    • Preaching And Intimacy

      $19.11

      Sermon Contributors
      Foreword
      Acknowledgments
      Introduction: Preparing To Release The Message
      Chapter 1. Connecting With God
      Chapter 2. Connecting With The Listeners
      Chapter 3. Connecting With Ourselves
      Chapter 4. Connecting With The Bible
      Chapter 5. Releasing The Message

      Additional Info
      Intimacy has multiple meanings for preaching. It affirms the crucial role the messenger has in the message. It is the quality that helps to establish a relationship between the hearer and the speaker. It is a “holistic” approach to preaching.

      Designed to help both the student and the practicing minister communicate more effectively, Preaching and Intimacy begins with the preacher as a person and moves through the components that are essential to preaching. Attention is given to a minister’s relationship with God, his/her feelings about himself/herself, how to imaginatively engage a biblical text, how to think of the listeners, and then how to address and deliver a sermon. Emphasis is put on the preacher’s investment in the sermon so that when it is spoken, it is authentic and real.

    • Firestorm : Preventing And Overcoming Church Conflicts (Reprinted)

      $24.00

      According to one survey, as many as one third of all congregations have suffered conflicts severe enough to result in the firing or forced resignation of one or more of their pastors. Ron Susek, who has firsthand experience of the lasting effects of church controversy and has ministered to churches in turmoil, offers a detailed portrait of how events can often spiral out of control–not unlike the flames of a wildfire.

      Firestorm describes the six successive phases through which conflicts generally pass. In each phase, Susek identifies the tensions that tend to develop, explains how they are compounded if left unresolved, and offers practical, spiritual guidance for pastors and congregational leaders.

      The book also explains the spiritual, social, and psychological causes of conflict; the most appropriate means for dealing with controversy in its various stages; and what can be done in the firestorm’s aftermath to restore faith and hope.

      A detailed plan of action is included.

      If you think that God fell into good fortune the day you committed your wonderful leadership skills to his work and that the two of you are building a masterpiece of a church that will stand until the Lord returns, then don’t bother reading this book. Enjoy your illusion while it lasts.

      If, on the other hand, you have been in the ministry long enough to know that your church could blow into a firestorm of conflict despite your best efforts and that it demands a constant vigil to keep the temperature set at spiritually warm, not destructively hot, then this book may be of some assistance.

Written in consultation with pastors from both “call” and “appointment” systems, this book will be of value to those who are starting a new ministry placement, whether they be fresh out of seminary or long-time seasoned veterans.

    • Humming Till The Music Returns Cycle B

      $17.95

      One day God will stand again as solo conductor on the podium of the universe, and lead in the crashing finale of the symphony of Life. But until then, we who are left in this world with the buzzing and blaring of many competing and changing “top 40” hits need to keep humming the tune that Jesus taught. (from the Introduction)

      The scripture lessons for these seasons combine themes of waiting in expectation and displaying the effects of eternity within the context of time. Though the dulling ache of sin and corruption pushes the song of creation out of tune, Jesus intervenes with a melody of grace, and the church keeps the music alive in witness and testimony while longing for the chorus of eternity to shout hallelujah once again. Wayne Brouwer’s messages ring loud and true in the ears of those who hear these sermons.

      Sermon titles include:
      I Can’t Wait — 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
      Tilting The Balance Of Power — Romans 16:25-27
      Anti-Venom Serum — Galatians 4:4-7

    • Against The Grain Words For A Politically Incorrect Church Cycle B

      $13.95

      I have always been troubled by a church that is too enamored of “the big business of religion” and too hungry for the world’s applause and approval. The church is first of all called to be faithful to the Gospel, to be a sign of God’s coming gracious kingdom in this world, and only secondarily to be a successful and competent institution in this world. This book is driven by the fear that the church has too often forgotten the former and succumbed to the latter. (from the Preface)

      While thoroughly grounded in scripture and sound theology, Steven Albertin has a way of contemporizing the message of the Gospel, making it easy to understand but not necessarily easy to fulfill. After reading or listening to one of these sermons, you’ll be left with a very clear understanding of its central message, expressed with such carefully chosen and forceful words that it will not be easily forgotten.

      Chapter titles include:
      *What’s In It For Me (Mark 10:35-45)
      *Baptism And Self-Esteem (Mark 12:28-34)
      *Breaking The Taboo (Mark 12:38-44)
      *Having the Last Word (John 18:33-37)

    • Preaching The Miracles Series 3 Cycle B

      $13.95

      One cannot read the miracles of Christ reported in the Gospel of Mark without being convinced of the divinity of Christ. John Mark repeatedly records Christ’s divine powers over nature, illness, severe physical handicaps, and sin. These events in which God’s power entered into human situations had profound effects on those who witnessed them — and they continue to teach us great spiritual truths today.

      Pastors will find this volume packed with valuable idea starters for their sermons. For each miracle in Cycle B, Harold Lentz shares background material, sermon approaches, and several illustrations. Instead of wondering, “What shall I preach on this Sunday?” you’ll be thinking, “I can’t wait to share all this information with my people!”
