Download or read book Points of Connection written by Joshua A. Stone and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Points of Connection: Realizing the Potential for Improving the Church Membership Process Church member assimilation is key to growth for the Christian and has been particularly difficult for many churches since the recent pandemic. A highly assimilated church is a church where all members are encouraged in tangible ways in their walk with Jesus Christ as their personal Savior by embodying the great apologetic: ...but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:15-16 NASB 2020) Using a structured program evaluation, the author sought to gain insight from new church members by interviewing a cross-section of new members who had joined within a two-year period. Participants included a diverse group of church members, including younger adults, single adults, married adults, seasoned believers, and new believers, ensuring that all demographics of the church family were represented. The participants interviewed had ample time to assimilate prior to the interviews. The end goal was to determine why some members might not be assimilating well since joining the church, and to get more members on the path to discipleship and service and connection to the local body of Christ through participatory membership. The responses identified ways that the church can reach more people, increase engagement, and move people along to serving well as fully assimilated members. In a supported effort to assimilate church members well, this book will showcase a streamlined process of walking new members through the process of assimilation by helping them to connect with other believers, with church leadership, and with areas of service where they may employ their spiritual gifts. This book may serve as a guided resource for pastors, church staff members and leaders in the church as they help new members to find points of connection within the church.

Book excerpt: In We the Ekklesia, Pastor Diego Barrios has posed some very profound and thought-provoking questions. For instance: · Are we currently facing the collapse of a nation? · Is darkness taking over the whole world? And is there nothing to be done about it? · Has the American church been negligent, or even worse, ignorant of their influence on the realm of the spirit? · Are people being given an unrealistic hope for their future? He goes on to explore these additional questions: · What is the Ekklesia? Is it not the same thing as the church? · Could it be that the institutionalized church was never a part of God’s plan? · Is it possible for sincere believers to become victims of religious deception? · Can decisions in the spirit realm really affect the natural? · Is it possible to produce better results with less effort, just by operating from the heavenly realms? In this book, the author answers all these questions and many, many, more. He does so in light of the revelatory knowledge he received in his walk with the Holy Spirit. Remember, “We the people,” can be cheated, can be manipulated, or simply ignored. The truth is that nothing can be done to bring significant changes by fighting in the physical realm. Everything going on in the world today can be changed. No, it’s not the Republic, a political party, or even a beloved candidate that will bring about the needed changes and restoration. It’s you. You are part of the only entity that can change history, manifesting the supernatural Kingdom of heaven in the natural realm. Who has this power? It is we the Ekklesia! In the following chapters you will begin to understand just how important and powerful “We the Ekklesia” really are.

Download or read book A Royal Priesthood written by John A. Davies and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the portrayal of Israel as a royal-priestly nation within Exodus and against the background of biblical and ancient Near Eastern thought. Central to the work is a literary study of Exodus 19:4-6 and a demonstration of the pivotal role these verses and their main image have within Exodus. This elective and honorific designation of Yahweh's cherished people has a particular focus on the privilege of access to him in his heavenly temple. The paradigm of the royal grant of privileged status has profound implications for our understanding of the Sinai covenant.

Download or read book Exhale written by Holly Newton and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even our deepest desires realized can’t compare with the soul-rest that comes from abiding in God and His presence. We long for something more than anything or anyone in this world can fulfill. Yet striving to achieve comes almost as naturally as breathing. God’s Kingdom is the opposite. He created us for rhythms of grace and rest in His strength through the power of the Holy Spirit. We want God’s will for our lives, but when we try to work it out in our own strength, it becomes daunting. When our daily rhythms are dependent on what we can accomplish, we burn out; we give up, we fear, we lose our identity. This 90 Day Devotional is for you if you’ve ever been: Tired of doubting Tired of comparing Tired of striving Tired of fear Tired of being tired True rest isn’t found in a vacation or holiday. It can be found every single day by intentionally shifting your thoughts, mind, and heart toward the Lord.

Download or read book Ordinary People Extraordinary Royal Priests written by Dr Willie Joubert and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, God's people moved to Egypt to survive a famine, but eventually became slaves to Pharaoh. The pyramids, symbols of death and monuments to the grave, are pictures of their bondage and oppression. By grace they escaped into the wilderness toward the Promised Land. Yet many rebelled. Once in the wilderness, the food of Egypt looked good, even at the price of servitude. Years later in the Promised Land, they chose to reject God's Kingdom rule for an earthly king like Pharaoh. Their choices eventually caused them to be exiled to Assyria and later to Babylon. In time a small remnant returned through the wilderness to rebuild the broken walls and re-lay the broken foundations. These historical stories hold important messages for the Church. When the Church was birthed it walked in a freedom and with power never seen before. Ordinary people anointed by the Spirit did extraordinary things. They were willing to allow the Spirit to guide and direct their lives, and leaders led by example. Their authority came through relationship and servanthood. They were in the world, but not of the world. Then their very success overtook them, the Christian faith became the official religion of the Roman Empire and it changed the foundations. Within a short time, the Church found itself in its own Babylonian exile and outside of the Kingdom of God. What seemed like freedom after the years of persecution became bondage to the control of Levitical priests. On the surface it looked great, and many church buildings dot the landscape to this day, but God does not live in houses of brick and mortar. Underneath the surface there are many who are tired of seeking the straw to make the bricks to build the expensive earthly sanctuaries to keep the system going. Those who have spiritual eyes see that much of the effort and investment led to pyramids of power, monuments to death, and there is no life coming out of these, however well dressed and preserved. Today God is preparing to perfect the Church to be a spotless bride for his Son. He is restoring the broken foundations, calling forth a remnant to move out of exile and into freedom. He is calling forth those who will walk out of the bondage past the gate of fear and intimidation into the wilderness to meet him. He is calling a new generation of deliverers like Moses to spend time in the wilderness, learning to take care of sheep and willing to live in obscurity. He is calling out those who are tired of serving men with titles and robes, even if they have good intentions. He is calling out the No-names willing to pay the price to be perfected for the kingdom. He is calling those who have seen the truth and are not willing to be buried in the magnificent graves of ecclesiastical pyramids. God is calling his son out of Egypt! Hear his voice: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?"

Download or read book Pure Worship written by Matthew Ward and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baptists are not often thought of as leading theologians and practitioners of worship. But forgotten in history is one crucial fact: the Baptist tradition formed out of a desire to worship God purely. Early Baptists devoted immense energy to questions of worship and drew conclusions of even contemporary value. Through the seismic liturgical shifts of English society in the seventeenth century, worship was both their most galvanizing and disintegrating impulse. As time passed and terminology changed and Baptists shied away from this divisive topic, this emphasis was lost. No one today considers worship a Baptist distinctive. Pure Worship re-creates the fascinating historical context of the early years of the English Baptists. Examining many thousands of manuscript pages, Matthew Ward pieces together an entire theology of worship that not only guided the early Baptists but also attracted the attention of many elements of English Christianity. Baptist thoughts on worship were neither minor nor tangential but the very heart of what distinguished them from the rest of England. Pure Worship offers a complete reenvisioning of what it meant to be an early Baptist and reveals their overwhelming desire to be known as pure worshippers of God.
