The Grand Weaver

The Bible tells us that, God has fearfully and wonderfully made us. The unique combination of our DNA, family background, gifting, experience, education and the gifts of the Spirit operating in us makes us truly unique individuals.

Over the years I have found myself attracted to and have spoken about this subject because of its importance to the individual believer and the body of Christ. When you weave all of this together with the plan of God and the unfolding of the times and seasons of our lives we begin to see a tapestry which if presented to others with a true understanding of the weaving together of the natural and supernatural would cause us all to stand in awe of God wondrous workings in our lives.

This book adds much the discussion in this area. I highly recommend this work and hope you will join me in the discussion of it.

Below are some materials from the Zondervan web site and Ravi Zacharias' own site to give you a good introduction to this wonderful new book. Synopsis: "With inspiring stories and thought-provoking questions, Ravi Zacharias traces the multiple threads of our lives, describing how the unseen hand of God guides our joys, our tragedies, our daily humdrum to weave a pattern of divine providence and meaning." (from the Zondervan site) http://www.zondervan.com/

"How differently would we live if we believed that every dimension of our lives--from the happy to the tragic to the mundane--were part of a beautiful and purposeful design in which no thread were wrongly woven?

That's what Ravi Zacharias explores in The Grand Weaver. As Christians, we believe that great events such as a death or a birth are guided by the hand of God. Yet we drift into feeling that our daily lives are the products of our own efforts.

This book brims with penetrating stories and insights that show us otherwise. From a chance encounter in a ticket line to a beloved father's final word before dying, from a random phone call to a line in a Scripture reading, every detail of life is woven into its perfect place. In The Grand Weaver, Dr. Zacharias examines our backgrounds, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our beliefs, and explains how they are all part of the intentional and perfect work of the Grand Weaver."http://www.rzim.org/thegrandweaver/ Ravi Zacharias

For thirty-three years Ravi Zacharias (MDiv, Trinity International University) has spoken all over the world in great halls and universities, including Harvard, Princeton, and Oxford. He is listed as a distinguished lecturer with the Staley Foundation and has appeared on CNN and other international broadcasts.

The author of several books for adults and children, he powerfully mixes biblical teaching and Christian apologetics. His most recent works include Walking from East to West, a memoir, and The Grand Weaver, an exploration of God’s intention and pattern in both the ordinary and the startling elements of life. His weekly radio program, Let My People Think, is broadcast over 1,500 stations worldwide, and his weekday program, Just Thinking, began airing in November 2004. He is president of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional offices in Canada, India, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Dr. Zacharias and his wife, Margie, have three grown children and reside in Atlanta.

"The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence"by James W. Goll Your heart has been created for the Presence of God, and it is not complete without His Presence living within.

Author James Goll's own journey into His Presence has brought him face-to-face with angels and the Lord. Jim has heard His voice and has moved in His Presence for many years, carefully recording what he now shares with you.

"The presence of God is meant to be more than just an occasional event during Sunday morning Worship---you are meant to live in God's presence! In The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence, James W. Goll uncovers ancient and nearly forgotten keys to deeper intimacy with Christ Jesus while revealing the ease of working with Christ instead of for Him.

Interpreting the Times

Have you ever noticed how often we use the word time in our everday conversation? Not only are we acutely aware of the passage of time,but our speech is also littered with references to it: We kill and waste time. Time flies, or sometimes crawls. We refer to time in countless expressions and figures of speech.In Interpreting the Times, Chuck Pierce tackles the subject of time, specifically as it relates to God and our relationship with Him, addressing such questions as:
•Is there a Creator who transcends and enters time to connect with His children so they efficiently walk in time?
•When we mess up in one season, can He make us capable of redeeming the times or buying back wasted time?
•Can He extend our horizon line and give us a glimpse of what will be in days ahead?

Pierce moves readers from viewing time as a philosophy or a curse to seeing it as a real gift from God, presenting a new reality of space, time, Spirit, and Truth as they advance through the pages.

View your life from God's perspective
What does it look like when a God, who transcends time, steps into our lives to connect with us? When we mess up, can He make us capable of getting back our wasted time? Can He extend our horizon line and give us a glimpse of the future?

These are just some of the questions that Chuck Pierce addresses in this revolutionary book as he tackles the subject of time, specifically as it relates to God and our relationship with Him. After reading this book, you will:
1. Learn a new system of understanding time - the way God sees it.
2. Learn to identify where you are out of step with God's timing and how to get back in step.
3. Understand spiritual warfare in a new way - as it relates to time.

One of the leading prophetic voices of today, Pierce helps us understand how God, who lives beyond the restraints of time as we know it, intersects with our lives and gives us revelation and understanding, enabling us to take our place above the linear timeline and see our lives from God's perspective.

Mike Erre, teaching pastor and author of Jesus of Suburbia and Why Guys Need God, reveals how this has happened and how Christians can more effectively demonstrate Christ’s presence by again becoming...

1. incarnational—allowing Jesus to live in and through His people
2. eucharistic—reenacting the ministry and sacrifice of Jesus to the world
3. baptismal—dying to old ways of thinking and presenting the resurrection of Jesus as the beginning of the renewal of all things

4. communal—correcting an overly individualistic spirituality by living as the community of God

5. eschatological—presenting a more helpful and hopeful interpretation of the end of our story

Readers will discover how the church can cooperate with Jesus in the world in which they live."

To the One Who Conquers:

50 Daily Meditations on the Seven Letters of Revelation 2-3

By Sam Storms

The seven letters of Revelation 2 and 3 are utterly and unequivocally Christ-centered. To the One Who Conquers brings these first-century letters into the twenty-first century, demonstrating their relevance and practicality for today.Fifty brief meditations inspire in readers a lifetime of faithfulness and Christ-centered living.

Fifty brief meditations bring these first-century letters into the twenty-first century, demonstrating their enormous relevance and practicality for the church today. The seven letters of Revelation 2 and 3 are utterly and unequivocally Christ-centered in their content. The message is clear: Jesus is to be the center of all church life. When it comes to his church, Jesus cares comparatively little about numbers, cultural relevance, social influence, or financial prosperity. The only thing that ultimately matters is the degree to which a church and the lives of its members are shaped according to the likeness of Jesus. These daily meditations lead readers to ask several questions: Is my church centered on Jesus? Am I? Is Jesus prized above all earthly treasures? To the One Who Conquers will help believers fashion their lives and ministries according to what pleases him, inspiring a lifetime of faithfulness.

Permission Granted

Permission Granted: To Do Church Differently In The 21st Century!

Did you ever wish you had permission to change the way you “do church”? Well, now you have it. Permission Granted: To Do Church Differently In The 21st Century You have permission to:
1. Welcome His Presence.
2. Grow in Christ as He has desired.
3. Experience a God-orchestrated meeting.
4. Become the Church, not attend the church.
5. Grow in intercessory prayer.

This “how to” book provides proven tactics to move your church into a “Third Day” realm fully committed to worship. Follow along with authors Graham Cooke and Gary Goodell (director of Permission Ministries and a leader of ThirdDayChurches.com) as they share their years of experience developing new ways to welcome His presence into your church, home, community, your life and the lives of those in the congregation.

"Permission is Granted....will provoke new thoughts that will challenge you to change. If you are satisfied with the present condition of the Church, then this book will offend you. But if you are craving for fresh expressions of your personal and corporate faith that are relevant for today and tomorrow's world, then the words in this book will stir you to action. Permission is Granted...., written by Gary Goodell and Graham Cooke, is strategically thought out, Biblically grounded, and filled with vision and faith.

"Take the dare and let your heart run wild; dream a big dream of a Third-Day Church that has both new wineskins and new wine." --James W. Goll, Cofounder of Encounters Network, Author of The Seer, Dream Language, and The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence.

"Gary Goodell has been 'around the block' concerning the religious world. He has operated in traditional churches and seen all manner of flakiness as people seek to come into their spirituality. Consequently, he has a great perspective over what the Third-Day Church should really look like. Permission Is Granted...encourages us that God is bringing great change to what we have known as 'church life.' You will enjoy reading this." --Chuck D. Pierce, Glory of Zion International Ministries, Denton, Texas.

"As the Body of Christ forges ahead in this third millennium, there is great need for pioneers, fathers, and those willing to 'follow the cloud.' Gary Goodell has always been this kind of leader, through his many years in his Pentecostal roots of Foursquare, during the renewal days of Vineyard, and now as the apostolic leader of Third-Day churches. His new book, Permission Is Granted..., is more than a model; it is a mirror of lifestyle that Gary and Jane Goodell, as well as those who God has sovereignly connected to them from around the world, have lived and walked for may years. Thank God for those who are willing to write the story, rather than always reading someone else's. I strongly recommend this prophetic manual to all those whom God is leading into the Third Day." --Jill Austin, Master Potter Ministries, Laguna Hills, California

Graham Cooke has been involved in prophetic ministry since 1974. He founded the School of Prophecy. A popular conference speaker, Graham has established a wide range of training programs that are renowned for their practical application, teaching content, and prophetic impartation.

Gary Goodell has been doing ministry stuff for 40 years. He directs Permission Ministries, a mentoring system for Simple Church and helps lead ThirdDayChurches.com. He is the father of two married children and the grandfather of six. He and his wife, Jane, live in San Diego, California. On several occasions, history has provided the needed critical mass and the synergistic inertia to thrust the church into breaking out of its' box and becoming the force in culture and society that God intended it to be.

Today, the church, in the 21st Century, has once again reached this "critical mass." It is something so big and so obvious that the winds of change demand we look hard at our forms and face the reality that a different church must provide a different response to a postmodern age.

This Third Millennium ("a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day," 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4), or this "Third Day" requires a "Third Way" of doing and being the church. This book tells the story of one of those churches—a single-cell, Sunday morning, building—driven, pastor-dominated church that has broken out into an empowering network of churches and ministries. It is a must read for anyone who wants to 'do church differently,' in the third millennium.

Simple Church:

Simple Church: Returning to God's Process for Making Disciples Author: Thom S. Rainer, Eric Geiger

The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google home page, simple ideas are changing the world. Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.

Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus.

Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify. Dowload Sample Chapter 27-Page PDF @

Simple Church Returning to God’s process for Making Disciples By Thom Rainer & Eric Geiger

Simple Church Defined

A simple church is designed around a straightforward and strategic process that moves people through the stages of spiritual growth. The leadership and the church are clear about the process (clarity) and are committed to executing it. The process flows logically (movement) and is implemented in each area of the church (alignment). The church abandons everything that is not in the process (focus).

Clarity

Clarity is the ability of the process to be communicated and understood by the people. Understanding always precedes commitment. If people are to embrace and participate in the ministry process, they must be able to internalize it.

Movement

Movement is the sequential steps in the process that cause people to move to greater areas of commitment. Movement is about handoffs. Movement is what happens in between the programs. Movement is how someone is handed off from one level of commitment to a greater level of commitment.

Alignment

Alignment is the arrangement of all ministries and staff around the same simple process. Alignment to the process means that all ministry departments submit and attach themselves to the same overarching process. When a church is fully aligned, all ministries are operating from the same ministry blueprint. The ministries not only embrace the simple process, but they are engaged in it. Each ministry department mirrors the process in that particular area.

Focus

Focus is the commitment to abandon everything that falls outside of the simple ministry process. Focus most often means saying "no." Without focus, the church becomes cluttered despite its process. Without focus, the process is buried somewhere underneath a myriad of special events and activities.

Less is More

Fewer programs means: more focus on the programs offered. more excellence. more energy for each program. more money allocated to each program. more people coming to the ones that are offered. more attention from the people in your church. more impact.
Ministries and Programs Ministries are different from programs. Ministries are either entire departments (see ministry expansions) or specific groups (see ministry additions) that help move people through one aspect of the process.

Ministry Expansions

Ministry expansions are new ministries that are geared toward a specific age group or life stage. The church ministry is expanded to focus intentionally on a specific group of people. These groups were formerly a part of a different ministry, now they have their own identity.

Ministry Additions

Ministry additions are new ministries that fulfill a specific function within the simple process. These ministries must be set up to help move people through the process of transformation.

For example, the baptism ministry team make is easy for people to move to baptism.

Four Examples

Cross Church

Immanuel Church

Christ Church

North Pointe Community Church

Cross Church

They have a simple three-step purpose statement that is also its process. "Love God, love others, serve the world." One member said, "The worship service helps me love God more, and my small group is where I learn to really love others. I serve on the greeting team that allows me to serve others."

Measuring Method

Cross Church takes a horizontal attendance measuring approach that allows them to track the percentage of the congregation in each process area. The change in percentages over time gives them a sense of movement within the process.

Measurement Matrix

Immanuel Church

They concluded that fully committed believers would be intimate with God, and other Christians, people who grow in their faith, and are servants in the Kingdom of God. They describe their discipleship focus as a process. They call it Connecting, Growing, Serving. First, Immanuel seeks to connect people to God and others. They desire to see people become "connecting believers." Next they challenge "connecting believers" to become "growing believers" by engaging in opportunities for deeper spiritual growth.

Finally, the process ends with "growing believers" committing to become "serving believers."

Christ Church

God impressed on their pastors’ hearts to focus people on four things: an intimate relationship with God, community with others, serving, and influencing nonbelievers.

They committed to one statement that would feature their simple process:
Connect to God, others, ministry, and the lost.

Discipleship includes being intimate with God (connect to God), living in community with other believers (connect to others), serving the Body of Christ (connect to ministry), and sharing the gospel (connect to the lost). Define it; illustrate it; measure it; discuss it;

Northpointe Community Church The image of a home Foyer is the welcoming place Move to the living room for connections The kitchen is small groups where discipleship occurs Simple Church is NOT Simple It is not a quick fix It is not whacking programs, it is building a culture of simplicity The philosophy is simple implementation is not It shouldn’t be the next fad for church growth (WillowBack 2.0)

Discipleship Essentials

Discipleship has regained notice in the church today. This book will give you some options and formats you may not have thought about yet. In my duties as a professor of Pastoral Ministry and as Discipleship Pastor I have used the previous versions of this book. If you are looking for a great overall book on Discipleship start here. I have used many of the ideas in established churches and believe they adapt well in a variety of church models and theologies.

It is crystal clear that Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. It is shocking that so many churches have either dropped this from their practice and their theology or think of it as only teaching personal evangelism. When we examine the Gospels we see Jesus adapting the Rabbinical School method where by those who have been called by Him and believe His message are taught as He ministers to others, as well as, in times when he directs His efforts directly to them as He includes them as a part of His day to day life and activities. Greg has done all of the work at hammered it out in real life day to day living.

The material below is from intervarsity's web site. There is a link at the end of the article where you can find more materials.

Discipleship Essentials: Discover the fullness of life in Christ.

We grow in Christ as we seek him together. Jesus' own pattern of disciple-making was to be intimately involved with others and allow life to rub against life. By gathering in twos or threes to study the Bible and encourage one another, we most closely follow Jesus' example with the twelve disciples.

This workbook by Greg Ogden is a tool designed to help you follow this pattern Jesus drew for us. Working through it will deepen your knowledge of essential Christian teaching and strengthen your faith.

Each week contains the following elements:

• a core truth presented in a question-answer format
  
• a memory verse and accompanying study
  
• an field-tested inductive Bible study
  
• a reading on the theme for the week
  
• questions to draw out key principles in the reading

This material is designed for groups of three. It has also been used successfully as an individual study program, a one-on-one discipling tool and small group curriculum.

Jesus had a big enough vision to think small. Focusing on a few did not limit his influence. Rather, it expanded it. Discipleship Essentials is designed to help us influence others as Jesus did--by investing in a few.

This Second edition includes a new foreword by the author. These studies are for both individuals and groups.
