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.

Joel Barrios hace un comentario de la segunda profecía del Apocalipsis sin interpretaciones preconcebidas o basadas en tradiciones eclesiásticas, sino que intenta descifrar los símbolos allí descriptos con la Biblia misma. Si alguien desea entender la profecía apocalíptica de una forma simple, relevante y sin tanto tecnicismos teológicos este es el libro adecuado para alcanzar ese propósito. LOS SIETE SELLOS: ZARANDEO es la continuación del libro LAS COSAS QUE DEBEN SUCEDER PRONTO.

Mini-liturgies are small, repeated worship scripts—predictable orders combined with repeated postures and phrases—that people come to feel are “how church is done,” even when no official prayer book exists. They have three basic ingredients: repetition (the same sequence week after week, like “stand to sing, sit, stand for reading, sit for sermon”), a script-like feel (“this is just how we do church,” so breaking it feels wrong), and implicit spiritual weight (worship feels “off” if the pattern isn’t followed). These show up across virtually all traditions: low-church ...

Two thousand years ago, when Jesus declared that He would build His Church, He rolled out a blueprint of what the Church was meant to be – relevant and effective through all generations. We now find ourselves in the 21st century, and we need to ask ourselves, "When we roll out the blueprint we currently have for 'building the Church', does it look the same as His? Are we building the Church Jesus wants built?" In this compelling book, Andy Elmes, speaking from years of experience as a church leader, evangelist and leadership coach, sends out a passionate call to the modern-day Church to ...

Infant Baptism; Family; and Covenant Status: Overview The document surveys the theological debate over infant baptism, family inclusion, and covenant membership, contrasting Presbyterian and Baptist (especially Old School Baptist) views. It covers biblical foundations, historical controversies, and practical issues like youth rebellion, church discipline, and the Halfway Covenant. Key Themes Infant Baptism and Covenant Status Presbyterians see baptism as a covenant sign, applied to the children of believers much like circumcision in Israel. Baptized infants are not presumed regenerate but ...

History's witnesses recorded their experiences in holy meditations and raw ...

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...

This volume includes articles about the church, its people, and its leadership. Several articles are about small churches. One section looks at worship, another at money. The meaning and role of the Lord’s Supper and baptism is also included. A collection of articles about church history completes the volume. The articles were written over a span of some 20 years, but have all been recently edited for publication as e-books and as this printed volume and its companion Kindle version. Articles about missions will be in the next volume.

El libro presenta las siete características fundacionales de la iglesia de Jesucristo según Mateo 16:18-19, las cuales afirman la naturaleza y el propósito de la iglesia.

The Book of Revelation is viewed in light of both the current world stage and those historic events which have transpired since it was written. The seven churches of Asia-Minor (which prophetically depict the advancing Church Age) as well as those passages pertaining to the powerful world empire during the tribulation are given considerable attention. OT prophets addressed many of these events, but none revealed the whole picture. Daniel asked the Lord for further clarification, that he might better understand the end times; the Lord said, “the words are closed up and sealed till the time...

All throughout the pages of Scripture, God has defined and expressed the character and nature of his people using different metaphors. One of these metaphors, describes God’s people as a flock of sheep and Christians as lambs that he calls individually by name. This metaphor describes the relationship between God and his people as that of one between a shepherd and his sheep. God says that we are his sheep. We are spiritual lambs and sheep. Perhaps you may be thinking, “For the love of God, no, I am not a sheep! Sheep are dumb! Sheep are clueless! What a put down! Why would God insult ...

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...

Many Christians today do not care about attending a Biblical church or finding the true church that Jesus founded because they have a wrong conception of what a church is, and they believe that the local assembly founded by Christ no longer exists. However, if you study Matthew 16: 18, you will learn that His church will continue to perpetuate because Christ made a promise that, even the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. --Matthew 16:18 The...

In volume 1 and 2 of this work we reminded our readers that the Brethren Assemblies are a unique Christian group, and both insiders as well as outsiders to this group should know why it is so. While the church has seen many reformations, the reformation brought in by the Brethren is unusual and has left an impact upon all church groups. In this third volume we would like to give a summary of five major Biblical doctrines. There are a number of fundamental doctrines that the Brethren emphasize, and anyone found denying even one of them is not in conformity with the Bible and the New Testament.

Hay un fuego que se está extendiendo a través de nuestras iglesias evangélicas. Bajo el concepto de justicia social y ministerios de misericordia, algunos maestros populares pero desviados, están reviviendo el antiguo evangelio social. Disfrazado para atraer a cristianos conservadores, este redefine la misión de la iglesia, el Reino de Dios e incluso amenaza al significado mismo del evangelio. Este libro revela sus orígenes y cómo enfrentar tales enseñanzas.

Jesus promised that he would build his church and that she would be a beautiful bride, holy and blameless before him; but as I look at the modern church our experience falls far short of his promises. The Holy Spirit has not lost his power and Jesus has not changed his mind, so the problem must be at our end. It seems that our Father is unwilling to entrust the fullness of his Spirit to our wineskins. Desperate situations call for radical change. More of the same will not get us to where we want to be. If we want the new wine of the Holy Spirit, we must shape our wineskins according to ...

Grounded in rich stories of the disciples’ encounters with Jesus, it invites us to overturn almost everything we have learned about authority, position, power and influence, calling us, instead, to follow in the footsteps of the ...
