Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of the church, transformation, renewal, and the process of coming-to-faith rely on the symbolic efficacy of speech, where God is encountered as a word. The Sacramentality of Preaching examines the thought of Louis-Marie Chauvet and incorporates it into contemporary homiletical theory in order to bolster and renew Christian proclamation that has an intentionally sacramental character. Liturgical preachers will find practical pathways, frameworks, and common language through the use of this innovative sacramentology.

Download or read book Our Godly Sexual Beings written by Donna Mack with Kristi Miller and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Godly Sexual Beings explores scripture and other ancient texts to unveil one of humanity's great mysteries--God's purpose for designing our Godly sexual beings. After thirty years of committed research and study, Donna Mack perceived an essential missing link from the age-old battle of God vs. Satan. While other books have attempted to discuss human sexuality, none have done so with as many biblical and scholarly-backed references as Our Godly Sexual Beings. One fascinating revelation in scripture is just how sacred human sexuality exists for God. The Bible sings with this truth, and Donna dives into this mystery to reveal the greatest love story ever told! With the help of over 1,300 references, Donna uncovers God's design for sex and Satan's influence that morphed this gift into a lie of lust. This book is full of many revelations and truths that will allow the reader to experience freedom from sexual sin, shame, and bondage.

Book excerpt: The ELCA Division for Congregational Ministries and Augsburg Fortress Publishers are proud to continue their work on Renewing Worship, the multi-year program to develop basic Lutheran worship materials for the new century. Since 1978, the Lutheran Book of Worship has been the primary English language worship resource for many Lutherans throughout the world. In a process that includes numerous expert consultations, congregational feedback, and input from all branches of the church, Renewing Worship will provide the means to develop worship materials that reflect the diversity, vitality, and growth of the Lutheran Church today. Each year several volumes of provisional Renewing Worship material will appear, presenting to the church at large worship ideas for use and evaluation. A feedback form will be included in every volume, so input can be easily provided. Additionally, the program's website (www.renewingworship.org) will continue to provide background, overview, evaluation forms, and sample content for all available material, throughout the process. Based upon The Use of the Means of Grace, this volume will provide foundational principles in the areas of language, music, preaching, and worship space, for study and response throughout the church.

Download or read book Evangelical Sacramental and Pentecostal written by Gordon T. Smith and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelical. Sacramental. Pentecostal. Christian communities tend to identify with one of these labels over the other two. Evangelical churches emphasize the importance of Scripture and preaching. Sacramental churches emphasize the importance of the eucharistic table. And pentecostal churches emphasize the immediate presence and power of the Holy Spirit. But must we choose between them? Could the church be all three? Drawing on his reading of the New Testament, the witness of Christian history, and years of experience in Christian ministry and leadership, Gordon T. Smith argues that the church not only can be all three, but in fact must be all three in order to truly be the church. As the church navigates the unique global challenges of pluralism, secularism, and fundamentalism, the need for an integrated vision of the community as evangelical, sacramental, and pentecostal becomes ever more pressing. If Jesus and the apostles saw no tension between these characteristics, why should we?

Download or read book Preaching and Praying as Though God Matters written by Ronald P. Byars and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We in mainline churches are uneasy, maybe even scared. Why are our voices not heard? After all, we are the reasonable Christians, the updated Christians, the respectable ones who have dominated the cultural landscape since colonial times. This book presumes that trying to reverse the loss of our traditional status in society is both futile and beside the point. What's called for when we find ourselves in a state of crisis is to rediscover the big picture, the Christian hope projected on a large screen. This requires the courage to revisit the sources from which all Christian hope springs, rediscovering their life-giving power. That power rises from the counterintuitive affirmations of the gospel represented in Christ's incarnation; his healing the afflicted; his raising the dead; his vulnerability; his cross, resurrection, and "universal restoration" (Acts 3:21). Preaching and worship that embodies and lifts up the hard parts, the life-giving parts, is neither fundamentalist nor an exercise in nostalgia. It is rather evidence of confidence in the triune God who makes the unknowable known. The Good Shepherd promised: "My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). And when they do, they will.
