Keeping Your Children's Ministry on Mission - Practical Strategies for Discipling the Next Generation

Sinopse

Practical Strategies for Gospel-Centered Children's Ministry
When building a children's ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that's before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. While all of the tasks of children's ministry are important, leaders can get easily distracted with the everyday work of doing ministry and lose sight of the main focus—the gospel.
Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children's ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel.

The Lord's Prayer (Touchstone...

William M. Wright

Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord's Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus's disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord's Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God's Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us. 
 
Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord's Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer. 
 
The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.

Reverence for God's Word - The...

Esther Jameson

In every era, the sacred scripture has been recognized as a dynamic and transformative force in the lives of believers. The power of God's Word extends beyond its ancient origins, reaching into the hearts and minds of those who encounter its timeless truths. It is a force that guides, corrects, and inspires, offering direction in a world that is often confusing and chaotic. For many, the Word of God is not merely a collection of texts, but a living testament to divine authority and love. Through it, believers find solace, strength, and the assurance that they are never alone in their struggles.
The transformative power of scripture is evident in the lives of countless individuals who have experienced personal renewal and growth after embracing its teachings. It speaks to the deepest parts of the human spirit, addressing both the physical and emotional challenges that people face. By engaging with the Word, individuals are invited into a deeper understanding of life’s purpose, as well as the mystery of existence itself. This engagement often leads to a profound internal change, where the light of divine wisdom dispels the darkness of doubt and despair.
Moreover, the authority of God's Word is seen as the ultimate benchmark for truth and morality. It offers a foundation upon which personal beliefs and ethical standards can be built, providing guidance in making decisions that align with divine will. In a society where values may seem transient or subject to constant change, the immutable nature of scripture offers a sense of permanence and stability. The power of the Word lies not in coercion, but in its ability to reveal a higher calling, encouraging individuals to strive for a life of integrity, compassion, and righteousness.
