Download or read book Ministering Without Walls written by ,Vagsta and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have the grace to live righteously. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10) When you answer the calling to step out of the traditional role of church membership to serve beyond the walls of a physical structure, it is because you understand that church is not the only way to serve people directly. As God sends you out to minister to His people, He will equip you with what you need on the journey to live as Christ Jesus and His disciples did. Don’t let fear hold you in bondage from answering His call. He has already prepared you.
Book Synopsis Love Without Walls by : Laurie Beshore
Download or read book Love Without Walls written by Laurie Beshore and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We see it all around us: Poverty. Unemployment. Crime. Hopelessness. Anger. Disenchantment. Injustice. We want to help. We want to do something. But what? Good intentions are good, but often our efforts at helping others can actually make things worse. And in many communities the church is viewed with suspicion, if not downright hostility. So how can churches effectively serve the needs of their communities in ways that communicate the love and grace of God? According to author Laurie Beshore, churches need to step up and take action, but it all begins by learning. You must get to know the people in your community and establish relationships built on mutual trust and respect. This ebook recounts the compelling twenty-five year story of how Mariner’s Church, a growing mega-church in Irvine, CA, began reaching out to their community and how they made more than their fair share of mistakes along the way. But these hard-earned lessons are now of immense value to a new generation of church leaders trying to serve their own communities that are skeptical, if not understandably suspicious, of the intentions of the 21st century church. Laced with ultra-practical teachings and transferable principles for churches and ministries of all sizes and styles, this is a book filled with potent lessons and powerful stories both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Download or read book A Hunger for God written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God - and Him alone - is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.

Download or read book Churchianity written by and published by Booktango. This book was released on with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Ronald Seaman is writing Churchianity as a solemn and compelling critique of the organized Christian Church. He highlights and explains the primary cause of most of the spiritual apathy which have characterized local churches since the Fourth Century. The root cause involves a fundamental change in church pastoral ministry which the author believes has produced disastrous spiritual results through the centuries. The author portrays the young Christian Church in its first three centuries as prospering spiritually in spite of severe persecution. These early believers met informally in homes as to nurture and disciple each other, and enthusiastically evangelized everyone they met. Understandably, Satan was not happy. To frustrate and checkmate this spiritual vitality, the Devil devised a clever strategy. He took advantage of church leaders' willful disobedience of Biblical teaching. Read Churchianity and become acquainted with Satan's strategy and its success in transforming the vigor and enthusiasm of the Early Christian into the tragedy and sadness of ""spectator Christianity"", and consider and evaluate the author’s solution for restoring lay biblical pastoral ministry in local churches.
