Pastors want to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus. However, we've too often assumed this requires loud music, flashy lights, and skinny jeans. In this gentle manifesto, Jared Wilson—a pastor who knows what it's like to serve in a large attractional church—challenges pastors to reconsider their priorities when it comes to how they "do church" and reach people in their communities. Writing with the grace and kindness of a trusted friend, Wilson encourages pastors to reexamine the Bible's teaching, not simply return to a traditional model for tradition's sake. He then sets forth an alternative to both the attractional and the traditional models: an explicitly biblical approach that is gospel focused, grace based, and fruit oriented.

Download and read online ebook The Prodigal God write by Timothy Keller. This book was released on 2008-10-30. The Prodigal God available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.

Download and read online ebook The Prodigal Prophet write by Timothy Keller. This book was released on 2018-10-02. The Prodigal Prophet available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah's journey also doesn't end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah's story.

Clendennen. This book was released on 2012-10-18. The Prodigal Church available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In 1967 in Tanzania, Africa, B.H. Clendennen received this message concerning The Prodigal Church. During the 60s, 70s and 80s he preached it across America in meetings, conventions and by TV Broadcast. In 2001 at the annual School of Christ International Preachers' convention in Beaumont Texas, he preached this message again to a gathering of several hundred believers. This booklet is an amalgamation in written form of the old and new message he preached on those occasions. The parable of the Prodigal Son is not just about a wayward Jewish son or a backslidden Christian. It is a wonderful revelation concerning what happened to the Church after the day of Pentecost when it wasted its wonderful inheritance. It reveals the tragedy of what happens when the Church leaves the power and simplicity of Pentecost and turns to games of religion and worldly entertainment in order to gather crowds. This is a vital message for this hour.
