This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all pray "Thy kingdom come", but do we understand what we are saying and what we are praying for? Are we clear about the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the Christian Church? What is the relationship between the history of salvation and the manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth? Who is the real Bride and Wife of the Lamb referred to in Revelation 19 and 21? Is the ultimate destiny of humankind heaven or the earth? And what are the obligations of, and challenges to, 21st century Christians in proclaiming the Kingdom?Uninfluenced by any denominational theology, Professor Emmanuel Ngara believes the way to understand and unpack Jesus' message on the Kingdom of God is to let the Holy Spirit enlighten us and reveal the truth of the Voice of God to us as we go through the pages of the Bible. Guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, he has clarified the meaning and importance of the concept of the Kingdom of God in Jesus' message, and has shown the various phases of the Kingdom as revealed in the relevant Scripture passages from Genesis through the Gospels to the Book of Revelation. Learning to Lead for the Kingdom presents a fresh, enlightening and challenging exposition of "the Kingdom of God."

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.

Download or read book Learning to Lead at the Feet of Jesus written by Todd Poulter and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redefining the Posture of Leadership Despite our best intentions, many of us struggle to consistently reflect Jesus in our leadership. We look for answers in current Christian best-sellers, the latest business trends, or the newest leadership theories. But the Gospels suggest a very different starting point: a new posture. No matter how lofty our title, status, or renown as leaders, we can never rise higher in the kingdom than to the feet of Jesus. Building on Jesus’s intimacy with the Father, Learning to Lead at the Feet of Jesus highlights the rich relational setting in which Jesus exercised leadership and developed his followers into leaders. In the context of his intentional “with-ness,” Jesus generously shared his life and authority with the Twelve. Poulter draws on a wide variety of cross-cultural experiences and invites leaders to a refreshing journey of discovery, intimacy, and transformation. With reflective questions designed to provoke insight and self-awareness, this book challenges readers to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Jesus, and evaluate their own beliefs, assumptions, and cultural expectations about leadership.

Download or read book Lead like Christ written by A.W. Tozer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does Christ-Centered Leadership Look Like? As a Christian, does your leadership approach look any different from that of those who don't follow Christ? Throughout the Bible, God shows us what leadership looks in His kingdom, and sometimes it can seem upside-down. The first shall be last. The master shall be the servant. But how can we apply these counterintuitive truths in our world today? Rather than focusing on the nuts and bolts of management, Lead like Christ uses the book of Titus to take a close look at what biblical leadership entails. Using Paul's instructions to his young ministry partner as a guide, Tozer takes us through themes of grace, servanthood, spiritual boldness, and humility toward the Word of God. This foundation will lead to powerful, long-lasting change in both your own leadership role today as well as in God's eternal kingdom.

It is time that we listen again to the underlying message of the greatest prophet and teacher who has ever lived and not only make his teaching relevant, but the teacher as well.
