Download or read book Nine Marks of a Healthy Church 3rd Edition written by Mark Dever and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition and featuring a new foreword by New York Times best-selling author David Platt, pastor Mark Dever’s classic book is not an instruction manual for church growth. Rather, it is a wise pastor’s recommendation for how to assess the health of a church using nine crucial qualities often neglected by many of today’s congregations. Church leaders and church members alike will resonate with the principles outlined here, breathing new life and health into the church at large. In this newly revised edition, fresh arguments have been added (for example on expositional preaching, about the nature of the gospel, on complementarianism), illustrations have been updated, appendices have been changed, and cover has been improved.

Book excerpt: Why we don't see the outpouring Jesus did? How do we build a correct church? You cannot have the church of the book of Acts without the Apostles of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The reason Acts "works" is people were discipled in the ways of the Kingdom, revelation was tapped into, the Spirit was outpoured, and based on that, God was pleased to move among them. Without the Gospels, you have a form with no power, a body with no heart, a fireplace with no flames. What is the thing that the gates of hell cannot overcome? The revelation of Jesus Christ. The way of the Kingdom. The truth of Who He was. The Life that can only flow from that proper relationship. Many people are talking about "Kingdom mindedness" with little understanding of it. The Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, an eternal one, that, like the Chariots surrounding Elijah, were by nature spiritual but produced miraculous results on Earth. As it is said, we are to rule the visible world from the invisible one. It is only when we give up the soul-based life for the view of the true spirit-filled life that we are able to be a torch and a flame. We must get correct heart understanding which produces correct language regarding faith, Kingdom, and the Spirit if we are to do more than simply touch the things of heaven but live and operate amongst them.

Download or read book The Pure Gospel written by Danilo H. Gomes and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-02 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you truly know the gospel, or only what you've been told? Have you been told the whole truth? Today, we have a surprising number of people who classify themselves as Christians, but at the same time, they defend absurd ideas that are completely unbiblical, simply because they have heard the gospel without consulting the original source: the Holy Bible. Could you be one of these people? Are you sure? We urgently need to return to the pure gospel, without human additions. The PURE GOSPEL presents a comprehensive view of the gospel entirely based on the Holy Scriptures, without any questionable or dubious additions, in order to root the believer back to the source of wisdom. It narrates the journey of fallen humanity up to Christ, always based on what the Bible says, letter by letter. Discover the gospel in a way you may have never known before, from creation, through salvation, to the obligations of the Christian.
Download or read book The Pure Gospel written by Geno Pyse and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospel is "good news," but why is it good? In order to grow churches and to increase revenue, many persons have diluted the gospel message to make it more attractive and "marketable." But the true, undiluted gospel is offensive, unattractive, and even painful. For it strikes at the core of self and pride. The gospel reveals our real wretchedness and does not cater to our desire for flattery. Yet, it is through all of this that we can truly begin to understand the incredible goodness of the message; and possibly for many, to no longer be lulled into a false security. Instead, to genuinely be born again by God's amazing grace.
Download or read book Gospel Allegiance written by Matthew W. Bates and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation? Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we're missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift. Popular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith doesn't come through trust in Jesus's death on the cross alone but through allegiance to Christ the king. There is only one true gospel and one required response: allegiance. Bates ignited conversation with his successful and influential book Salvation by Allegiance Alone. Here he goes deeper while making his acclaimed teaching on salvation more accessible and experiential for believers who want to better understand and share the gospel. Gospel Allegiance includes a guide for further conversation, making it ideal for church groups, pastors, leaders, and students.

Download or read book The Yeast of Yerushalaim written by Jacob M. Van Zyl and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE YEAST OF YERUSHALAIM. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like yeast. As yeast is worked into the dough and changes its structure positively, so the gospel is dispersed into societies and changes them from the inside. To mix the yeast of the gospel into societies, Jesus sent His disciples out to make disciples of all nations: "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Jerusalem is pronounced Yerushalaim in Hebrew. In this city Jesus was crucified, raised from the dead, and ascended to heaven, and to this city He will return. In Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of believers, inspiring them to spread the gospel worldwide. The Acts and letters of the apostles show how the yeast spread throughout the Roman empire in the first century. When the yeast of Yerushalaim has done its work, Christ will return to renew heaven, earth, and Jerusalem.
Download or read book Theologies of the Gospel in Context written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many preachers and teachers of preaching talk about the gospel; few name it. Theologies of the Gospel in Context assembles a gifted group of homileticians who think that preachers need to be able to articulate the gospel not "in general," but in a certain time and place, in context. They consider what gospel sounds like for people under oppression, in capitalist economies, in neocolonial contexts, for survivors of trauma, and for disestablished mainline churches marred by racism. Preachers will appreciate these preacher/scholars' desire to articulate the gospel with clarity, especially since the term is so often left unexplained. Homileticians will see a new genre of doing their work as teachers and researchers in preaching: a vision that helps preaching see itself not just as an adjunct to exegesis or communication, but a place of doing theology. In these pages homiletics is more than technique, it is a truly theological discipline.
