the age of grace and truth and is the fulfillment of Gods promise to Abraham to bless all nations of people. The kingdom of God in prophecy started during the Roman rule (Dan. 2:44) with the Jews at Pentecost in Jerusalem (ca. 33 AD) and then to the Gentile world to include our present age. Jesus reigns as Lord and Christ over His church / the kingdom of God in the twenty-first century and continues to call people of every nation to walk with Him by faith, repentance, and baptism in His name until the consummation of all things and His second return. The Christian Age is the eschatology (Last Day events) of Jesuss reign under the leadership of the Holy Spirit through the preached Word. The salvation of the Gentile nations is the final work of God to restore what was lost in heaven through Satan and his angels (Rev. 12:710). When Jesus appears, his reign ends, and the spiritual family and the church of Christ / kingdom of God will go home.
Download or read book The Camps of God Out of the Chaos Into the Kingdom written by John F. Finkbeiner and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nothing in the world is as powerful as an idea whose time has come,” so wrote 19th century French author, Victor Hugo. The Camps of God is a powerful heaven-sent idea that will rescue a great multitude from the growing chaos and lead them on a path of escape toward the coming Kingdom of God. "The Camps of God" did not originate with men. It comes to us from God's Word. We know of it because the Spirit's veil has been lifted. Insights have been shown from Scripture and written in The Camps of God’s pages. Chapters such as “Escape,” “Invitation to a Feast,” and “A Powerful Defense,” will reveal the Lord’s perfect plan. Be warned about the Broad Gate and the Broad Road. They lead only to destruction. By faith, enter the narrow gate. After God’s work in His Camp is complete, saints will come out the other side prepared to meet Jesus in the clouds. This book is not for everybody. Not everyone sees the direction the world is headed. Many do not see civilization spinning out of control. The chosen fear God and see signs we are near the end of this age. Cover-to-cover, the saints will read with joy then take action. Great ideas are forever. "The Camps of God" will sound the trumpet. Happy are those ready and eager to move out of the chaos and into Jesus' Kingdom.
Download or read book Reimagining the Kingdom written by Jeremy Bouma and published by THEOKLESIA. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this important guide, Jeremy Bouma explains how many who speak of the Kingdom of God do not mean what Jesus meant by it. If you are one who is attracted to the liberal gospel, this guide might just save your soul." —MICHAEL E. WITTMER, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary Recently use of Kingdom language in evangelicalism has markedly increased, and rightly so, as the Kingdom is central to the gospel and teachings of Jesus. Several scholars have noted similarities between this language and Protestant liberalism. Yet they have not significantly explored how liberal theology is impacting evangelical notions of the Kingdom, and consequently the gospel. Reimagining the Kingdom traces the development of this language through four generations of liberals—from Schleiermacher to Ritschl, Rauschenbusch, and Tillich—to explore how their liberal language is affecting evangelical theology, as illustrated by progressive evangelical and Emergent Brian McLaren. By exploring how theological liberals define the human problem, understand that problem’s solution, and interpret the nature of the One who bore that solution, this book reveals an inextricable link between progressive evangelicalism and Protestant liberalism. It is vitally important that evangelicals understand the contours of liberal Kingdom theology to understand how it is affecting how evangelicals are showing and telling the gospel itself.

It’s time to roar.
Download or read book Living With Babel written by Matthew C. Gartner and published by Cherith Haven Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth That Most Christians Will Reject Millions of Christians have been led to believe that they are being saved by professing faith in Jesus, going to church, and trying to be good, while otherwise living lives that are fundamentally as worldly, as the unbelievers around them. This patterned discipleship, practiced in almost all churches, attempts to join faith in God, with faith, comfort, and approval in the world. It seeks to have eternal life later, and the rewards of the world now. It seeks to serve two masters. It is disguised in high words such as faith and discipleship, and affirms itself through rituals, but it lacks the genuine dependance on God, the humility that abandons worldly affirmation, and the self-sacrifice that forgoes comfort to further the Kingdom. To contrast this, the Bible proclaims a very different church and discipleship—A Church of such true belief in Christ, that its disciples are moved to sacrifice their comfort, their pride, and even their lives, to stand as a testimony to the truth and saving power of God, in a fallen world. It proclaims a Church more concerned about saving others than saving itself, and therein lies the shallowness of the churches that we see today. This should move us to question: Where is the church in the world today, and why is it so hidden, if it is supposed to be a city on a hill? "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;" Matthew 5:14 Where is the rejection by the world, of believers who stand by God's truth? "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you." John 15:19 Where is the preaching that leads believers to a true understanding of the world and true separation from the world? "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 Where are the messengers, who are supposed to share the Good News with the 100,000 unbelievers who are perishing every day? "…How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent?…" Romans 10:14-15 Where is the true fellowship that does more than chat over coffee and meals, but instead supports, corrects, edifies, and heals fellow believers in humility, love, and truth? "We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone." 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Where is the belief in eternal life that abandons slavery to the fear of death?—the belief that was so obviously missing during the COVID-19 pandemic? "…He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." Hebrews 2:14-15 Where is the sacrifice for Jesus, the denial of self for the growing of the Kingdom? "…If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." Matthew 16:24 Jesus, himself, warned us: "For many are called, but few are chosen" Matthew 22:14. In this light, "Living With Babel" testifies to what scripture says the Church should be. It breaks the chains and misconceptions formed over centuries, to reveal our true purpose in God's plan of redemption for our fallen world—It is a guide on how to live with Babel.
