Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn.

In this study Wilmer Estrada-Carrasquillo constructs a Pentecostal lived ecclesiology by exploring how lived faith informs the way people interact in their lived spaces. Because of their eschatological vision, Pentecostals have been caricatured as detached from surrounding culture and unconcerned about contemporary events. Yet this study uncovers the Pentecostal voices and churches that are thinking seriously about the ways their spirituality impacts the public sphere. Estrada-Carrasquillo argues that Pentecostalism needs to ‘revision’ itself constantly and that the topic of theology ...

Many Christians today do not care about attending a Biblical church or finding the true church that Jesus founded because they have a wrong conception of what a church is, and they believe that the local assembly founded by Christ no longer exists. However, if you study Matthew 16: 18, you will learn that His church will continue to perpetuate because Christ made a promise that, even the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. --Matthew 16:18 The...

In volume 1 and 2 of this work we reminded our readers that the Brethren Assemblies are a unique Christian group, and both insiders as well as outsiders to this group should know why it is so. While the church has seen many reformations, the reformation brought in by the Brethren is unusual and has left an impact upon all church groups. In this third volume we would like to give a summary of five major Biblical doctrines. There are a number of fundamental doctrines that the Brethren emphasize, and anyone found denying even one of them is not in conformity with the Bible and the New Testament.

Royal Priesthood Restored Uncover the Covenant. Rediscover Your Calling. Before Israel fell at Sinai, they were called to be a kingdom of priests—a holy nation in covenant with YHWH. But rebellion changed everything. The covenant was broken, the priesthood lost, and the Book of the Law was added to manage sin through ritual and separation. This book reveals: The clear distinction between the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law Why Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the law without abolishing it How Paul’s writings make sense when Torah is rightly divided The restoration of the royal ...

In this book we will review the changes that may be taking place on planet earth; particularly as we head towards a period the bible calls 'End Times.' This book will not attempt to make wild outlandish prophecies that cannot be backed up with scripture or empirical evidence. However, it will provide a potential forecast about what could happen in the last days of time; leaving people with some form of barometer to prepare them for the future. This book does not intend to be dogmatic about end time events, simply because different commentators have different views about what might happen ...

The Church is the new “life in Christ,” or the "communion with the Father in the Son by the Holy Spirit,” or the enjoyment joy or partaking of the grace of God. God purchased her at the cost of Christ's Blood (Acts 20:28). Understanding the Church means perceiving the relationship between God and man, manifested in the divine plan of salvation, God's Fatherhood, the kingdom of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, the means of grace, the lessons from the history of mankind, the destiny of men etc. It is through the Church that God makes known His redeeming wisdom even to the heavenly ...

Is God is dwelling among men on earth today? Where is His dwelling place? How may I be sure of a place in it? This book was written because believers want to know the answers to these important questions. It looks firstly at the Old Testament - remembering that 'whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning' (Romans 15:4) and that the tabernacle which Moses built is said in the New Testament to be a symbol or parable for the present time (Hebrews 9:9). As these lessons are applied to what is written in the New Testament, the author's prayer is that God's Holy Spirit ...

This book highlights a crisis of leadership within the modern church; not an absence of leadership, but a proliferation of the wrong kind of leadership. After 31 years in full-time Christian ministry, Kevin Simington believes it is time to sound the warning bell. The modern church has departed from the collaborative leadership principles of the New Testament and has adopted a secular business model that is undermining the very essence of what it means to be God’s people. This book points the way back to being the mutually accountable body of Christ that God intends his church to be. This ...
