J.Steve — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:28:17 +0000

A Practical Theology of Discipleship and Spiritual Formation

The Kingdom Life is for teachers, pastors, lay leaders, and every Christian seriously seeking a more integrated approach to spiritual formation.

Description: For six years, spiritual formation leaders such as Dallas Willard, Bruce Demarest, and Bill Hull came together with other colleagues to create a collection of wisdom and honest personal revelation in the areas of discipleship and spiritual formation.

The result is The Kingdom Life , a book that offers a fresh approach to the spiritual disciplines
through a three-pronged focus on transformation, community, and outreach.

Connect in a unique way with God and His kingdom by understanding how He sees grace and doctrine, brokenness and obedience, outreach and justice.

Includes seven highly practical “process” chapters as well as three theological chapters on the Trinity, the Scriptures, and the Holy Spirit.

Christlike

The Pursuit of Uncomplicated Obedience

Spiritual growth isn’t just part of church programming; it requires practice in the real environment of daily life, effort, and community.

Description: The final court of whether or not you are becoming like Jesus is not attending another church program but how you act in daily life.
Christlike aims to change outward actions by inner spiritual growth through uncomplicated obedience in our relationship with God.

Author Bill Hull uses his experience as a pastor and his background in disciplemaking and spiritual formation to show how Scripture memory plays an integral role in your discipleship. Explore what it means to be a Christian and what your role is in the kingdom of God.

Includes discussion questions.

Learning to Hear God

J.Steve — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:55:06 +0000

A Personal Retreat Guide

How can I learn to hear God better?

Because God is always present with us – whether we’re sleeping or eating, working or relaxing, worshipping or doing mundane chores – conversation with God can be a normal part of life. That’s why Jesus invites us: “Come to me, learn from me, abide in me.” When we struggle to hear God, we slow down and just enjoy being with God. In this retreat, learn how to cultivate quietness, listen to God and the tone of that divine voice, and hear God in the Word.

Living in the Companionship of God

J.Steve — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:47:55 +0000

A Personal Retreat Guide

Is it possible to live in God’s companionship all day long?

One of the most overlooked qualities of God is that God is relational. God created us with the intention of being with us. Before the foundation of the world, God desired to build a community of people who would be divine “dwelling place” (or home) here on earth. God wants to have meaningful conversations with us, weep with us, celebrate with us, and be our soul’s companion. Draw deeper into amazing relationship with the One who loves you.

Trusting God for Everything Psalm 23

J.Steve — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:37:40 +0000

A Personal Retreat Guide

Can you trust God for everything in your life?

Uncertainty about the economy, employment, health, and relationships often gives us fearful, worried lives. But Psalm 23 offers a picture of what it looks like when we live our lives with God here and now, every day. Such a life of connecting with God moves us toward becoming people who live with joy and gratefulness and are able to bless enemies and live intentionally, free of judging others. Throughout this retreat, you’ll see how God provides for everything you need, that God can be trusted to lead you and restore your soul, and that God walks every step with you in all situations. Enter into a life of trust and confidence in God

The Master Plan of Evangelism

J.Steve — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:25:35 +0000

It all started when Jesus called a few men to follow him and share God’s message with their neighbors. We are called to do the same. But evangelism can be difficult – even intimidating. With all the evangelism resources available, where should you turn to find advice on how to share the Good News with others? Robert E. Coleman (The Master’s Way of Personal Evangelism) says the answers aren’t found in TV evangelism, easy-evangelism guidebooks, or the latest marketing techniques. Rather, he looks to the Bible, to the ultimate example found in Jesus Christ.

For more than forty years this classic, biblical look at evangelism has challenged and instructed over three million readers. Now repackaged for a new generation, The Master Plan of Evangelism is as fresh and relevant as ever. Join the movement and discover how you can minister to the people God brings into your life.

With more than 40 years of ministry experience among internationals, Nate Mirza provides insight into the re-entry challenges these students face, as well as practical strategies and resources to prepare them for a lifetime of service for Christ.
