Small-Batch Disciplemaking

10,99 $

Recover Jesus strategy of training the few to reach the many.

What if rather than funneling people through church programs, you invested in their growth? Would this kind of intentional investment help you discover a new kind of Christian purpose and spiritual legacy? And, what if you already have what it takes to develop your spiritual growth as a disciple while apprenticing others?

As Christians, we should all participate in spiritual leadership by seeking to make spiritual investment in the lives closest to us. It’s time for us to move away from institutionalized, Sunday morning faith and toward a more relationally driven, culturally friendly, and doable approach to disciple-making. What you will discover is how discipleship is not about learning more but learning to give away what you already have in Christ.

Small-Batch Disciplemaking by David Sunde is a compelling field guide for Christians looking to make a difference in the world by sharing their faith. With practical and empowering strategies for navigating the intimidating Biblical mandate of making disciples, this book equips and empowers readers to

Grow in faith in order to give faith away
Learn intentional spiritual practices like hospitality, compassion, and gratitude
Confidently go out and make a difference in the world

Get ready for a deeply pragmatic, culturally informed disciple-making faith.

Church Answers Resources: Understanding the Bible as a Whole

12,99 $

Everything you need to grasp God’s big picture in Scripture so you can dive deeper into each book of the Bible.

Every single word in the Bible is powerful and purposeful. But too often we can be guilty of thinking that the details of God’s plan for us must be buried in obscurity somewhere in the vastness of the Bible-as if we’re missing God because we missed that tiny iota subscript in the original Greek. What if it is the opposite? What if our daily purpose, our next step tomorrow, our discernment in the moment comes from a broad understanding of God’s revelation in the Bible? When you grasp God’s Word holistically, your life begins to make more sense each and every day. In this book, Sam Rainer will help you

Understand God’s big picture as revealed in the Bible
Explore the major themes of Scripture
Know quickly and easily the subject and purpose of each book of the Bible

See the entire masterpiece instead of focusing on the brushstrokes. Understand the broad themes that occur from Genesis to Revelation to find God’s purpose and plan for your life.

Equipping Christians for Kingdom Purpose in Their Work

13,99 $

In Equipping Christians for Kingdom Purpose in Their Work, Tom Lutz and Heidi Unruh offer advice to those who seek to influence the faith of people outside the church. Pastors, Christian educators, life coaches, workplace mentors, college professors, and any Christian who considers their vocation to be one of discipleship will find nourishment in this book.

Few resources are designed for personal disciplers-those who connect with other believers on a personal basis with a deep interest in their spiritual growth. This book fills the gap. This one-of-a-kind resource shows how to disciple others in and for their work. Most "faith and work" books focus on pastors and church programs, or they speak directly to workers. But this resource comes to the aid of those who offer spiritual guidance to working Christians.

This guide makes faith-and-work discipleship accessible to anyone who influences the faith of another. With short, readable chapters filled with case studies, examples, and practical resources, readers will learn how to equip others to fulfill their kingdom purpose in their work.

Sample topics include:

Principles for Effectively Connecting with Adult Learners
Structure for One-on-One Discipleship Meetings
Research on Vocational Discipleship and Kingdom-Centered Spiritual Maturity
Various Leadership Models
Scripture Passages on Being an Image-Bearer
Selected Scriptures for Faith and Work Principles

What If . . . God Has Other Plans?

16,99 $

What do you do when life throws you the unexpected?
At some point in all our lives, we will be given a script we never would have chosen. Where do you turn? How do you cope?

Chuck Swindoll, popular Bible teacher, provides hope for those dark moments when life veers off course. Whether you have been hit hard recently or you are watching a friend, loved one, or relative suffer through setbacks, this book is for you. It helps you to see how God can be working through those times when life doesn’t follow your carefully laid plans.

The future has never seemed so uncertain as in recent days. Chuck teaches biblical wisdom that can address how to respond to some of the most unforeseen circumstances.

What if you suddenly lose everything?
What if a longtime friend deceives you?
What if you need a second chance?

Find hope when life throws you the unexpected.

From the flap:
Significant questions have always intrigued me. Questions make us search longer, think harder, and probe deeper. They escort us through mental doors that have been closed for too long, urging us to deal with life issues that are often troublesome to us but are rarely addressed.

So I decided to ask some specific questions about life. Each question began with the same two words: What if . . . ? The questions covered a wide range of situations: from struggling with a disability to responding to God’s calling in our lives to do something great. These are the significant questions that most schools never address . . . but the Bible does.

When I turned to Scripture, I found, not surprisingly, that it holds reliable, understandable, and doable answers for each question. My search led to the book you now hold in your hand. May it remind you to ask significant questions and seek reliable, biblical answers.

Why is it a struggle to pray? Respected professor, speaker, and pastor Dr. Chuck Lawless explores the power of a praying church and how it can transform your ministry.
Through prayer, we have access to the all-powerful living God. Even so, too many of us are tempted to start our days prayerless and feeling alone. How can this be?

In The Potential and Power of Prayer, Chuck Lawless

illustrates how churches need to take prayer seriously in order to grow;
explores how Jesus and the early church depended on God through prayer;
explains how prayer is essential to preparing for spiritual battles; and
guides church leaders in establishing the priority of prayer and a thriving prayer ministry in their churches.

God chooses to move among Christians who humbly come to him in prayer; who depend on him for strength and guidance.
