Reclaiming the Great Commission by Evan Armatas Pdf

Jesus' last words to his disciples were "Go . . . and make disciples of all the nations" (Matt. 28:19-20). Unfortunately, many parishes are struggling to follow this commandment. In Reclaiming the Great Commission, Fr. Evan Armatas offers a roadmap to help us get back on track. Relying on his 20 years of parish experience, Holy Scripture, and insights from research and his visits with churches across the US, he discusses how you and your community can implement changes that will transform, revitalize, and renew your parish. You'll learn how to diagnose and remove the barriers you face, deal with resistance to change, define what a healthy parish looks like, lead with purpose, and create a Parish Health Plan. Written for clergy, council members, ministry leaders, small groups, and all committed parishioners, this book will help any church in its journey to reclaim the Great Commission.

The Great Omission by Dallas Willard Pdf

Jesus's Last Command—Ignored! The last command Jesus gave the church before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission, the call for Christians to "make disciples of all the nations." But Christians have responded by making "Christians," not "disciples." This, according to brilliant scholar and renowned Christian thinker Dallas Willard, has been the church's Great Omission.

Finish the Mission by John Piper,David Mathis Pdf

This is no ordinary missions book. The theme isn't new, but the approach is refreshing and compelling, as contributors David Platt, Louie Giglio, Michael Ramsden, Ed Stetzer, Michael Oh, David Mathis, and John Piper take up the mantle of the Great Commission and its Spirit-powered completion. From astronomy to exegesis, from apologetics to the Global South, from being missional at home to employing our resources in the global cause, Finish the Mission aims to breathe fresh missionary fire into a new generation, as together we seek to reach the unreached and engage the unengaged.

New Life in the Risen Christ by Jonathan A. Powers Pdf

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.

Reclaiming the Bible from the Enlightened by Doug McNaught Pdf

Should Christians concede ground as far as the Bible is concerned? Do the "enlightened" experts have a mortgage on the truth or can Christians simply believe the Bible in confidence. Reclaiming the Bible from the Enlightened gives each Christian confidence to believe and obey the Bible knowing that they are remaining true to their own God and Saviour. We don't have to give ground to unbelievers or feel that our minds are inferior.

Reclaiming the Political Process by Ray Miller Pdf

Disciples of Christ in America must live out and express their faith in practical, meaningful ways in the “real world” including the political process. Our failure to provide leadership in our culture and the political process has resulted in the many negatives that are now taking place in the US. Believers must see engagement with the political process as a natural expression of their relationship with God. Ray Miller suggests practical and holistic ways in which we can live out our faith through this involvement and become engaged long-term in the political process.

Practical family ministry for both the churched and the unchurched are the foundation of this book. African-American churches can help prevent dropouts from society and restore those who have dropped out.

Irresistible by Andy Stanley Pdf

A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

The Mission of God and You by Lori McDaniel Pdf

You Have a Purpose. God Has a Part for You to Play in Something Big. You were created by God, called to follow Christ, and commissioned to make disciples. When Jesus gave this commission, it wasn't a last-minute thought before he ascended into heaven. It was a mandate for all his followers to participate in a movement of God already in motion. What is God's will for my life? Where does my life fit into God's purpose? If the idea that you have a purpose and mission feels daunting, keep in mind that you cannot mess up the story of what God is doing. But you can miss out on being a part of it. The Mission of God and You will expand your missional view of the Bible and your biblical view of the world. You'll traverse the globe and grasp the urgency of our mission. You'll hear the stories of a great cloud of witnesses, both past and present, and gain perspective on how God has worked and is working. You'll be challenged to leverage every season of your life to advance the gospel to the ends of the earth. Don't wait. God is inviting you to participate in the most significant movement the world has ever known.
