What Is the Mission of the Church?
Author: Kevin DeYoung
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 143352693X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
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 Heart of the Mission

Publisher: Our Sunday Visitor
ISBN: 1681926652
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
As Christians, and especially as people who work for the Church, we are part of an incredible mission: to bring people to Jesus. Jesus himself gave us this mission when he said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28:19). Yet it is far too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day details of our work — so much so that we can lose sight of our true mission. In The Heart of the Mission: Simple Ways to Bring People to Jesus, Cande de Leon shows what it takes to get back on track. With wisdom and humor born of his own experience, he shows how our Christian mission always begins and ends with people. To help us live this in our daily life and work, he guides us through three transformational principles for ministry and life: Strengthening relationships Boldly growing engagement Connecting people to the mission Whether you are a pastor, part of a parish staff, or a volunteer at your home parish, these principles apply to you. Because if we really want to make transformational change in our Church and our world, we first have to recognize the people in front of us — who they are, what they need, what gifts God has given them, and how he is inviting them to participate in the mission of the Church. Not merely another program to transform your parish, this book offers a simple yet radical invitation to roll up your sleeves and make a difference by getting back to basics.>/p> ABOUT THE AUTHOR Cande de Leon has served as executive director of the Office of Mission Advancement for the Diocese of Phoenix since 2016. He leads a team committed to advancing the mission of Christ through stewardship, evangelization, and discipleship formation. He spent seven years in the Diocese of Corpus Christi serving as the director of parish stewardship and development, where he raised over $37 million (with a goal of $18 million) for the Legacy of Faith ~ Future of Hope Capital & Endowment Campaign. Cande has been married to his wife, Rosemary, for 22 years. They have four daughters.

APOSTOLIC MISSION OF JESUS THE
Author: Gary Larson
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 9781498483155
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The subject of this book is the apostolic mission of Jesus the Messiah, who was sent into this world by His Heavenly Father and given a commission to liberate humanity from the kingdom of the devil and the evil powers which have been allied with him ever since the fall of Adam. In fulfilling this mission, Jesus pursued an active ministry for over three years. His mission and ministry were focused on the proclamation of a completely new message: the Gospel, or Good News, of the Kingdom of God. Through this message, Jesus announced that God's Kingdom was breaking into the darkness of this world to liberate the captives of the devil. Moreover, it was a "multimedia presentation" which was announced in words and demonstrated in miraculous works of healing and deliverance through the power of the Holy Spirit. His apostolic mission is especially important to the modern Church because it is also our mission and ministry. Although our Lord was the first to announce the Gospel of the Kingdom, He trained and equipped His apostles to carry on the ministry which He had begun. Moreover, before He ascended to the Father He commissioned His Church to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the entire world. Gary Larson is an itinerant Bible teacher who lives in Columbus, Ohio. He and his wife Maureen have three grown children, three grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Gary's first career was in astronomy, but God called him into the Gospel ministry over forty years ago. He has taught in a Bible school and pastored two churches. The Apostolic Mission of Jesus the Messiah is his first book."
