Download or read book Let the Nations be Glad written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Announcing the Kingdom provides a comprehensive survey of the biblical foundation of mission. It investigates the development of the kingdom of God theme in the Old Testament, describing what the concept tells us about God's mission in creation, the flood, and the covenant with Abraham. It then describes God's mission through the nation of Israel during the exodus, at Mt. Sinai, and through the kings of Israel. The book then examines God's mission as Israel is sent into exile and the stage is set for the Messiah's coming. Finally, the book considers the fulfillment of the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ and the church. It examines Jesus' parables and ministry, his proclamation of God's kingdom among the nations, and the work of the Holy Spirit through the church. Announcing the Kingdom is the product of Arthur Glasser's more than thirty years of teaching and has been used by thousands of students at Fuller Theological Seminary. Now revised by Glasser's colleagues, this study provides mission workers and students with a new understanding of their calling and its biblical foundation.

Download or read book The Gospel Project God Among Us Bible Study Book written by D. A. HORTON and published by Lifeway Church Resources. This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Among Us Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for six sessions, applicable Scripture, and individual study created for personal discipleship. As a man, Jesus--the Son of God--lived among His creation, among the works of His hands. Imagine the God of the universe walking around and talking with the people He made. What would He say? Whom would He seek? Each passage in this study teaches about discipleship through Jesus' encounters. The calling of the twelve disciples exemplifies the bedrock of discipleship, faithfully following Jesus as Savior and Lord. As Jesus taught Nicodemus, new birth comes through faith in God's son and results in transformation. The humility of John the Baptist demonstrated the joy to be found in Jesus Christ's significance and not our own. The questions and answers exchanged with the Samaritan Woman define Living Water, and the rejection of Jesus at Nazareth shows that no opposition or pain can stop Spirit-empowered ministry. Lastly, the fabled encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus confirms that Jesus has come to seek and save the lost, which makes our hearts respond with exuberant generosity. SESSION TITLES 1. Jesus Calls the Disciples--Matthew 4:17-22; 9:9-13 2. Nicodemus and the New Birth--John 3:1-21 3. Jesus and John the Baptist--John 3:22-36 4. Jesus and the Samaritan Woman--John 4:1-42 5.
