Risky Gospel : Abandon Fear And Build Something Awesome
$19.99
Risky Gospel is a call to modern Christians to break with a fearful, risk-averse faith and to embrace a Christianity driven by a great God, a powerful gospel, and a holisti-cally courageous way of life.
Do you feel pressure to act as if life is always good, everyone is nice, and things are always going to get better, as if we’re all shiny and happy and upwardly mobile? We know it’s a put on. The reality is that we are living in uncertain times. The good news is not merely the alleviation of whatever ails us. The Lord offers us an exciting life to live. Jesus comes to us to embolden us, not to anesthetize us.
That means the calculus of life is not security, but God-driven risk. This kind of think-ing means that we approach our families, churches, jobs, free time, hobbies, and goals with God’s glory on our mind. Risky Gospel attempts to wake Christians up from their serenity-seeking coma by grouding their faith not in the world of sin but in the world of Scripture. As we see in the example of Christ and his apostles, the gos-pel is worth living for, sacrificing for, and dying for. It is the fulfillment of everything we seek. All that we could ever want is already here, and it is given us through the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom Disciples : Heavens Representatives On Earth
$18.40The missing key to Christianity in America
There is a missing key in Christianity today. It is a critical key, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without the full use of this key, we lack the tools needed to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth.
That missing key is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn:
*What a disciple essentially is
*What a disciple cares about
*How to be a disciple and make disciples
*What discipleship looks like in community
*What the impact of discipleship on the world should beKingdom disciples are short supply, and the results are legions of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, resulting in a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship.
It is the goal of this book Kingdom Disciples to call believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment?
Useful for base material in a course on discipleship.
