The Church is entering a season of change. Together, we need to
restore, renew and rebuild to create a more hopeful, faith-filled
future - and the book of Nehemiah shows us how. With contributions
from Debra Green and Paul Weston, Cris Rogers explores how we can
learn from Nehemiah's story and restore our hearts, our focus and
our world so that the Church can thrive as we join in with God's
heart for restoring all things. An inspiring call to action, this
book will challenge and equip you to join God's mission and the
full ministry of Jesus.
Holiness is totally about our orientation to a Holy, perfect God
who sees us, calls out our name and blesses us abundantly. Holiness
is often taught as being about how well we live out our Christian
faith and what we should and shouldn't do. This makes it about how
well we perform as a believer. In A Monkey's Orientation holiness
is unpacked and looked at as more about orientating ourselves to
the Fathers blessing, making it about where we are rather than what
we do.
Discipleship is central to a life of faith - and the Bible model of
discipleship is more like apprenticeship than simply learning. This
book is designed to help you not simply learn about what Jesus
knew, but become more like Jesus by doing what he did. At the heart
of this resource is a self-assessment process, called the
'Disciple-Making Tool', which helps you discern your 'shape' as a
disciple: whether your strengths lie particularly in your hands, in
contributing, creating and leading; in your heart, in loving,
appreciating and belonging; or in your head, in knowing, thinking
and understanding. Though many disciples can be overdeveloped in
one area and underdeveloped in another, Jesus invites us to grow in
all three areas in developing towards Christian maturity. These
daily readings - which include Bible passages, reflections,
exercises and prayer - will help you journey step by step in your
spiritual formation for the sake of reaching the world.
Using the book of James as a road map, this multi-authored work
will lead you on an adventure along the narrow road of
discipleship. Only the Brave brings both challenge and excitement,
while offering plenty of practical tips along the way! The five
authors - Lisa Holmes, Krish Kandiah, Sim Dendy, Cathy Madavan, and
Cris Rogers - each explore a chapter of James using these key
themes: Face it; Live it; Tame it; Lose it; Finish it. They
consider how we can use our heads, hearts, and hands to answer the
challenge James, and ultimately Jesus himself, laid down. It takes
courage to go beyond simply believing in Jesus: to live him, love
him, and share him. Only the Brave urges us not to play it safe,
but to live a life of abundance based on the example Jesus lived
out on earth. Only the brave will change the world, and this book
will inspire anyone who reads it to do just that.
The Bible Book by Book is a fully illustrated and accessible
introduction to each book of the Bible. Taking the books in
sequence, it explains genre and style, the locations involved, the
main themes and some key points to bear in mind as you read. The
Bible can be an intimidating book, but each introduction is
designed so it can be read in five minutes. A list of further
reading materials is also included for those who want to delve
deeper into particular books or topics. This book is pithy, direct
and engaging, and will help everyone to experience Scripture as the
living, breathing story of God and His people.
This is a book about who God is and who we are in light of that.
What we think about ourselves governs what we do. If we think we
are powerless, then we will behave that way. If we believe we are
weak, we will be weak. If we believe we have no gifts, we will not
use our gifting. When we believe the wrong things about ourselves
it stops us from stepping into the person we were created to be.
The Bible tells us that in Jesus we are "a new creation" and yet,
sometimes, we still wear the clothes of the old creation. But what
if we knew what God knows about us? When we know what God knows
about us we will do the things He knows we can do. Our potential is
limitless...
