Download or read book Foundations written by Casey M Sabella and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a secret to growing strong in faith? Yes. Are you troubled by Christians who preach one way but live another? Does the Bible contain simple principles to ensure your life never collapses under the strains of everyday life? Author and pastor Casey Sabella has served in pastoral ministry for over forty years, knowing fellow believers' heartache who start strong but end poorly. Casey has condensed the principles of Hebrews 6:1,2 into a guide that will help you understand and become grounded in the same faith possessed by first-century believers. You'll discover why so many mistake mental assent for genuine repentance. What does it mean to have faith in God? Most confuse faith with hope and become disappointed. Is water baptism essential to salvation? What about infant baptism? Is it valid? Does belonging to a church matter, or can we serve God without joining a local gathering of believers? What is the baptism with the Holy Spirit? Are all Christians baptized with the Holy Spirit? Is speaking with tongues for today? What about physical healing? Why is laying on of hands a foundation stone? Is there a real hell? What about the resurrection? These are many of the questions Casey asks and answers while inviting you to investigate these truths yourself. Drawing from over four decades in pastoral ministry, Casey will help you take crucial steps towards lifelong spiritual transformation. Building on the foundation laid out for us in scripture, you will be empowered to meet any challenge life throws your way. Foundations is designed for individuals or groups who want to get serious about their relationship with God. Each chapter is followed by practical questions to increase understanding and use individually or in a small group study. God destines every Christ-follower to become a spiritual powerhouse and resource to others. If you're tired of a life governed by circumstances, I can help you experience lasting change.

Book Synopsis Biblical Church Growth by : Gary L. McIntosh
Download or read book Biblical Church Growth written by Gary L. McIntosh and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every pastor wants to have a vibrant, dynamic church. There are many popular models for church growth based on outstanding churches led by outstanding pastors. But unfortunately, specific models are temporary and go out of style quickly. Author Gary McIntosh explores the biblical principles for church growth and applies them to today's culture. Instead of concentrating on the ephemeral how of church growth, he focuses on the unchanging why. McIntosh defines church growth as "all that is involved in bringing men and women who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ into fellowship with him and into responsible church membership." In other words, church growth is effective evangelism, not a methodology for increasing membership. According to Biblical Church Growth, growing churches always evidence a desire to fulfill the Great Commission by cooperating with God in building a faithful church. Using personal stories and current statistics as well as numerous biblical examples, the author sets forth ten basic principles that provide an eternal foundation for helping any church-large or small-achieve lasting vitality and growth.
Book Synopsis Movement Dynamics by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book Movement Dynamics written by Timothy Keller and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our goal as Christians and Christian ministers is never simply to build our own tribe. Instead, we seek the peace and prosperity of the city or community in which we are placed, through a gospel movement led by the Holy Spirit. Movements like these do not follow a “bounded-set” approach in which you only work with others who can sign off on nearly all your distinctive beliefs and practices. Rather it follows a “centered-set” orientation in which you work most closely with those who face with you toward the same center. That center is a classic, orthodox understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, a common mission to reach and serve your city, and a commitment to have a generous, Christ-focused posture toward people who disagree with you. It’s a type of movement that is missional, integrative, and dynamic. This eBook contains the eighth part of Center Church, “Movement Dynamics.” In it, Keller discusses what it means to faithfully connect the gospel with the culture and the need to develop intentional movements of churches planting new churches that faithfully proclaim God’s truth and serve their communities.
