Guardrails. Six Principles for a Multiplying Church

14,99 $

Church Growth ? Church Health
Every impulse to share the gospel and make disciples is a good impulse. But without a structure to organize our impulses and focus our vision, the great commission can drive us straight into burnout. Healthy church growth is measured not by full schedules or even packed seats but by a steady multiplication of disciples of Jesus.

That happens when we organize ourselves around discipleship that is simple, holistic, adaptable, regular, reproducible, and positive.These six highly practical principles will give life and momentum to any ministry.

Read Guardrails and find your ministry better organized, more sustainable, and more fruitful.

The Vine and the Branches

24,99 $

Dr. Nathaniel Van Cleave was a faithful servant of the Lord in the Foursquare Church--pastor, missionary, theologian, professor, author, musician, supervisor, and Bible college president. As a young man, his life was deeply influenced by the ministry of many significant Pentecostal preachers during the first generation of Pentecostal outpouring in North America. Gifted by God with extraordinary abilities, he made "full proof of his ministry," devoting himself to preaching and teaching the Word for more than fifty years. He authored Handbook of Preaching, which has been reprinted numerous times and is translated for use in many training centers around the world, and co-authored Foundations of Pentecostal Theology, a comprehensive textbook of Pentecostal theology. This work--The Vine and the Branches--was his magnum opus.

The One Year Christian History

13,99 $

What happened on this date in church history? From ancient Rome to the twenty-first century, from peasants to presidents, from missionaries to martyrs, this book shows how God does extraordinary things through ordinary people every day of the year. Each story appears on the day and month that it occurred and includes questions for reflection and a related Scripture verse.

An Army of Ordinary People

10,99 $

An Army of Ordinary People contains the key to explosive, transformational, 21st century evangelism. Renowned church planter Felicity Dale shares stories of how God has always used-and is still using-ordinary believers to carry out his work in simple ways throughout the world. Some of these stories are dramatic-people being led to the Lord by the friends who counseled them through drug addictions and criminal pasts. Some are everyday-a dad spending his Sunday teaching Bible lessons to his kids, or a couple inviting their neighbors over to dinner and a spiritual discussion. But in each of them, there is a light bulb moment, when someone just like you thinks I can do that! And as a result, the gospel is spreading . . . and lives are being changed.

Pagan Christianity?

12,99 $

Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, and choirs? This ground-breaking book, now in affordable softcover, makes an unsettling proposal: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is rooted, not in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence and extensive footnotes that document the origins of modern Christian church practices. In the process, the authors uncover the problems that emerge when the church functions more like a business organization than the living organism it was created to be. As you reconsider Christs revolutionary plan for his church-to be the head of a fully functioning body in which all believers play an active role-youll be challenged to decide whether you can ever do church the same way again.

Church Answers Resources: A Brief Walk through Christian History

How Christianity Grew from a Dozen Disciples to a Worldwide Movement

At the beginning of the first century, a teacher named Jesus of Nazareth shook Roman-occupied Israel with his preaching and teaching. When, several years later, the Romans crucified Jesus and sealed him in a tomb, his disciples were crushed and confused.

Two thousand years later, more than two billion followers of Jesus can be found around the globe. Justin Gatlin tells the story of how that happened-from the miraculous resurrection of Jesus to the spread of Christianity throughout Africa and Asia in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. For each era covered in A Brief Walk through Christian History, Justin shows how Christians from that time period

responded to Christ’s call to spread the gospel message,
described and defined what it means to be a follower of Christ
taught and discipled people who joined the church.

It is an amazing story-one in which you can see the hand of God in the growth and expansion of the church.
