Spent Matches
Author: Roy Moran
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 071803063X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Spent Matches explores the possibility that a few small paradigm shifts within the church might make the difference between extinction and effectiveness. In fact, taking a clue from the automobile industry, the church might be able to not only halt the rapid decay in attendance but also become an effective tool in achieving Jesus' final command. For instance, the Hybrid car has become the answer to Detroit's environmental and oil crisis issues. Finding the synergy between two technologies, gas and electric has created a new day for the auto industry. Likewise, Spent Matchesexplores how the church can find synergy between two seemingly competing thoughts: an invitation to come and a command to go. The Hybrid metaphor brings energy to the church's mission and an explanation to the age-old argument of Missional versus Attractional methods. Features include: Innovative ideas for growing the church Methods to reach those who may never have attended church Scripture passages that touch on the subject of church growth

The Starfish and the Spirit
Author: Lance Ford
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310098394
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Imagine an organizational model for church leadership that enables the entire team to unleash their full potential. The joy and vigor coming from a collective strength, intelligence, and skill in the community of leaders not only brings greater potency but better yields for your ministry. What would it be like to see this kind of healthy leadership reproduced into the second, third, and fourth generation, on multiple strands? Leveraging the metaphor Ori Brafman popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Rob Wegner, Lance Ford, and Alan Hirsch show: How to take a close look at your church's organizational structure and how to adapt instead of simply adopt a certain kind of structural approach. How churches can function without a rigid central authority, making them nimbler in reacting to external forces. How seeding starfish networks inside today's churches will prepare the church of tomorrow to be agile while maintaining the accountability to be effective. The Starfish and the Spirit is about creating a culture where church leaders view themselves as curators of a community on a mission, not the source of certainty for every question and project. It's about creating a team of humble leaders "in the middle" of the church, not at the top--leaders who naturally reproduce multiple generations of leaders, from the middle out.

The DNA of a Man

Pages : 0
Book Description
God is speaking to you today: "You have not failed. You have not missed the boat. You are exactly the right man to lead your wife, your kids, and yourself into the powerful Kingdom life that you were made for. So stick with me. I will show you that you do have what it takes."Do you feel like you've lost your way and can't figure out how to get a grasp on your confidence? Do you feel like a fearful, bland husband, trying simply to appease your wife rather than lead and love and protect her? Do you feel like, rather than abundant and victorious, your life in God is stagnant and defeated?This, then, is your opportunity to rouse yourself from the commonly taught weak, nice, passive, and self-pitiful form of "manhood" that has been keeping you stuck, disrupting your marriage, and leaving you bitter. It is possible for you to walk in true Godly manhood as a confident, gritty, unshakeable, irresistible Man of the Kingdom.It's time to come back to how you were meant to be: fully alive in your walk with God and unleashed in your own masculinity. Become a Kingdom man who runs hard after Jesus, who sees God do miracles in everyday life, who takes full ownership of your life while at the same time depending on Jesus for absolutely everything.From this place, you can truly begin to rebuild the places in your life that have lain broken for too long: your finances, your parenting, your marriage, your emotions. Come. Arise and build.

The Patient Ferment of the Early Church
Author: Alan Kreider
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493400339
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
How and why did the early church grow in the first four hundred years despite disincentives, harassment, and occasional persecution? In this unique historical study, veteran scholar Alan Kreider delivers the fruit of a lifetime of study as he tells the amazing story of the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Challenging traditional understandings, Kreider contends the church grew because the virtue of patience was of central importance in the life and witness of the early Christians. They wrote about patience, not evangelism, and reflected on prayer, catechesis, and worship, yet the church grew--not by specific strategies but by patient ferment.
