Useful Resources

This list is like an old preacher's library, not very well organized, but, there is good stuff there. 

The book by Robert Coleman, The Master Plan for Evangelism, is a classic. You can find free pdf copy here. 

Here is a summary, pdf, of the Dan Allender book, Leading with a Limp, that I mentioned. 

I gave you a caution about this book. Sometime after writing this Hybels sinned in a way that caused his removal from ministry (A lesson in itself), however, I include this summary of his book, Courageous Leadership because it is an excellent book, https://coindy.squarespace.com/s/Leading_With_A_Limp.pdf

I mentioned Two books in Session 2:

  • Anderson, Dr. Daniel L.. Biblical Slave Leadership: A Stewardship from Above to Lead from Below. Regular Baptist Press.
  • Bremner, Dave. Images of Leadership:Biblical Portraits of Godly Leaders. Oasis International Ltd.
I couldn't find a link to get at these for free. I encourage you to read them, if you can get them.

Eidersheim is wordy. Bring your lunch. But, he is worth reading.

John Piper, Brothers We are not Professionals, is a challenge to the corporate view of Christian Ministry. There is also an update. I don't have the URL handy. Post it in the comments if you find it.

 Thank you, Musa, Kingsley, Mary, & others who sent pictures. Some of the younger attendees Mary A heavenly view Small groups looked at a portion each of Matthew 8&9. It was part of Lesson #5. We did a fly-over of Matthew 5-10, looking at how Jesus interacted with those He was training to lead, so that we could learn. I was very impressed with the 4 groups' observations. Thank you, so much to the ZBA for this kind gift. For the attendees' attention, participation, and praise time that began each session. I slept well in the guest room. I enjoyed the food. It was a great experience.

Beatitude People

                                                                 The Beatitude People In reality, Beatitude People cannot help being the way they are.  They are the way they are because they are partakers of the Christ-life.  These characteristics, known as the Beatitudes, are the qualities of life that God’s children receive from their Heavenly Father.  These blessings are the gifts of a loving God to His people. This is why people-of-the-world and Beatitude People are so different; Beatitude People live because Christ lives within, the people-of-the-world live lives of the flesh.  People-of-the-world are prone to:       Be prideful,       Rejoice in sin,       Assert themselves at the expense of others, and         They crave the thing...

  Message #5, I Am Here to Follow So That I Can Lead Written two weeks ago in SC: “I figure at this time, at the end of a long day of sessions, the theme of this conference takes on new meaning. “Why Am I Here?” 😊 I brought my airplane hat. In this session we are going to fly over a section of scripture to observe some principles from the life of Christ that are essential for us to understand if we are going to grow in the area of leadership. In particular we are going to look at the dynamic between the leader and the follower, but not just any follower. We are going to look at the follower who is on his way to becoming a leader. Some of you are leaders. ·        You have a responsibility to oversee the activities of others in a particular area of ministry. ·        You have stewardship over money and other resources that have been made available for accomplishing the goals of that ministry. ·  ...
