In this book, we will explore the mystery of God; that is, the doctrine of the Trinity or Triune God. For years, the debate continues as to whether Jesus Christ and the Father are the same or if they are separate. Answers to this controversy are within the word of God which clearly reveals the truth. In this publication, we will plainly discuss the Godhead; that is, the divine nature of God. Through the presentation of biblical truth, we will bring clarity to this controversial subject.

In his Ecclesial Being Professor Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of the unity of the Orthodox churches, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples - wonderfully diverse in language and culture - as one nation in Christ, which the entire world is invited to join.

This is a text that I originally started work on in 2016. But I set it aside because I did not know exactly how I wanted to present the seven roles of a pastor. Those roles are elder, bishop, shepherd, preacher, teacher, servant, and messenger. An elder is a man of spiritual maturity who teaches and leads the flock of God. A bishop involves overseeing the needs of the flock. The shepherd cares for the flock. The preacher proclaims the gospel message to those in the assembly. The teacher explains the whole Bible. The servant ministers to the needs of others. The messenger delivers the ...

This book has been written to share what I discovered during a unique experience in late 1989 and early 1990. While that experience was not very pleasant, the discoveries that I made have more than made up for any of those anxieties which I felt. After having been a Christian for a little over twenty-two years, I suddenly and without warning lost my job. Since at that time I had been faithful in the Lord's work for over fifteen years, plus had also done very well within my profession, being released from my employment did not seem logical. Therefore, from the very beginning, I acknowledged ...

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

L’Église d’aujourd’hui a besoin d’un réveil. Comme l’affirme Paul Washer : « Nous ne pouvons pas simplement faire ce qui semble juste à nos yeux, puis nous attendre à ce que le Saint-Esprit vienne bénir nos efforts. » À vrai dire, le diable n’a guère besoin de s’opposer aux prières de l’Église pour un réveil, à moins que le peuple de Dieu ne cherche réellement à vivre et à diriger ses assemblées selon la Parole de Dieu. Ce livre examine dix domaines où l’Église d’aujourd’hui a négligé de suivre les directives bibliques.

Dans Redécouvrir l’Église locale, Collin Hansen et Jonathan Leeman expliquent pourquoi l’Église est essentielle pour les croyants et la mission de Dieu. À travers différents textes bibliques et plusieurs histoires personnelles, ils montrent aux lecteurs la véritable intention de Dieu pour les rassemblements d’Église : renforcer spirituellement les membres en tant qu’individus et en tant que corps du Christ. Redécouvrez pourquoi l’avenir de l’Église repose sur le rassemblement régulier des croyants en tant que famille de Dieu.

Il existe plusieurs livres pour nous aider avec l’étude de la Bible, la prière, le service ou l’évangélisation, mais peu pour nous aider à chanter. Ce domaine mérite de recevoir autant d’attention ; il est même lié à l’épanouissement de ces autres sphères de notre vie spirituelle. Keith et Kristyn Getty présentent le chant comme un aspect vital de notre communion avec Dieu. Ils nous donnent des conseils bibliques, pratiques et centrés sur l’Évangile pour promouvoir le chant et l’adoration dans l’Église ainsi que dans notre vie personnelle et familiale.

La vérité est attaquée en ce moment, et beaucoup de choses sont en jeu. De nombreux chrétiens pratiquants suivent innocemment le contre-courant d'enseignements et d'écrits qui soutiennent des histoires chrétiennes de rechange et de fausses idéologies émergentes.

Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn.

Comment peut-on définir l’Église ? Lorsqu’on mentionne le mot « Église », beaucoup de gens pensent à un bâtiment. D’autres l’associent à une dénomination chrétienne en particulier. Mais l’Église est bien plus que cela. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul explique que l’Église ne fait pas référence à un bâtiment, mais à un groupe de personnes appartenant à la famille universelle de Dieu et appelées à vivre des vies qui le glorifient.

The modern church is falling apart at the seams. We have abandoned the practice of the sufficiency of Scripture. Instead of following the pattern of Scripture, we have evolved, morphed, and adjusted in order to keep up with the culture. We have done so to the point that the church in the last century would be unrecognizable to the church of the last 2,000 years. The focus of the church in our current cultural climate should be reformation. We should stop trying to integrate the ways of a collapsing culture into our practices in order to draw people. We should stop trying to force revival to...

Discover the Secret to Turning the World Upside Down! Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said… “that they may be one just as We are one.” (John 17:1, 22) Division feeds powerlessness. The longer the church remains divided and disconnected from each other, the longer it will take to accomplish the work Jesus has assigned us to do. You may be thinking, “I’m just one person. What can I do to bring God’s people together and promote unity in the body of Christ?” Joey LeTourneau’s book shows you how to: Become a catalyst that releases uncommon unity in your...

The reality that rampant dysfunction exists in evangelical churches today should be no mystery when one recognizes that churches typically fail to function according to the metaphor of Christ as the head of the body. Through this metaphor we can observe how dysfunction can be avoided by cultivating several types of functionality that God included in the human body. This book outlines five types of functionality that operate in the human body releasing it to fully express the character of the head: unified functionality, distinctive functionality, systemic functionality, expressive ...

The Church Is Flat is the first significant, researched study into the ecclesiology of the emerging church movement. Research into eight congregations is put into conversation with the theology of Jürgen Moltmann, concluding with pragmatic proposals for the the practice of a truly relational ecclesiology.

After interpreting ...
