Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Your Church Have a Prayer? presents a model of revitalization, transformation, and discipleship for congregations to fulfill Jesus' prayer in John 17. Your church can move from maintenance to mission, from defending current realities to living into a joyful future. The authors provide pastors and church leaders with a step-by-step planning guide that will equip them for the task of leading the church in a scripturally grounded visioning and strategic ministry planning process. "Every church has a prayer," they write. "Envisioning a promised land of discipleship, Jesus prayed his followers would live in joy and unity to the glory of God. ...Your church has a prayer for entering the promised reality for which Jesus prayed. People in your community of faith can live a vision of faith." This Leader's Guide begins with biblical examples of spiritual leadership. Brown, Murray, and Briggs offer important thoughts on choosing, equipping, and encouraging leaders to collaborate in discernment. By applying biblical principles, churches will move from inward focus to ministry. The time has come for your congregation to make intentional choices about its present and future. Live your way into transformation. As one reviewer says, "Implementing the learnings from this book will take a congregation where it has never been before. The promised land awaits." Companion resource to the 6-week study Participant's Workbook.

Download or read book Calvin vs Wesley written by Dr. Don Thorsen and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congregations are made up of people with all sorts of theologies. Pastor Mike Slaughter even says that these can stand in the way of the church’s mission of social and personal holiness. But most people do not adopt a theology on purpose, mostly they merely breathe in the prevailing cultural air. The theology "de jour" seems to be Calvinist, with its emphasis on “the elect” and “other worldly salvation.” In fact, there is so much Calvinism saturating the culture, that some do not even know there is an alternative way of thinking about their faith. They don’t know where to go to find a viable option; they don’t even know the key words to search Google. So people are left thinking like Calvinists but living with a desire to change the world, offering grace and hope to hurting people in mission and ministry—loving the least, the last, and the lost. In other words, they are living like Wesleyans. This book shows what Calvinist and Wesleyans actually believe about human responsibility, salvation, the universality of God’s grace, holy living through service, and the benefits of small group accountability--and how that connects to how people can live. Calvinists and Wesleyans are different, and by knowing the difference, people will not only see the other benefits of Wesleyan theology but will be inspired to learn more. By knowing who they are as faithful people of God, they will be motivated to reach out in mission with renewed vigor. And they won’t be obstacles to grace and holiness, but they can be better disciples and advocates for Christ through service in this world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-two short devotions based on passages from the Greek New Testament--written by some of the top Greek scholars of today.

The authors use a variety of exegetical approaches in their devotions: grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical, linguistic, etc. Some insights focus on particular words and their role in the passage, while others highlight background studies or provide a theological reading of the passage. Each devotion draws students into translating a short passage and pursuing an understanding of why this or that insight matters for their lives and ministries. Devotions on the Greek New Testament encourages professors, students, and pastors alike to continue to use their Greek Bibles beyond their seminary years. Celebrated contributors include: Scot McKnight Daniel B. Wallace Craig L. Blomberg Mark Strauss William D. Mounce Devotions on the Greek New Testament can be used as a weekly personal devotional or as a supplemental resource throughout a semester or sequence of courses.
