Discipleship and Evangelism Resources
Effective Church Councils
Document is to help Church Councils to be more effective. Written by Rev Dr Dean Brookes at Hope Valley Uniting Church in SA
A Contemporary Apologist - Alister McGrath
McGrath is in some ways, a modern Erasmus. His knowledge is prolific, his writings limpid, his commitment to the Gospel passionate, his appreciation of the Church perceptive and his theological convictions powerfully biblical. He is a theological, philosophical and apologetic evangelist and a great gift to this generation of Christians.
Encouragement from the Past - PT Forsyth
Peter Taylor Forsyth is a theological colossus coming out of Scottish Congregationalism. I have heard him quoted and cited by T F Torrance, Alister McGrath and other luminaries. He has been the most consistently abiding theological influence on my own life and thinking. I once knew a powerful visitation of God’s Spirit while studying The Holy Father.
The Forgotten Reformer: An encouragement from the Past
Erasmus, sometimes called the forgotten Reformer, was a genius of his time. His knowledge was encyclopaedic, his devotion to scholarship unsurpassed, his devotion to Christ unwavering and his appreciation of “pagan” writers exceptional.
Going Out With a Bang or a Whimper - Top Priorities for Older Churches
Every church I know is concerned about its future. Consequently the members see outreach to children and young people as very important. "Unless more young people join us," they say, "our church has no future." They seem to believe that, above all else, ensuring their church's future is their greatest responsibility. Their priority is "survival, even if it kills us!"
Preaching - For Better or For Worse
Christianity is not a topic to be mastered but life from God to be received, lived out and shared. Preaching, biblically understood, is not only about informing heads, but much more about transforming lives. Its purpose is that many people will become wholehearted followers of Christ. Preaching that does not aim to produce disciples of Christ is not preaching at all.
A Vision for Every Church
A church is not a quarry of potential volunteers. A church is people in whose hearts and minds God has invested abilities, capacities, knowledge, concerns, convictions, priorities, compassion, gifts and callings which fit them to do what he wants to do in their neighbourhoods, their nation, and their world. We are entrusted with this marvellous God-given
resource.
