Paul and Barnabas made a decisive move toward the end of the first missionary journey: they appointed elders in the churches they had established, entrusting them with responsibility to shepherd the young congregations. The need for faithful shepherding has not changed since that time, yet the...

Effective leadership is important. Nowhere is this more true than in the church. In this short guide, Jeramie Rinne offers listeners a concise overview of the Bible's teaching on spiritual leadership, helping church leaders effectively shepherd their congregations.

For all that bewilders and bedevils us, the desert mothers and fathers can help us. In The Way of the Desert Elders, Lisa Colón DeLay asks: What if desert elders from more than a millennium ago could walk beside us and nourish our spirits? Starting in the fourth century, half a million Christians fled the villages and cities of the Roman Empire. Leaving behind comforts, they battled what Evagrius called "afflicting thoughts," which still unsettle us today. 

In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Christ’s Church understand what it means to shepherd the flock of God. With Scripture as their foundation, they teach how elders should be chosen and appointed, what elders should be like, and the difficult work elders must do. They then combine hundreds of years of church history with their own experiences of ministering to God’s sheep—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, black and white, local and international.

You are invited to think, specifically, about salvation by God’s grace. If you are a born-again believer in Jesus, this is your salvation. As we explore and think about salvation by God’s grace, we will discover that there is a way things work in God’s creation. We will explore the concept of thinking. We will consider many questions about thinking? How does the mind relate to thinking? Where do words fit into thinking? How is believing connected? There is a way things work in God’s creation.

In my book, I show how mature followers of Christ who are winning at life are similar to the big brother of the prodigal son (Elder Son of Luke 15). One of the challenges I address is pride. Pride happens automatically in the absence of humility. Pride is the primary preventer of receiving wisdom from the Lord. Another challenge to elder sons and daughters I address is handling the limelight. Many mature Christians can lose their Christian character when exposed to the limelight. One of the most important topics I address is staying motivated after achieving your dream.

This book is divided into three parts, and each part is presented with an issue is not the issue format. I seek to identify the assumed or presented issue and then through exploration of Scripture discover the "real" issue. Part 1 concerns issues involving the supernatural. Part 2 looks at issues concerning the process that God uses to grow believers in Christ-likeness. Part 3 explores the issue of leadership in the church of Jesus Christ and who is in charge.

God created mankind with the capacity to think. What a person thinks matters and what a person believes matters. Anything that matters must be important. People like to know what they think and what they believe is true because that would be important. However, that is not what happens because sometimes, maybe often, people think and believe what is not true. This is a problem. This book is about truth and reality. This book is about the importance of God's truth and God's reality because God's truth and God's reality matter.

The thoughts about what is in “it” for Jesus came to me when this verse was read during a worship service in my local fellowship. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18). I found it amazing to think that believers, his holy people, could be his rich and glorious inheritance. Probably like most other Jesus followers, my focus has always been on what is in it for me.
