Repentance and the Mission of the Church by W. Ryan Vanderland Pdf

What does it mean when we call men and women to repent? What if repentance is more than just turning from individual sin? What if repentance is more than merely a step in the process of conversion? What if repentance is actually part of God’s mission in the world? In this book, W. Ryan Vanderland argues for this very understanding of repentance. Building on the work of other scholars of repentance and engaging with Old Testament and New Testament texts, this book shows how repentance is indeed part of God’s mission in the world, part of the mission of the church in the world, and therefore part of the mission of God’s people. Finally, this work takes this missional understanding of repentance and applies it to issues facing the contemporary church.

What Is the Mission of the Church? by Kevin DeYoung,Greg Gilbert Pdf

Social justice and mission are hot topics today: there's a wonderful resurgence of motivated Christians passionate about spreading the gospel and caring for the needs of others. But in our zeal to get sharing and serving, many are unclear on gospel and mission. Yes, we are called to spend ourselves for the sake of others, but what is the church's unique priority as it engages the world? DeYoung and Gilbert write to help Christians "articulate and live out their views on the mission of the church in ways that are theologically faithful, exegetically careful, and personally sustainable." Looking at the Bible's teaching on evangelism, social justice, and shalom, they explore the what, why, and how of the church's mission. From defining "mission", to examining key passages on social justice and their application, to setting our efforts in the context of God's rule, DeYoung and Gilbert bring a wise, studied perspective to the missional conversation. Readers in all spheres of ministry will grow in their understanding of the mission of the church and gain a renewed sense of urgency for Jesus' call to preach the Word and make disciples.

The Way Back by Paul Huyghebaert Pdf

There is a lot at stake as it pertains to correctly understanding and teaching God’s call to repent. God makes amazing promises about what He will do when his people truly live in repentance. Perhaps nowhere else in the Bible is this promise so clear as in Acts 3:19 (NASB): “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Repentance brings forgiveness from sins, but there is also a second promise attached to repentance: the presence of God. As you read this book, you’ll consider questions such as: Who does the Bible say God is? What does God think of you? What is the source of our understanding between right and wrong? How can we incorporate the majesty of the Creator into daily life? Other topics include how we take for granted the relationship God has offered us, why we should embrace a posture of humility, and the meaning of true repentance. The Way Back walks readers through a progression that illuminates why true, biblical repentance is at the heart of what it means to walk with God.

Life in Community by Dustin Willis Pdf

WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY EXTRAORDINARY? When people live in community moved by the gospel and marked by the Spirit, great things happen. They commit to one another. They grieve together, sing together, eat, pray, and play together. They love, serve, honor, encourage, and provide for each other gladly. And they live on mission together. Hearts are healed, walls come down, and outsiders come in. No competition. No pretense. No vain conceit. Just full hearts breaking bread and giving freely. It is nothing short of amazing. Most of us live in a shadow of what God intended for us. Life in Community calls us into the light. Reclaiming Scripture’s stunning vision of gospel-centered community, it inspires us to live in love unbounded. Read it, live it, and join the movement: Help unleash the power of extraordinary community. 6-Week group study included.

Grace Defined and Defended by Kevin DeYoung Pdf

Christians love to celebrate grace, but often talk about it in vague generalities. But such an important biblical concept ought to be clearly defined so it can be consistently defended. In this book, best-selling author Kevin DeYoung points modern readers back to an old document originally written to do just that. Warmly pastoral and broadly accessible, this book introduces readers to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century work summarizing the central doctrines of the Christian faith. Widely regarded as a key pillar of the Reformed tradition, the Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to God's grace—offering a depth of understanding that the church still needs today. In three concise sections—covering history, theology, and practical application—DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort's place in the Reformed tradition today.
