Book excerpt: Conceived in 1853 as a canny real-estate scheme by two young investors expecting to get rich off the idea, Market Square came to be Knoxville's most public spot, a marketplace familiar to every man, woman, and child in the area. By the 1860s, it was the busiest place in a burgeoning city. In a town that became bitterly divided by politics, race, and background, Market Square became a rare common ground: a place to buy all sorts of local produce, but also a place to experience new things, including the grandiose Market House itself, considered a model in a progressive era. Beset by urban blight by the mid-1900s, Market Square had become more of a curiosity than a point of municipal pride, and the neighborhood declined. After years of controversy, the city razed the Market House and struggled to modernize the old Square itself. This second edition is packed with more information about the colorful history of this eccentric place, including details about its African American heritage, the surprising origins of a recent international bestseller, and a much fuller account of its present-day resurgence as an example of vigorous urban revival. Through a combination of public and private efforts in the 21st century, Market Square seems to be returning to its original diverse spirit, suggesting why, on a good day, it can resemble--as a reporter described it in 1900--"the most democratic place on earth." Jack Neely is the award-winning "Secret History" columnist for Metro Pulse, Knoxville's weekly newspaper. He is the author of From the Shadow Side and Other Stories about Knoxville, Tennessee, and, with Aaron Jay, of The Marble City: A Photographic Tour of Knoxville's Graveyards.
Download or read book Disciple Like Jesus written by Phil Maynard and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many congregations, there is a lack of clarity about what a disciple is and what a disciple does. Your congregation might find it helpful to have a larger conversation in worship or as a small group series around this theme. Disciple Like Jesus could provide the framework for this conversation. At the conclusion of each section, you will find a set of discussion questions that could support this conversation.Small Group StudyThere are many small groups of different varieties meeting at thousands of churches every week. They are forming bonds, supporting each other, often studying, and sometimes serving together. And yet, many people in many congregations sense there is something missing. They just don't know what that might be. Disciple Like Jesus could launch them on a new way of engaging life both within and outside of the Church.Accountability GroupEach of the dimensions of discipleship described in this book includes specific suggestions for behaviors that help develop the "life of" ways of living like Jesus. Accountability is vital to this process. Whether through mentoring, apprenticing, coaching, small groups, or triads, partners can and should process this resource together. They should commit to specific behaviors, and hold each other accountable for progress. Leadership TrainingThe greatest form of leadership in the Church is the leading of disciples toward maturity in becoming more like Jesus. There are skills, presented in Disciple Like Jesus, that can help develop more effective leadership toward this goal. In a strong sense, every disciple is called to be this kind of leader. But those publicly identified as leaders (in whatever role) have a biblically mandated special responsibility to be modeling this kind of discipleship development.Personal StudyDisciple Like Jesus provides many tools for exploration for individuals into the ways in which they can become more like Jesus and disciple like Jesus did. There are also many references for further study and personal growth. We do believe, however, that while this is a great resource for individual study, it is even better to study with a friend or two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the introduction to his book, author Dan Pezet asks, "What does successfully connecting with the community look like for a church in these modern days, and how do we get there?" That is where Expanding the Expedition Through Community Connection is headed. The final answer will look different for each church. But as we journey together through this book, we will lay out common strategies and exercises to help your church improve its connections. Even though the end of our journey is still off in the distance, if you look up the trail, you might catch a glimpse. Do you see it? Way down at the end of the trail, I see a church that has found its responsible citizenship within its community. I also see a community that acknowledges the church's value for spiritual leadership, and the church values its connection to the community. That is where we are going. There are some rough parts of the trail to get there, and parts will take some hard work. It is a spiritually fulfilling journey, though, as we seek to fulfill a part of the Greatest Commandment that Jesus gave us and often overlook: love our neighbors. At times, our journey on The Great Expedition can take us down remote and undiscovered paths. This segment of the expedition, though, will end up taking us into the heart of your community.

Book excerpt: Mission Possible, by Kay Kotan and Blake Bradford, has been taken to a new level.

In this book aimed at congregational leaders, particularly United Methodists, the authors provide practical, field-tested steps to simplify your church structure and unleash more people into ministry. Too often churches try to simplify their structures by just having fewer people at the meeting table. But real simplification and accountable leadership means that meetings - and leaders - are transformed. Kay and Blake walk you through both the technical and adaptive changes to simplify your structure for missional effectiveness. Mission Possible 3+ includes more than 50 pages of additional resources, making the transition to a simplified structure even more straightforward.

Download or read book San Antonio s Historic Market Square written by Edna Campos Gravenhorst and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Antonio was founded in 1718. By 1730, the viceroy of New Spain had issued orders to map plazas, squares, and parks for the Canary Islanders who would be arriving in 1731. The plazas with their markets became the centers for business and entertainment. The first square was Plaza de Armas (Military Plaza); when the islanders arrived, they marked off the Plaza de las Islas (Main Plaza). Before the Civil War, Alamo Plaza was the center of commerce. As San Antonio grew, the markets needed to relocate. The construction of Municipal Market began in 1899. This market house, built in Paschal Square, was demolished in the 1930s, but the Municipal Market Annex, constructed in the 1920s, survived. The annex buildings would become El Mercado and Centro de Artes. In the 1970s, a permanent building for the farmers market was built in Hay Market Plaza. Today, these buildings, along with the historic buildings in the area, are known as Market Square.
Download or read book Money Talks written by Callie Picardo and published by . This book was released on 2021-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money talks. Money has power. Influence. It ascribes worth and value. Almost like a god, money beckons us to worship and idolize. In fact, money has become a god for many of us. We work and work to get more, buy more, consume more-to have the latest, the best, the better than we had before. We stress about money. Will we have enough? What do we do when the bank account gets too low? When the credit card bills get too high? What happens when there's more month than money? The good news is, money isn't the only thing that talks. God also talks. Even louder than money if we have the ears to hear. God is speaking today through the power of the Holy Spirit. And as much as the world loves to talk about money, God has even more to say. What is He trying to tell us in the midst of all this money talk? Simply this: He is enough. So, how can we talk about money as it relates to our relationship with God, others, and the world? This book is spiritual, but it's also practical. Throughout these pages readers will explore how to actually earn, save, spend, and give in a way that puts God, not money, first. There are countless Christian books on money, but many of them focus on worldly concepts-only attempting to fit God's Word in as an afterthought. In Money Talks, the Roz and Callie Picardo share their hope that in listening to God speak, He will direct our steps in all areas- from earning and saving to spending and giving. That's why this book was written. Greed, materialism, debt, and consumerism have a hold on so many hearts, and we want to see people set free to worship God alone. It's nearly impossible to avoid the use of money in our culture, but it is possible to seek God first in all areas of our life and put money in its proper place: simply a tool used to give God the glory.
