Opis

Can I be fulfilled yet not a super Christian and decision maker? Yes The answer is, Yes Can I be fulfilled, yet, not winning soul-scalps on the evangelism team? Yes The resounding answer is, Yes There is no higher calling in the Kingdom of Christ than to be active in the daily labors of the local congregation. Glamorized pulpit ministry and committee involvement leaves people wondering where they fit. Our congregation models make the public and power ministry the pieces to pursue. The New Testament scribes tell us to make the less comely parts look more glamorous. How do we get it right? Living in the kingdom on a daily basis brings us closer to Christ. Expressing God's forgiving love to a world full of grief and pain lunges us forward in becoming more like Him. Gracing others with kindness and gentleness prepares a path for those on the fringe of our congregations to follow. As they attempt to peer into the kingdom from a safe distance, they will shuffle closer to the borders of pardon and peace. How do we get it right? Phil Larson takes us on the journey of a couple connected to a local church, but doing effective outreach in the community. Through biblical instruction and insight and their personal story, you will find how to be effective in reaching your neighbors. Come to Christ Grow in Christ Stay in Christ Battle the problems and issues that plague Christians in being sensitive and being seeking. This is not about being seeker sensitive. This is about being one who "seeks and saves the lost" as part of Jesus' ministry to go into the highways and byways and compel with compassion.
