The Master's Plan for the Church
Author: John MacArthur
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802480179
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that, claims John MacArthur, the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants. Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
"He Restores.""is a prophetic statement to fallen leaders, in particular, and to the church at-large.Today some of our greatest leaders have fallen to sin and failure. Often, they live with little expectation of fulfilling their original purpose.Many of them are hopeless because we (the church) have not been sure that we could, or should, offer them hope of full restoration. In the past the church has not had great faith for the full restoration of her leaders, but that day is changing.As you read through these pages, you will discover that the Lord does have faith for His leaders to be restored from the most gruesome failures, to bring them back to effective, cutting-edge, leadership." "Many lay strewn along the pathway.for lack of a biblical strategy for restoration.Bill Baldwin has captured such a strategy in this book."He Restores" is both a testament of Bill's life and a textbook for others who are in pursuit of a new beginning." - Don Atkin, Kingdomquest International Ministries

Gospel Wakefulness (Foreword by Ray Ortlund)
Author: Jared C. Wilson
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433526395
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
We may know the gospel. We may believe it—even proclaim it. But we also may assume the gospel and become lethargic. In this book Jared Wilson seeks to answer the central question, how do we experience and present the gospel in a fresh, nonroutine way in order to prevent ourselves and others from becoming numb? His answer may be surprising: "by routinely presenting the unchanging gospel in a way that does justice to its earth-shaking announcement." We don't excite and awaken people to the glorious truths of the gospel by spicing up our worship services or through cutting-edge, dramatic rhetoric, but by passionately and faithfully proclaiming the same truths we have already been given in Scripture. Wilson's book will stir churches to live out the power of the gospel with a fervent, genuine zeal. After an explanation of the term "gospel wakefulness," Wilson unpacks implications for worship, hyper-spirituality, godly habits, and sanctification, as well as other aspects of church life. Pastors, church leaders, and all in ministry, especially those who are tired or discouraged, will be uplifted, emboldened, and empowered by this book.

The Prodigal Church
Author: Jared C. Wilson
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433544644
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Pastors want to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus. However, we've too often assumed this requires loud music, flashy lights, and skinny jeans. In this gentle manifesto, Jared Wilson—a pastor who knows what it's like to serve in a large attractional church—challenges pastors to reconsider their priorities when it comes to how they "do church" and reach people in their communities. Writing with the grace and kindness of a trusted friend, Wilson encourages pastors to reexamine the Bible's teaching, not simply return to a traditional model for tradition's sake. He then sets forth an alternative to both the attractional and the traditional models: an explicitly biblical approach that is gospel focused, grace based, and fruit oriented.

Sexuality was a part of God's good creation from the beginning. But with sin came a world filled with sexual brokenness. Thankfully, God is always in the business of restoration.
