Book Synopsis Great Commission, Great Confusion, or Great Confession? by : Lucas V. Woodford
Download or read book Great Commission, Great Confusion, or Great Confession? written by Lucas V. Woodford and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great debate going on in the church today. It centers on one question: "What is the mission of the church?" From culturally relevant, emerging congregations to strategic methods of organization and outreach, many claim they have the answer. They say the mission must become "missional." Yet the churches of North America continue to struggle. Uncertainty is growing. "What does it really mean to be 'missional'"? Competing claims abound. "Get the message out!" "Get the message right!" Great confusion has set in, particularly in the postmodern North American church. The Gospel is getting lost. Yet, throughout the ages, the creedal confession of the Holy Christian Church has carried her through uncertainty and struggle. The Apostles' Creed has steadied and stayed the mission of the church for centuries. It centers on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit--the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. This book celebrates the historic mission of the Holy Christian Church, and it invites the North American church to do the same.
Book Synopsis Church Leadership & Strategy by : Harold L. Senkbeil
Download or read book Church Leadership & Strategy written by Harold L. Senkbeil and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ's sheep need shepherding. That's where you come in. With more than 60 years of ministry between them, Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford have come to understand that everything in ministry—even administration, leadership, and planning—revolves around the ancient tradition of the care of souls. Pastors are entrusted with the care of a flock by the Good Shepherd and are called to be faithful to this task. But pastoring seems to be getting more and more difficult. Based on a sound theological framework, Senkbeil and Woodford present a set of practical tools for church leadership and strategy. Calling on their vast experience, they encourage pastors to protect, guide, and feed their flock as Jesus would, bridging the eternal wisdom of the word of God with the everyday practicality of hands-on leadership.
Book Synopsis New Life in the Risen Christ by : Jonathan A. Powers
Download or read book New Life in the Risen Christ written by Jonathan A. Powers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baptism is a foundational rite and sacrament of the church. Over the centuries, the significance of baptism for Christian life and faith has been confirmed by the church, but baptism remains a highly controversial topic. Numerous disagreements exist between denominations and faith traditions—including the various descendants of the original Methodist movement—over the doctrine and practice of baptism. Who can be baptized? Why is baptism done? What does the rite mean? New Life in the Risen Christ: A Wesleyan Theology of Baptism seeks to address confusion over baptism and offer a coherent treatment of the sacrament from a Wesleyan theological perspective. Distinguished scholars from around the world are brought together in this volume to examine the writings of John Wesley and offer scholarly reflections on topics related to the sacrament of baptism. Their work is an invitation to remember and be thankful for baptism as the sign of divine grace that initiates Christians into a new reality: life in the risen Christ.
Download or read book Take Courage written by Mark A. Pierson and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take Courage is a collection of essays, written by pastors and professors, about the care and cure of souls in the 21st century. As spiritual physicians, pastors are called to diagnose and treat all those suffering with the disease of sin. This noble task requires much from these undershepherds who are placed over Christ's flock. Yet the Good Shepherd himself has provided the effective tools of this healing art: the life-giving word and sacraments. Pastors, then, specialize in applying the medicine of forgiveness and bringing comfort to broken consciences. Collectively, these essays teach and expound upon this theme. This helpful book honors the 45 years of faithful service given by one such undershepherd, Harold L. Senkbeil. As a pastor, seminary professor, author, speaker, husband, father, and the executive director of DOXOLOGY, Senkbeil has consistently provided competent treatment for both laity and pastors by distributing the forgiveness won by Jesus on the cross.

Book Synopsis Great Commission (Classic Reprint) by : E. A. Kilbourne
Download or read book Great Commission (Classic Reprint) written by E. A. Kilbourne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Commission Individual responsibility cannot be shifted upon the shoulders Of some unreliable leader, for the command GO ye, was given to individual disciples, and every man must answer for himself. It is human to Shirk responsibility, and to drift into a lethargy concerning the unevangelized millions; arguing with ones' self that others are better fitted, others are especially called etc., etc. But His GO ye was not addressed to others Ye are the one He is speaking to to-day. Others have disobeyed, and the judgment day will reveal the awful consequences. What is important for us to understand is, that this generation of heathen will face this generation of disciples on that great day and while we will not be responsible for those Of any previous generations, who died without the knowledge of salvation, it is certain that face to face we shall be brought at the judgment, with those neglected ones Of our own generation. We must be sure that our skirts are clear Of their blood, beloved; and certain it is that there will have to be a great awakening in the church and a tremendous realization of the responsibilities, before the black wings Of ih difierence will be raised from Off a great multitude who call themselves followers of Jesus. Each generation of disciples has a debt to pay to its generation Of unsaved people of whatever nation or color, and while failure to accomplish its mission has marked each successive generation since the days of the early church, our individual responsibility has not lessened in the slightest degree, for the Great Commission has not been withdrawn or cancelled.

Book Synopsis Erasmus, the Anabaptists, and the Great Commission by : Abraham Friesen
Download or read book Erasmus, the Anabaptists, and the Great Commission written by Abraham Friesen and published by William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars have pointed to the influence of Erasmus on the early Swiss Anabaptists and Menno Simons. Yet the extent of this influence has never been firmly established. This volume uses new research data and argumentation to build a more convincing case for the early Anabaptist movement's dependence on Erasmus's thought. Abraham Friesen traces the intellectual origins of both Swiss Anabaptism and Menno Simons to the writings of Erasmus - especially to Erasmus's unique interpretation of Christ's Great Commission as presented in his famous paraphrases of Matthew and Acts - and shows the impact that Erasmus ultimately had on the form and content of Anabaptist thought.

Book Synopsis What Is the Mission of the Church? by : Kevin DeYoung
Download or read book What Is the Mission of the Church? written by Kevin DeYoung and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social justice and mission are hot topics today: there's a wonderful resurgence of motivated Christians passionate about spreading the gospel and caring for the needs of others. But in our zeal to get sharing and serving, many are unclear on gospel and mission. Yes, we are called to spend ourselves for the sake of others, but what is the church's unique priority as it engages the world? DeYoung and Gilbert write to help Christians "articulate and live out their views on the mission of the church in ways that are theologically faithful, exegetically careful, and personally sustainable." Looking at the Bible's teaching on evangelism, social justice, and shalom, they explore the what, why, and how of the church's mission. From defining "mission", to examining key passages on social justice and their application, to setting our efforts in the context of God's rule, DeYoung and Gilbert bring a wise, studied perspective to the missional conversation. Readers in all spheres of ministry will grow in their understanding of the mission of the church and gain a renewed sense of urgency for Jesus' call to preach the Word and make disciples.
Book Synopsis A Church Called Tov by : Scot McKnight
Download or read book A Church Called Tov written by Scot McKnight and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Scot and Laura do an amazing job of teaching us what a good church looks like.” —Beth Moore What is the way forward for the church? Tragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches—from Willow Creek to Harvest, from Southern Baptist pastors to Sovereign Grace churches. Respected author and theologian Scot McKnight and former Willow Creek member Laura Barringer wrote this book to paint a pathway forward for the church. We need a better way. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuses of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses occur most frequently when Christians neglect to create a culture that resists abuse and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth. How do we keep these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us from where we are today to where we ought to be as the body of Christ. That map is in a mysterious and beautiful little Hebrew word in Scripture that we translate “good,” the word tov. In this book, McKnight and Barringer explore the concept of tov—unpacking its richness and how it can help Christians and churches rise up to fulfill their true calling as imitators of Jesus.
