Download or read book Defining The Call written by Daniel Krebs and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining the Call explores the question, "How do you know if God is calling you or someone you love to ministry?" Is there a clear distinction between believers who are set apart for ministry compared to those called to a more secular direction of service?In this book, Daniel looks at the unique character traits and giftings that individuals with a ministerial calling have, as well as the spiritual journey that each of them must take in order to identify possible weaknesses.In doing so, Daniel looks at three of the familiar patriarchs of the Older Testament: Joseph, Moses and David, and discusses some of the trials they had to face and what lessons they learned in order to become the great Biblical leaders we've come to honor and love.In studying these men's lives, one will discover that the very tests and trials that they endured are no different for those who have a calling to ministry."From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48

Download or read book Kingdom Calling written by The Faith and Order Commission and published by Church House Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kingdom Calling offers a compelling theological grounding for the vocation, ministry and discipleship of the whole people of God. Building creatively on previous studies, it challenges all of us to change so that the whole church can serve the whole mission of God in the whole of life. Kingdom Calling provides a thorough diagnosis of the theological factors that have prevented such a vision being realised over previous decades. These factors are embedded in the social realities of our everyday life and in the sometimes hidden assumptions that shape our thinking in the church. By setting out a sustained proposal for the renewal of our theological imagination, the report points the way to address some deep running fault lines in our common life. Written in an accessible style, Kingdom Calling looks in turn at the vocation, ministry and discipleship of all God’s people, asking what kind of theological thinking and imagining might most help us to flourish together. It affirms and celebrates the vital lay and ordained ministry roles that support the church in God’s mission, and it identifies changes in practice that can better foster the vocation, ministry and discipleship of the whole people of God.

Download or read book Walking in the Prophetic Anointing written by Latoya Hewitt Panton and published by Palmetto Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking in the Prophetic Anointing is not just a catch phrase or a magic potion that is poured on you. In fact, it is constantly living in the presence of God, so that you will be able to fulfill God's call and purpose on your life. Walking in the Prophet Anointing also does not mean that you will not experience problems. On the contrary, you will encounter battles, after battles in your life. David who was anointed to be the next king of Israel had many close calls with death despite him being anointed by God. Despite the challenges we face in our lives; God still expect us to fulfill the mandate that he has given us. Walking in the prophetic anointing also requires us to live a life of consecration, prayer and fasting, so we can maintain the presence of God in our lives. Failure to do this will result in us not being able to accomplish the purpose for which we were created. I am often reminded of Luke 4:18, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." Therefore, let us continue to walk in the prophetic anointing so that we will be able to fulfill our calling through Christ Jesus.

Download or read book The 6 Seasons of Calling written by Brian Sanders and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you don’t have a calling from God . . . but callings? Often we think of our calling as a singular moment of divine purpose revealed to us in young adulthood and static for the rest of our lives. But consider how God usually works. He created the cosmos in six successive days. Might He not also have six seasons of calling for the lives of His people? In The 6 Seasons of Calling, Brian Sanders helps you view your calling as something ongoing and dynamic. Because your calling is rooted in your relationship with God and your perception of His voice, it isn’t a static or one-time experience. Of course, your calling doesn’t constantly shift and change. Yet God has ordained six basic seasons as your life unfolds: Childhood – the season of bonding Adolescence – the season of learning Early Career – the season of serving Mid-Career – the season of creating Late Career – the season of giving Transition – the season of leaving Instead of wandering aimlessly through life, let the six seasons of calling provide structure for your development. Locate yourself in this sequence. Live mindfully in each season. Learn from its lessons. Look for what might be next. And remember . . . only at the end of your life will you see why each season was valuable and not to be rushed.

Download or read book Christians on the Job written by David Goetsch and published by Salem Books. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.

Download or read book Sacred Pace written by Terry Looper and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
