Book excerpt: Jesus promised that his sheep would hear and know his voice, but what does his voice sound like? How does he speak to his people today? How can the contemporary church embrace prophetic ministry in a way that will both resource discipleship and empower mission? Prophecy did not die out with the early church and remains a vitally important gift, bearing much fruit in the lives of disciples if well taught, responsibly handled, and ministered with love.

It provides a way forward for everyone who desires to hear God's voice with clarity, as well as bringing greater understanding of the role that prophets play today.

Download or read book The Shepherd and His Sheep written by Julia E. Bland and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most striking representations of Jesus in the scriptures is that of a shepherd. Based on John 10's statement that He is the Good Shepherd, this series of eight lessons teaches youngsters of Jesus' unfailing love and care (even to the point of death on the cross). Like all of her previous collections, each children's message is accompanied by a two-sided activity page -- one side that's a coloring page for younger children, and the other with numerous puzzles and activities to reinforce the lesson's theme for older children. Bland has a well-earned reputation for biblical faithfulness, creativity, and practicality. Busy pastors and teachers have found her ready-to-use materials just what they need for their children's time -- we know you'll love her latest release! The Shepherd And His Sheep is insightful, simple, and creative. But most important is the depth of spirituality that is presented which will engage the mind and heart of a child. Although specifically designed with children in mind, Bland's messages recover the significance of Jesus' statement that unless we come to him as a child, we will miss the kingdom of God. This collection of sermons and activities will call the child in each one of us to be in the presence of the Good Shepherd. Steven M. Marsh Dean of Chapel and Spiritual Formation Assistant Professor of Religion and Philosophy Sterling College During nearly 50 years as a pastor's wife, Julia Bland has taught church groups of all ages from children through senior adults. She has been active in United Methodist Women and served as district chairperson of Global Concerns as well as Publicity and Public Relations.

Download or read book They Smell Like Sheep written by Dr. Lynn Anderson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the biblical models of shepherding, mentoring, and equipping, They Smell Like Sheep unlocks the secrets of leadership for anyone. What kind of leadership will effectively lead the church into the morally turbulent twenty-first century? The same kind of leadership that led it through the morally and politically chaotic first century. Shepherding. This is the kind of leadership Jesus used, and this is the kind of leadership that will take his church where he wants it to go. While the term "shepherd" produces warm images of love, care, and tenderness, it also describes a form of leadership that is perilously protective, dangerous, dirty, and smelly. "Shepherd" is something that every follower of Christ, the Good Shepherd, is called to become. Lynn Anderson, in this important book, leads us backwards in time to discover and identify the biblical leader for the future needs of the Christian community. Anderson's deep dig for truth will concern, convict, and confront us about where leadership has been, and will set a new standard for where the future leader must go.

God uses each part of the human body as a unique teaching tool. Weller explains how Gods intricate design uses the human body to teach us invaluable life and spiritual lessons. The psalmist tells us we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The human body is one of Gods most glorious word pictures. As you read Spiritual Lessons from the Body, you will see in each aspect of Gods artwork lessons about life contained within the physical reality of the human body.

Read it, and you will discover Gods character in a new and fresh way. Youll gain a deeper understanding of Gods mind, His heart, and the way He is working in your life. Rev.
