Now in its third volume, Reverend Malcolm Duncan's hugely popular #Niteblessings invites you again to encounter God at the close of each day. Each of these blessings offers an opportunity to lay down the burdens of the day and meaningfully engage with the Holy Spirit. Simply written, yet profound, moving and insightful, this book will renew and strengthen you for your daily walk with God.
Christians are called to model a way of life that challenges the status quo and infuses the world with hope and possibility. We are to be people who see possibility where others see failure, beauty where others see ugliness and freedom where others see chains. This is the Upside Down Kingdom, where the forgotten are noticed, the silenced are given back their voice and love is stronger than hate. By exploring the teaching of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, Malcolm Duncan in Flipped traces the key components of this new community, this life-giving way of living. He explores the five key discourses in Matthew and invites us to a radical new way of living and being centred around the reign and the rule of King Jesus. The message of Flipped: The Upside Down Kingdom is one that our churches need to hear - that God's Kingdom is unshakeable, local churches are its vanguard and Christians are its citizens. Flipped paints a vision of what is possible when ordinary people catch a glimpse of God's radical call to follow the Lord Jesus.
This follow-up to Reverend Malcolm Duncan's hugely popular #Niteblessings invites you to encounter God at the end of the day. Each blessing draws you closer into His presence, releasing you from the pressures of the day into engagement with the Holy Spirit. Simple yet profound, moving and insightful, each of the Reverend Duncan's blessings will renew and encourage you on your walk with God.
"For some time now, I have been writing a simple blessing each day. I share it with those who are connected to me on social media. My friends, family and those who journey with me through these avenues have often commented that they would like to see them in a little book that you could carry with you on holiday, or leave by your bedside. I pray they will be used by God to bless you, to bless others and to somehow, in a small way, build confidence in Almighty God. You can dip into them or use them on a daily basis. Whatever works for you. Whether you are already a follower of Jesus, or you are just exploring Who He is and what He does, I pray these little blessings will help you."
We all walk through grief and loss. It comes in many shapes and forms. As a husband, father, son and a pastor, for the past thirty-four years, Malcolm Duncan has experienced loss in many forms. Duncan has seen grief destroy some people, and his own experience of loss and grief came close to destroying him. Yet God has carried him through. In this intensely personal journal, Duncan guides the reader through grief and loss, examining how it changes us, and affirms that God is with us every step of the way. Intimate and well-grounded in scripture, Malcolm Duncan shows us that no matter how dark it gets, the light of His grace will always be there.
Finding God in the everyday and the present moment while developing our spiritual capacity Malcolm Duncan wrote God Gazer as a poem and prayer to communicate his heart's desire to see God, bring life to others, and change the world for the better. When eventually he performed the poem publicly, it went viral on the Internet--it has now been downloaded over one million times. In I Want to Be a God Gazer he unpacks his manifesto. Reflective, engaging, and inspiring, this book will help readers connect with the beauty, mystery, and wonder of God and give them a fresh picture of who He is and what He has for their lives. It will rekindle the faith of jaded believers and inspire them to believe they can do great things for God. Malcolm Duncan brings us back to our primary calling: to seek and discover God's presence. He emphatically declares that to be a light we must learn to gaze into God, that only by doing so can we change the world. Once we have seen Him, our passion becomes that others will see Him, reach their potential, and they also will become God gazers.
The early church tried, failed, and tried again. They did not know what was coming next--but they learned to depend on the Spirit, who was always one step ahead. The unpredictable Spirit invites us to an adventure of faith. The road is not straight, but the compass is sure. Malcolm calls Christians to become risk takers, not shackled to legacy, willing to do the right rather than the easy thing. Thi s is the only way that the world will be changed.
Christians face a tough task. In a world without consensus, all truth claims are regarded dubiously. The Gospel does not change, but what aspects should be highlighted in our rapidly changing culture? How do we speak 'into' the culture, instead of just mirroring that culture? Malcolm Duncan constructs his case around the core statements of the Apostles' Creed. If we believe in as God as Creator, what does that mean about our treatment of His creation? If we accept Christ as Saviour and Lord, in what sense are we rescued, redeemed, remade? If we accept the Holy Spirit as Guide, where are we going and what are we here for? We face an unbelievable task: playing our part in the world's regeneration. But God has confidence in us. If we can be confident of what He has done for us, then we can also be confident of what He wants to do through us.
