Thousands of pastors and leaders around the world have found this paradigm helpful in organizing the ministry and mission of the local church. This book and the free diagnostic tool it presents are most useful if accompanied by a healthy process of conversations. With such a process, led by the Spirit, this book can help you discern a preferred future for your community of faith. Koster and Wagenveld write: "A healthy community of faith is rooted first of all in the character and nature of God. It understands its mission and purpose in the world and organizes its life and work to be faithful and effective in its context. None of these vital signs stands alone. It is a combination of factors that together make up a faithful and fruitful organism, the living Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no magic in the number ten, but for the teaching purposes it has worked quite well in different cultural contexts in providing ideas and a language for discussing important issues in congregational life and mission." The intended audience for this book is any pastor, leader, or church member who is interest in having healthy conversations with others to strengthen the local church.

Book excerpt: A practical churchgoer's guide.In the scramble of recruitment and the incorporation of new ideas, many churches have lost their way. The sense of community and purpose that is so key to a church has lost its firm footing, and many churches are either floundering or merely collapsing.It is this phenomenon and problem that Johnson sets out to fix in his new book, Taking the Pulse of Leadership in YOUR Church. Half-critique, half-guide, Johnson goes to great lengths to expose and rectify this growing epidemic. Included in this guide are directions on how to assess your own in-church problems, a toolkit on how to fix the issues, and a roadmap on how to plan for a better future.This book is a must have for all aspiring or flailing church communities, and is a primer on the value of social research in a broader spectrum of contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all churches and ministries consider themselves dedicated to evangelism, and many explicitly include outreach in their mission statements. But few are actually bearing fruit. Kevin Harney diagnoses this problem and offers guidance for multiplying the outreach impact of churches. Organic Outreach for Churches provides direction for local congregations to weave evangelism into the fabric of the church. Commitment to the Great Commission is not simply about sending money and prayers to missions or holding occasional events to reach out (although these things are good). Organic outreach happens when evangelistic vision and action become the domain of every ministry and the commitment of every person in the congregation. This will not happen accidentally. There is huge spiritual and practical resistance to such changes. But the only way evangelism will become an organic part of a church is when every leader and each member is gripped by a commitment to proclaiming the gospel. This book is a roadmap for pastors and leaders who wish to infuse evangelistic passion into every aspect of their church's life.

Download or read book Dear Church written by Lenny Duncan and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lenny Duncan is the unlikeliest of pastors. Formerly incarcerated, he is now a black preacher in the whitest denomination in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Shifting demographics and shrinking congregations make all the headlines, but Duncan sees something else at work--drawing a direct line between the church's lack of diversity and the church's lack of vitality. The problems the ELCA faces are theological, not sociological. But so are the answers. Part manifesto, part confession, and all love letter, Dear Church offers a bold new vision for the future of Duncan's denomination and the broader mainline Christian community of faith. Dear Church rejects the narrative of church decline and calls everyone--leaders and laity alike--to the front lines of the churchÂs renewal through racial equality and justice. It is time for the church to rise up, dust itself off, and take on forces of this world that act against God: whiteness, misogyny, nationalism, homophobia, and economic injustice. Duncan gives a blueprint for the way forward and urges us to follow in the revolutionary path of Jesus.

Book excerpt: Contemporary life is leaving us frazzled, overwhelmed, and out of sorts. Our life's rhythm is often borrowed from the pace of life around us. Humans have created such a loud, fast tempo of perfection and production that we often forget--if we ever knew it at all--the rhythms designed for our well-being. In The Sacred Pulse, pastor and author April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sacred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms--including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays--that are both sustainable and sustaining. Everyday acts like mealtime and shopping, and sporadic rhythms like the occasional snow day: reclaiming these patterns can remind us of the holy movement of God in the world. In a world of hustle and bravado, silencing the noise takes practice. The Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all of the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulse of a Nation... Is the American Church in trouble? Many Christian leaders in other countries are deeply concerned for the American Church. They cannot understand why we do not see what is happening in our church culture more clearly and do something about it. Has the American Church abandoned many of the fundamental principles that were imparted to them? This growing global concern for the American Church did not start recently. Over three decades ago, the late David Watson, a Christian leader from Great Britain, predicted that by the close of the twentieth century Christianity in the West would probably be too self-indulgent to be a global factor. Sound the Alarm... Is cultural relativity really our problem? It is time for the true body of Christ to rise up and no longer give in to being a product or participant of our current moral declining society. It is time for a CULTURAL WAR! It is time for the Church to be unwavering in its commitment to the true faith. Anything less will leave the American Church in a state of dying a slow, costly death. Confronting a Post-Christian Culture What will it take? Dr. Jerry Williamson has put his finger on the "pulse" of the Western Church. His diagnosis is accurate, well articulated, and documented. The cure is equally clear and achievable if the Church has the discipline and will to apply his prescription. DON'T READ THIS BOOK ... unless you want to be convicted, challenged, and changed! Dr. Williamson is a modern day prophet crying in a secular and religious wilderness. Our response to his message will determine the future of our nation. -Dr. Charles Travis, general secretary, Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches and president, Aidan University DR. JERRY WILLIAMSON is president of GO TO NATIONS, a worldwide missions sending agency, and is well-known for his passionate love for God's Church and for the global harvest. He ministers to pastors and church leaders around the world adding value and effectiveness to their ministries. DR. WILLIAMSON is greatly appreciated for his down-to-earth teaching style and his ability to articulate truth in a clear and concise way

This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character is doing what is right when no one else is looking. Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. Never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Quantity is what you count; quality is what you count on. Very few burdens are heavy if everyone lifts. These are just a few of the quotations that I have included in this book. It is a culmination of over four decades of gathering quotes and sayings, noticing church and marquee signs and bumper stickers and, most recently, researching on the Internet. In the preface for this book, I went through and listed quotes that meant a lot to me, but as I look back, I realize that they all mean something to me. I hope that you can use them for motivation, reflection, and inspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the unique challenges faced by secondary Church leaders, offering practical advice on fulfilling and successful service. Church leaders who hold second chair positions are under tremendous pressure. They are expected to do their jobs and provide leadership while deferring to the top leader’s decisions and preferences. It's a constant balancing act where the challenges often go unrecognized. Leading from the Second Chair offers an invaluable resource to leaders who serve in second (and third or fourth) chair roles, enabling them to become more productive, proactive, and fulfilled. Mike Bonem and Roger Patterson share their own and others' experiences of failure and success in these vital roles. They offer support and practical advice for reshaping the way second chair leaders can serve well and improve the overall performance of their church or organization. Leading from the Second Chair equips readers with the positive attitudes, skills, and strategies needed to become powerful leaders who will survive and thrive in God's service.
