Summary

Can we transcend worry? How do we find contentment? Is it possible to stand firm when the world around us seems so uncertain? Can we still find hope in God's written word?
Transcending Worry takes us on a journey of reflection through some verses from the book of Philippians 4 1-13. Familiar and much loved these wonderful verses written by St Paul to the Church in Philippi give us a lot to think and contemplate: "Do not be anxious about anything...... I have learnt to be content in all circumstances..... stand firm ........". How can these verses help us today?
John Bloor, a licensed Reader and preacher in the Church of England, a Christian for over 50 years, a confessed worrier, writes having experienced a "light bulb" moment whilst listening to a talk in church on these particular verses. Inspired and written in a time of great anxiety and worry as Coronavirus swept throughout the world. John very much believed he was called by God to write and share these insights and thoughts with others.
Taking several years to complete, consideration is given through personal stories, painful times and life experiences. We are transported to Paris; The Louvre Gallery - a Rembrandt painting, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Church to help us contemplate and provide thought provoking questions.
The book includes contributions, stories and life experiences from Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough and other friends and church family members that very much informed John's thinking and writing.
We are called to serve our faithful and loving God. What does this mean? A closer look at the Rembrandt painting, The Supper at Emmaus, we are challenged to think and reflect on what we might bring to the table.
Available since: 08/24/2023.

    Practical Advice on Biblical Church Leadership and Membership
God created his church to be a covenant of love and service among believers. It's an ideal design for fellowship, but one that's pushed to the side in the busyness of church life. How can congregations be sure to embrace God's purpose for them?
In the short ebook Who's in Charge of the Church?, Sam Emadi explains that church polity isn't just transactional; it's meant to be transformative. He describes how churches should reflect biblical authority, particularly members' responsibilities to one another, their elders, and deacons. Emadi's direction helps provide clarity for congregations, showing them how to operate within God's perfect design and grow stronger in their love for Christ.

- Short, Accessible Format: Concise, biblical advice on improving church structure
