Book Synopsis Church is More than Bodies, Bucks, and Bricks by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book Church is More than Bodies, Bucks, and Bricks written by Jeremy Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people think of church as a place and time where people gather, a way for ministry money to be given and spent, and a building in which people regularly meet on Sunday mornings. In this book, Jeremy Myers shows that church is more than bodies, bucks, and bricks. Church is the people of God who follow Jesus into the world, and we can be the church no matter how many people we are with, no matter the size of our church budget, and regardless of whether we have a church building or not. By abandoning our emphasis on more people, bigger budgets, and newer buildings, we may actually liberate the church to better follow Jesus into the world.

Book Synopsis Dying to Religion and Empire by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book Dying to Religion and Empire written by Jeremy Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Christianity exist without religious rites or legal rights? Are baptism and communion required for the church to exist? What about the freedom of religion and the right to assemble? Building on what he has written in other volumes of the “Close Your Church for Good” series, Jeremy Myers argues that our traditions of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and our dependence on the legal rights from the government, have actually hindered the growth and development of the church. Dying to Religion and Empire is a call to leave behind the comfortable religion we know and follow Jesus into the uncertain and wild ways of radical discipleship. To rise and live in the reality of God’s Kingdom, we must first die to religion and empire. This revised and updated book now includes discussion questions, perfect for a small group setting.

Book Synopsis The Atonement of God by : J. D. Myers
Download or read book The Atonement of God written by J. D. Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No, Jesus did not die to purchase forgiveness from God or so that God could love you once again. God has always loved and always forgiven you for all your sins. By reading this book, you will learn why Jesus died, and what His death means. In the process, you will learn to see God, Scripture, yourself, and humanity in a whole new light. Hopefully, you will also learn to live in a whole new way. The book begins with a short explanation of the various views of the atonement, including an explanation and defense of the "Non-Violent View" of the atonement. This view argues that God did not need or demand the death of Jesus in order to forgive sins. In fact, God has never been angry with us at all, but has always loved and always forgiven. Following this explanation of the atonement, J. D. Myers takes you on a journey through 10 areas of theology which are radically changed and transformed by the Non-Violent view of the atonement. The ten areas that you will understand in a whole new way are: 1. The Life of Jesus Christ 2. God 3. Scripture 4. Sacrifice 5. Humanity 6. Sin 7. Forgiveness 8. Justice 9. Violence 10. Peace Read this book, and let your life and theology look more and more like Jesus Christ!

Book Synopsis Nothing but the Blood of Jesus by : J. D. Myers
Download or read book Nothing but the Blood of Jesus written by J. D. Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the Bible so violent and bloody? How can God's behavior in the Old Testament be reconciled with that of Jesus in the New? Do you find yourself trying to rationalize God's violent demeanor in the Bible to unbelievers or even to yourself? Does it seem disconcerting that God tells us not to kill others but He then takes part in some of the bloodiest wars and vindictive genocides in history? The answer to all such questions is found in Jesus on the cross. By focusing your eyes on Jesus Christ and Him crucified, you come to understand that God was never angry at human sinners, and that no blood sacrifice was ever needed to purchase God's love, forgiveness, grace, and mercy. In Nothing but the Blood of Jesus, J. D. Myers shows how the death of Jesus on the cross reveals the truth about the five concepts of sin, law, sacrifice, scapegoating, and bloodshed. After carefully defining each, this book shows how these definitions provide clarity on numerous biblical texts. If you have ever wanted to see God in the light of Jesus, seek no further. J. D. Myers masterfully reveals the truth of who God is, as well as the missing pieces you have been searching for in order to truly understand what is written in the Bible. You will also gain insight into the true plight of humanity and what Jesus came to rescue and deliver us from. Read this book. You will not be disappointed.
Book Synopsis The Death and Resurrection of the Church by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book The Death and Resurrection of the Church written by Jeremy Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if true church growth begins by allowing the church to die? In The Death and Resurrection of the Church, Jeremy Myers proposes that most modern church growth practices are built on faulty premises. Some of these are even rooted in the false promises that Satan offered to Jesus in the wilderness temptations. If we want the church to grow and thrive, it first needs to die to these false promises. The church must stop striving after strength, power, fame, riches, and glory, and instead follow Jesus into death. Only then will we become the church that Jesus wants. Since there can be no resurrection without death, the church must die so that it can rise again. This revised and updated book now includes discussion questions, perfect for a small group setting.

Book Synopsis Adventures in Fishing for Men by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book Adventures in Fishing for Men written by Jeremy Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does evangelism and witnessing make you uncomfortable? If so, you’re about to be set free … or maybe you’ll become even more uncomfortable. Using irony, satire, and humor, Jeremy Myers writes Adventures in Fishing for Men as an allegorical story about a man’s quest to become a world-famous fisherman—without ever catching any fish. As an allegory about evangelism, this book is not about fishing, but about fishing for men. While a few of the stories are from the author’s own life, all of the stories portray the general Christian approach to evangelism. As you read Adventures in Fishing for Men, you will see yourself in many of the stories, and will either be set free from some of the strange methods of modern evangelistic practices, or you will become upset at how your cherished traditions are being portrayed. But these were the two ways people responded to the parables of Jesus as well. The nameless fisherman of this book serves as a mirror to all who read of his adventures, shining a light on how far Christianity has strayed from the example set by Jesus. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! lism
Book Synopsis Put Service Back into the Church Service by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book Put Service Back into the Church Service written by Jeremy Myers and published by Redeeming Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches around the world are trying to revitalize their church services. There is almost nothing they will not try. Some embark on multi-million dollar building campaigns while others sell their buildings to plant home churches. Some hire celebrity pastors to attract crowds of people, while others hire no clergy so that there can be open sharing in the service. Yet despite everything churches have tried, few focus much time, money, or energy on the one thing that churches are supposed to be doing: loving and serving others like Jesus. Put Service Back into the Church Service challenges readers to follow a few simple principles and put a few ideas into practice which will help churches of all types and sizes make serving others the primary emphasis of a church service. This revised and updated book now includes discussion questions, perfect for a small group setting.

Book Synopsis Following Jesus by : Phillip C. Thrailkill
Download or read book Following Jesus written by Phillip C. Thrailkill and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two questions are braided together in Luke’s Gospel. Who is Jesus, and what does it mean to be his student and apprentice? The church has spent much of its intellectual energies on the first question, but not so much on the second. We are precise in our Christology and vague in our Discipleology (my new word!). Of the four biographies that open the New Testament, Luke is perhaps the best equipped to answer the question of what it means to follow Jesus along with others, and what we can expect in the process. Luke’s Gospel is dense with story after story about Jesus’s stumbling, goofy, persistent disciples. And his second volume—Acts—continues the tale. There is a deep continuity, as Luke teaches, between Jesus’s original disciples and the ones who later declared their allegiance to him after his resurrection. We walk in the footsteps of pioneers in this new way of living with a Jesus who is always near but just beyond sight. The aim of this book is to plunder the fruits of New Testament scholarship, especially the tools of rhetorical and narrative criticism, to highlight what an incredible adventure came with the call to follow me.
Book Synopsis Cruciform Pastoral Leadership by : Jeremy Myers
Download or read book Cruciform Pastoral Leadership written by Jeremy Myers and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you lead the church as Jesus wants? One of the key problems in pastoral leadership today is that few people truly understand what leadership looks like, how leaders become leaders, and what leaders are supposed to do with their leadership position. This book shows that true pastoral leadership begins at the top with the pastor, and the best way for a pastor to lead is to show the church what it looks like to follow Jesus into servanthood and death. Pastors who lead the church like Jesus will not lead the church on the upward path toward prominence and popularity, but instead onto the downward path of service and obscurity. Cruciform pastoral leadership follows Jesus into death and calls others onto the same path. Understanding this will be of immense help to pastors as they seek to lead the church by leaving the church, preach a sermon by being a sermon, show doctrine by living it, and praying more effectively by answering their own prayers. When we pastor in this way, we will truly be pastoring and shepherding the church like Jesus. We will show the church how to follow Jesus into service and sacrifice for the world.
