Download or read book Spirit and Sacrament written by Andrew Wilson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit and Sacrament by pastor and author Andrew Wilson is an impassioned call to join together two traditions that are frequently and unnecessarily kept separate. It is an invitation to pursue the best of both worlds in worship, the Eucharistic and the charismatic, with the grace of God at the center. Wilson envisions church services in which healing testimonies and prayers of confession coexist, the congregation sings When I Survey the Wondrous Cross followed by Happy Day, and creeds move the soul while singing moves the body. He imagines a worship service that could come out of the book of Acts: Young men see visions, old men dream dreams, sons and daughters prophesy, and they all come together to the same Table and go on their way rejoicing. In short, Spirit and Sacrament is an appeal to bring out of the church's storehouse all of its treasures, so that God's people can worship our unrivaled Savior with sacraments and spiritual gifts, raised hands and lowered faces.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ministry in the Church: In Relation to Prophecy and Spiritual Gifts (Charismata) These lectures, delivered on the Alexander Robertson Foundation in the University of Glasgow, were written during August, September and October of 1914, months of distraction and anxiety for us all; and since their delivery the circumstances of the time have allowed of little leisure for their revisal: - I am extremely conscious that they are even less adequate to the subject than otherwise one might have hoped to make them. The subject is, besides, one which calls for an expert knowledge possible only to those whose main work lies along special lines, a knowledge to which I cannot at all pretend. So far however as experts are good enough to supply us with their data and reasons, there is opportunity for even the less well equipped to form an opinion upon the conclusions which experts reach, and to submit conclusions to which on consideration of the data they themselves have been led.

After a thorough and careful study of the writings of the early church fathers, Dr. Kydd provides an objective, informative analysis and reaches thought-provoking conclusions. “What emerges from a study of the sources is a picture of a Church which is strongly charismatic until around A.D. 200.” Quality scholarship communicated in a striking personal style makes this book enjoyable and challenging for the layperson, minister, student, and scholar.

Download or read book The Definitive Guide to the Prophetic written by Joni Ames and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An outstanding presentation of proper use of prophetic ministry..." --Bill Hamon "Every believer will do well to read and heed this strategic book." --Jack Taylor "A solid prophetic voice in the church today." --Roberts Liardon Restoring Prophetic Ministry to Its Rightful Place in God's Church "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith." (Romans 12:6) Joni Ames provides a Bible-based, clear, concise, and practical explanation of the operation and use of personal prophetic ministry in the church today. Her goal is twofold: first, to act as a teacher and mentor to help people with prophetic gifts understand and mature into those gifts; and second, to help pastors and church leaders understand, acknowledge, discern, and train the prophetic community within their body of believers. Joni also debunks some myths and falsehoods about prophetic ministry, while bringing a greater level of maturity and confidence to those seeking to develop their revelatory gifts.

Download or read book Spiritual Gifts written by Rose Publishing and published by Rose Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This best-selling Spiritual Gifts Pamphlet explains the spiritual gifts in the Bible and includes a Spiritual Gifts Quiz to help people know their gifts. This Spiritual Gifts booklet explains each of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and what they mean. When you became a Christian, the Holy Spirit gave you spiritual gifts to build up fellow believers, both in your own church and worldwide. This pamphlet defines spiritual gifts, and describes the differences between the biblical gifts. The Spiritual Gifts Test helps you identify your spiritual gifts, and explains how to use your gifts to benefit others. Each gift of the Spirit is vital and none is more important than others. No matter what your giftedness is, you play an important role in strengthening the church. Did You Know? 63% of Christians Don't Know Their Spiritual GiftsA recent Barna study showed that nearly two-thirds of Christians don't know their spiritual gift(s), don't think they have a gift at all, or claim to have a gift that is not actually biblical. Most Christians know something about Spiritual Gifts, but many don't realize how important they are. Believers are given Spiritual Gifts to contribute to the growth of the church. Spiritual Gifts are important because Scripture says that the church needs all of the gifts working together to help build the Body of Christ. Every believer counts! This pamphlet includes a Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire to determine which gift(s) you might have. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to Christians to help build the life and ministry of the Church. Yet, a large number of Christians do not use or even recognize their spiritual gift. Rose Publishing's Spiritual Gifts pamphlet will help you learn how important Spiritual Gifts are and how to develop the gift(s) the Holy Spirit has given you. Topics in the Spiritual Gifts pamphlet include — • A self-test "Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire" to determine which gift or gifts you may have. • Description of each gift and how to develop it more as you minister to other believers. Use for • Individual study • Discipleship • Small Group or Sunday School class • Christian School • Homeschoolers • New Believers' class • Church library Study Questions for Personal Use or Small Groups: • Read pages 2-4: Based on page 2, what are the purposes of the gifts? These days many churches have paid staff; so why would the God give each believer a gift for the church? Why are these gifts important to all believers? • See page 3: Some gifts are very dramatic and visible and others are quiet and don't attract much attention. What is the main purpose of these gifts? Why do people need to be involved with other Christians, rather than becoming isolated? Scripture says we must appreciate each person's gift even if it is not very showy. How might you recognize the gifts that other believers have? • See page 4 and the 8 biblical ways that Holy Spirit works in our lives: The Holy Spirit is actively at work in the church with the purpose of glorifying Christ and helping the body of Christ (believers in the church) become more mature. Look at the list: Pick two ways the Holy Spirit acts and why they are important to the church. What would happen if these did not happen? How might you help carry out these priorities in your church? • Read all of page 5 and then go back to the first paragraph. If the Holy Spirit provides the life to the body, how do the members "keep it moving"? Later in the Spiritual Gifts pamphlet, each gift will be described, but based on these four lists of spiritual gifts from Scripture, why do you think such a wide variety of gifts is given to the church? Pick any two gifts and tell how (in your opinion) they fit into the Holy Spirit's priorities on page 4. • Read page 6-7: Christians in every type of church agree on what the spiritual gifts are, but not all Christians agree on precisely how and when they are to be used. Look at Paul's warning at the bottom of page 6 (taken from 2 Corinthians 12:12-26) about not being arrogant but showing concern for each member of the body (each person) so that the church isn't divided. How can we show concern and respect and avoid hard feelings today? • Read pages 8-10 describing each gift. Pick two gifts and read the Bible verses that go with it. Questions: How does this gift build up other believers? Give two examples of ways it ministers to the church. Is there a way this gift might be misused? • Answer the questions on the Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire on pages 11-13. Which gift(s) do you think you might have and why? How could you use this gift to minister to others in your church? Are there any ministries in your church you could help? Why Buy? • Easy to read. Explains the Bible visually. • Attractive. Full-color, packed with fascinating charts and illustrations. • Easy to understand. Uses concise and simple language. • Fast.

Download or read book The Ministry Gifts of the Holy Spirit written by Billy M. Lauderdale and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps one of the most misunderstood things in the Bible if the Holy Spirit. Most people know that it is a part of the Holy trinity, some may even know about the baptism of the Holy Spirit; however most people rarely go beyond that. The Holy Spirit is significantly more important than most Christians understand. It's not only important to us but the Church as well. Today more than ever we need to understand the Holy Spirit, as well as the gifting of the Spirit. We read in Ephesians 4:11 that the Lord gave us gifts to be used. These gifts are known as ministry gifts they are to be used to prefect the church. They were all but forgotten however, they were restored to the church by the reawakening of the charismatic movement. Like all things of God the Devil has a counterfeit which had led to much confusion and misunderstanding, it has also led to much abuse. Today, He is restoring a biblical understanding of what these roles and callings mean. The church has come a long way, even though there is still a lot of wrong conceptions and rejection due to the abuse prevalent in His body. However, when the gifts are recognized and they start taking their rightful places, the Church can come into its maturity. Having all five offices in place in the church does not mean it is free from all work and responsibilities, on the contrary. It will find itself in a place of growth and equipping that nobody has ever dreamed possible. Only when the church becomes what God meant it to be, with all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as the five-fold ministry gifts, in place, will we truly come into full maturity and have the ability to fulfill the commission our Master Jesus gave us, to make disciples of all nations, doing the same works He did, and even greater. That is why now more then ever their is a need to understand the Gifts of the Spirit more than ever. Over the years, there have been volumes written on the subject of spiritual gifts. Lists have been compiled, and test written and administered with various degrees of success and understanding. Even with all the differing opinions from various people, the study and application of knowing one's spiritual gift can have the greatest of impacts on the character of the church and its membership. Once you understand what your gifting is, it will bring a greater sense of pleasure, purpose and security. In today's Church the gifts of ministry are needed more than ever, however we don't see them in action very often, some people may even have gone their entire life and not see the gifts working. Some may have a general idea of what they are while others may not know what they are. Most who do know of the Gifts of the Spirit are often confused about them. How often does someone misunderstand how they work, and confuse the use of them? Such as the prophet, and the gift of Prophecy, both are gifts of the Spirit but each is different in how they are used. For example all prophets have the gift of prophecy and can use the gift of prophecy, but not all people who can prophecy are prophets. With the reawakening of the charismatic movement the gifts of the spirit (Spiritual gifts) has been reawakened and brought back into the church. It is sad to say that in today's church the use of Spiritual gifts are the source of much controversy and confusion among believers. Some churches and or their demotions won't allow them because they don't know them are they fear them. This is interesting and something of a sad commentary, since these gifts are meant to be graces from God for the edification of the church. Even today, as in the early church, the misuse and misunderstanding of spiritual gifts have brought division--splitting up, rather than building up--in the church. Here in this book I seek to avoid the controversies by simply exploring what the Bible says about spiritual gifts, and help you to understand what the gifts are and how they can benefit the Church.

Book excerpt: Many Christians have tried to discover their spiritual gifts only to find the process frustrating and complicated.

His convincing and readable study suggests that the Holy Spirit does not give special abilities (the conventional view), but rather calls us and places us into various ministries to build up and strengthen the body of Christ. - Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief, miracles did not pass away with the twelve apostles. If anything, the Pentecostal sparks that were lit by them continued to spread throughout the known world. In this first installment, the reader will learn how Jesus and the apostles established the concept of the Holy Spirit's abiding presence in the church laying the groundwork for a Christian initiation that included salvation and Spirit baptism. The reader will see how spiritual gifts operated through the twelve apostles as they spread Christianity into the known world. How bold witnesses, supernatural signs, and practical love resulted in massive expansion of the early church despite extreme persecution. How Montanism tried to revive the church from moral decay through strict living and prophetical gifts before it was rejected. How Emperor Constantine I reunited the Roman Empire under a new Christian-friendly regime. How the new state-run churches, overrun with sin, caused many to flee to the wilderness resulting in another intense spiritual revival. How the Middle Ages featured the mass conversion of much of northern Europe through miracle-working missionary monks, followed by a period of great jubilation, mystical faith, and charismatic revivals, and ending with the incredible healing ministry of Vincent Ferrer.
